Hey, I can fold a fitted sheet. But in my defense, I used to work in the laundry department of a nursing home to earn money for college. So, I learned the "proper" technique, so everything would fit in their linen closets. Witch Wanna get engaged or would your husband be upset?

Reminds me of this bad grammar school joke: What's black and white, white and black, black and black, white and black, black and white? A nun falling down the stairs.

Your husband it blessed, he has a keeper in you. Oh, and I'm jealous, the only baking I can do it with the bread machine.

Maybe you could find your personal talent in baking. BTW, thanks for the compliment.

I don't know about that. When I was young I would on occassion give my mother the stink eye,. Mom would reply with "Don't look at me in that tone of voice." Mom could clearly hear what I was thinking.

So, I learned the "proper" technique, so everything would fit in their linen closets. You're the first person I've heard of that can do that. I just ball them up and put them in the closet. The comforter's going to cover them, so I don't care if they're wrinkled.

Not a meme but funny. Featured on Good Morning America this morning was this Tennessee woman's license which she renewed last month. The MVD put the wrong ID picture on it.

I learned from my mom, about that long ago too. I fold mine. I spray them wrinkle releaser when I put them on the bed. (I used to iron them. 😳)

I remember ironing my dad's handkerchiefs every Saturday. I also had to iron his shirts. I hated ironing.

I've got some to donate to the cause. DH decided to put sage in our garden this year, for the first time, and that plant has gotten HUGE.

Not a meme but funny. Featured on Good Morning America this morning was this Tennessee woman's license which she renewed last month. The MVD put the wrong ID picture on it. Did a quick google on this and have to say she works for someone who has a good sense of humor. And noticed the 8 yr license. Wish we had that - only good for 4 yrs here

I remember ironing my dad's handkerchiefs every Saturday. I also had to iron his shirts. I hated ironing. My sister had to do that too. My sister also had to make the family dinner salad every day too. To this day, 60 years later, she will not prepare a salad for anyone. Hated both jobs. She was the only female sibling out of four kids. We boys had other assigned jobs. If her kids growing up wanted a salad, they had to make it themselves. Sister would buy the veggies but putting it together was the kids's job.
