I almost always wash my jeans in warm. I'm not sure it makes much difference.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
They've been machine washed a few times (always cold) and dried with big giant blasts of heat. A warm wash probably won't do anything at this point, will it?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
hot wash might shrink them a little bit but in my experience with trying to shrink jeans they stretch back to their original shape soon after you put them on.

I don't think they will shrink, JZ.
Does anyone know anything about facebook? The theatre wants us to join a facebook group for updates and I have been really resistant to facebook, but I can't even see the group without joining. Does it email you updates, because the last damn thing I want is to have to keep checking something for updates!
Also- MAN to I have cranky pants!

Do you mean "in a dryer"? Or something else? (I'm not trying to be snippy; I think that tumble-drying can shrink jeans in a way that, say, hanging them in front of a radiator can't.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
If you accelerate the jeans to some large percentage of the speed of light, they'll shrink, but in only one dimension.

not your mom's socks.
when I asked where my red ceramic bowl (I kept extra votives in it) was, it was stacked up on the side of the house with the "junk."
how did I miss this?! gnome-ing, yes!
Hi Shir!
Sparky's revenge mechanism is highly refined. We do loves that. As with all the rest of the package.

Just in a dryer. Phooey. They were jeans that I got during the inbetween post-baby/pre-regular belly state, and I was hoping to coax them into fitting properly without having to go out and buy a damn belt (they're so irritatingly low rise that none of my regular belts fit). Onto the freecycle pile they go!

Yeah, I was going to say even if you hadn't been drying them, they might shrink a bit, but I always find that even if they're small when I put them on, they expand as I'm wearing them.
Welcome, Shir!
Sophia, join facebook! Play scrabulous!! The way groups work, they CAN send a message to everyone, but there can also be stuff on the group wall that doesn't get emailed to everyone, it just depends on how they're planning to work it.
