 @theaardvark @robb yeah, I was going to say I think this was a Gen X thing. I think we were also the first generation to start using duvets covers and not bothering with top sheets. And we realized that no one actually needs dryer sheets or boxes of Kleenex all around their house.  @saren @theaardvark @robb If you don't use top sheets, what keeps the ghosts away when the weather is warm? @saren @theaardvark @robb @saren @theaardvark @robb the Kleenex one confuses me, why wouldn't you need access to tissues? maybe it's just my household of hay fever suffering millennials but easy access to tissues is not something we would forgo π  @saren @robb @theaardvark @wolfie yeah we absolutely have boxes of tissues all over the place π @saren @theaardvark @robb @saren @theaardvark @robb @amokura @saren @theaardvark @robb isn't ironingdone to kill bacteria and as a side effect make the clothes softer?
@amokura @saren @theaardvark @robb Years back, I needed a plug, so I took it off the iron. I've never got around (or needed) to replace it.  @saren @theaardvark @robb The drier sheets and kleenexes don't need to be everywhere, but for those of us with pets & allergies, they are still far more necessary than an iron or a top sheet.  @saren @theaardvark @robb otoh recently started to use a sheet because allergy covers stick to the duvet covers, which means they take ages to change & ruck up the duvet making it smaller, which for us giants is annoying. Sheet makes it so much easier, especially as it also sticks. @theaardvark @robb My fav thing about gen x is sharing Jennyβs number across all retail rewards programs.  @DrSuzanne @theaardvark @robb if you are ever at a store that gives discounts to "members" just use your local area code and Jenny's number. Works every time.  |

Yeah, & the resultant brain damage had you ironing jeans for inexplicable reasons. Well done, you.
