'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I feel like if I could fiddle with it I could figure it out, but I can't visualize it well enough to fiddle remotely. Sorry.
Lee, I can't believe you want to let the air get away! I am also imagining the thump thump thump of a crazed cat inside a closet, and that would not be soothing. But you know Perkins best.
Feh.
I feel like if I could fiddle with it I could figure it out, but I can't visualize it well enough to fiddle remotely. Sorry.
Eh. It's an asshole piece of machinary, but once I tame it, look out. I will master the ruffle foot and the embroidery function. Yes. I shall have gimped button holes. Just you wait.
Can you lock the air in the closet instead?
And I way overpeppered my bread cubes for Cass' panzanella caprese for tonight. I am having a seasoning issue day.Oh! I had totally forgotten about that dish. I am going to make it tomorrow! YAY! (It tends to work well for me well-peppered, too.)
Oh, if the handwheel has an inner knob/wheel that twists within the outer wheel (not turning anything like a belt, just loosening and tightening sort of on its own), that could be it. I've sewn on some machine or other that did that.
I remember a machine on which the inner part of the handwheel was a large rocker switch.
Go, Perkins! Get that air!
I can hear "Sounds of Silence" blaring through the walls. At 2 a.m.
Neighbors have discovered irony.
Any soft surface (like cloth) not specifically labeled hypoallergenic will house dust mites. Skin houses dust mites. They're everywhere.
On the plus side, my OB gave me the okay to start taking Claratin-D again, so I'll be seeing relief in my future soon. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay drugs!
Thanks, Jessica.
I'm sad, but there's no way I can de-dust as many cushions as I own on a usefully regular basis. So the cull must happen. And soon. Very sad.
If you're not going the cushion route, Kat, they're open for possession by someone else. Or I toss them.
Jessica, do non-air-permeable cushions pose less off a problem? I mean, the mites live in the stuffing as well as the covering, don't they? Not that I'm about to go whole hog on leather cushions or anything--but I'm wondering if they'd be less bad.

The wind was blowing so hard this morning that it actually turned my umbrella inside out while it was still closed.
My feet are still wet, I am cranky, and the stupid freaking snowpocalypse vexes me.
