Get some wide elastic banding, fold the ends over and sew to keep end from unraveling, place safety pins at each end, pin over corners and create an artificial "pocket." That's what my mom used to do.
That's brilliant!
And boys -- let's watch the swearing.

Spike's Bitches 40: Buckle Up, Kids! Daddy's Puttin' the Hammer Down.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

For those of you who clean with vinegar:
May I assume white vinegar?
What proportions?

Yes, white vinegar, the kind that you can buy in the gallon containers. I generally dillute by half, and sometimes add a bit of either dish soap or essential oil, depending on what I'm doing. A good source for this stuff is [link] .

Thanks, Hil!
ION, while I am not in Margaritaville, I am drinking Landshark Lager made by Margaritaville, Inc. It's quite tasty, a little bolder than Corona, but along the same lines.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Truth hurts, doesn't it, baby?
There's probably whole seminars on that.
Indeed. I went to a couple of those seminars last weekend.
Oh, wait. It wasn't about the *truth* hurting....
You know when you begin to emerge from a long illness and get your first clear look at the state of your home? Yeah.
My cold is still REALLY bad, AND I gave it to The Boy, so we've basically been doing the bare minimum required to keep vermin out of the house, and let me tell you. Two dogs, 2 cats, 2 sick people who aren't cooking -- it's like a poster for a hepatitis vaccination.
I got the cold Monday, gave the cold to The Boy on Wednesday, and if he gets better before I do (which is looking likely) I am going to be PISSED.

Just finished three loads of laundry: kitchen linens, quilts, and bed linens. Everything folded and put where it ought to be. And now, exhausted.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I am both impressed and highly envious of Trudy's huge and spacious residence.
Am presently sitting as far from the door to my studio as it's possible to be without being on the balcony, and I could still hit it with a shoe from here if I needed to, even though I'm a crap shot.
They were just packets of Mahatma flavored rice, Daniel.
...see, while everyone else was thinking 'mold!' and 'nacho cheese', here I had a startled moment of wondering what the hell the Mahatma was supposed to taste like, and why on earth anyone would make rice taste like him, and whether there were other flavours like Mother Theresa and The Buddha. Just a moment.
Also, I twice misread Omnis's houselves as housewives. And still thought it was a good idea, and that I'd treat her well and set her free if only she'd cook and clean and all that.

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

My old place was 196 square feet. Total. This really feels palatial.
