'Hell Bound'
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 could use an au pair.
I remember having to show a dorm-mate how to fold a contour sheet the first week of school freshman year. Her mom had shown her how to do the actual laundry (complete with written instructions), but she was clueless when it came to folding.
I don't think that's really a class or pampering thing. I've been doing my own laundry for an awful lot of years and I'm still hopeless at that. (Also never heard it called that - I assume it's the same as a fitted sheet?)

I was just wondering that. If so...it's an art, and I don't judge anyone for not being able to do it well. I only started getting halfway sure it was possible after Hec was showing off here some whiles back.
I can't fold them, even with instructions. I needa second person to do it.

Showing off what? My fitted sheet folding skills? Because I don't have that skill set. JZ does, though, so our house is set.
Hmm. I wonder who it was then...I'm pretty sure it was a guy.
It was a guy, but I can't remember who it was

Yeah, I don't know how to do that. I try, but I FAIL. Epic FAIL on the fitted sheet for Nora.
I don't know where I picked up the term "contour sheet"--it might have been at home, because "fitted sheet" doesn't seem to come naturally to me.
Then again, it might have been from commercials. I think we probably called it "the bottom sheet" when I was a kid, so I might have started saying "contour sheet" to be more grown-up because that's what they called them on tv.

I solve this problem by laundering and putting the sheets directly on the bed.
Contour sheet folding is pretty fun, actually--stick your hand in one corner, match it up with the opposite corner, and then shake it out so everything lines up. Then do the same on the other two corners and fold the two doubled-up corners together.
It is easier to do it with a twin dorm bed sheet than a queen-sized one, though.
