Reply to LPT: A 'peace' of clear tape over the speaker in electronic childrens' toys makes them much less grating when adjacent to long play sessions. by thiosk
Did that at a Wal-Mart. New store, the in-aisle price lookup scanners were so loud with their "beep" they hurt my ears. So i brought a strip of clear packing tape each time i went and covered the speaker grills one by one. Took a couple months. Was afraid the employees might remove it, but never happened. Been about 10 years so far!

There are a lot of people in my life who be horrified by this. For myself, I save even more time by only having 1 sheet set. It goes straight from the dryer to the bed.
My MIL actually folds her sheets very neatly after they come out of the dryer. Takes her a good 20 minutes because she's so slow and it has to be done perfectly. Then she comes upstairs and puts them straight on her bed.

I did 200 deliveries on doordash and received tips only 5 times. It's bad, but tips are optional and I knew that going in. If all low tippers stopped ordering, you'd be out of the job. I know, it sucks but the apps markup menu items already and milk all the service fees while you blame the customers.

The ironing is to kill organisms on the sheets. We don't have to do that anymore.

Really? But it's OK for you to be rude. Got It.

Queen Martha was how I learned to fold a fitted sheet.
You don’t use the edges, you poke your hands into the dart type parts (corners), let the elastic parts fall where they will while folding the corners together.
Than you place that and the flat sheet and pillowcase inside the other pillowcase so it all stays together.

Exactly. People say some really cruel stuff, inadvertently, trying to fix it.

Buying souvenirs does not require travel.

Agreed. This is just an in-the-moment bandaid, but I figured that's worth sharing!

How to fold fitted sheets:
- Put your index fingers in two of the inside corners seams on one side of the sheet.
- Touch your fingers together so that the corners touch.
- Put your fingers in other two corners.
- Bring your fingers holding the two new corners so that they touch the first two corners.
- Roll it up into a ball.
- Congratulations. You just folded a fitted sheet.
