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.
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.
This cold is seriously weirding me out. (white fonted for gross TMI) No runny nose, not much coughing or sneezing, when I hack up congestion or blow my nose everything's thick and even almost dry in the latter case, as if I'm badly dehydrated. But I've been drinking like a fish since last Friday, so the fluid just isn't getting incorporated into my body's mucus-producing system. Makes for less-constant respiratory misery with occasional spikes (though the sore throat and cotton-headed feeling are constant), but the unfamiliar symptoms are worrying me.

I'd imagine so, but I'm not an expert. (If my allergy symptoms were chronic migraines instead of just itching/congestion/etc, I'd probably be more vigilant, but I just have the basic allergy covers on my mattress and pillows. I don't even have a HEPA filter.]
ita, I think you can still keep some cushions around, but you'll want to go with something you can air out and/or wash. Removable covers and either hypo-allergenic or washable cores. But, like Jessica said, my dust mite allergy doesn't manifest in migraines, so maybe you'll need to be more vigilant.
