I'm with Brenda and wouldn't bother. You'll have a sheet between it and you anyway.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Brenda, Nicole, Trudy, thanks. That's pretty much what I'm thinking. The absolute worst thing I can imagine is that the sizing in the fabric might possibly make unpleasant (what are the chances it would be truly toxic) fumes when heated. Hmm. I could go plug it in now and see what happens....
ETA: Trudy, cuz x-posty.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I just wash the electric blanket on a gentle cycle and dry it on a low setting.
"i can not discuss this with you " is fair - esp since you work in HR - you know when they can and can not. Really, not sure the of course not was ethical either - it may give more grounds for an age discrimination suit.
stoopid. no one deserves the sword hanging over their head for no good reason.
Leif story please

The care instructions for the blankie are: pre-soak for 15 min, wash on delicate cycle for 2 min (using lukewarm water - not a possibility as the stuff coming out of the tap is COLD! and it doesn't have a warm rinse option). Then, pre-heat dryer for 2 min, and dry on low for 10, then hang up to finish drying but Do Not Use Clothspins!
ETA: Don't forget to stretch the fabric by hand in between each important step.

I have a Leif story (what else is new), but maybe it should wait for another time.
No way, man! Bring on the viking boy!

Tell the story, Gud.
It may serve to cheer us all up.
I'm down in the dismals at the moment, a result of caculating how much of the time since I got my B.A. was spent as an actual employee of wherever I was working in a full-time position.
The total was 4.5 months.
Three of those were post-layoff.
I'm nearly 32. How the hell, given that I know I'm a good worker who makes herself valuable as all heck, am I still a temp?

Man, our dog knocked over a jug of water and my wife got all over me for being too slow to get a towel becuase I took literally about 3 seconds to put down the glass of tea I was holding. I hate that crap.

That kind of overreacting? She's venting a lot. On you. It sucks and is terribly unfair.

Ok, I have decided to wash it on "Knits" for 3 minutes, and will put it in the dryer on the fluff cycle.
