    Default Just checking.. Do you know how to fold a fitted sheet?

    Just checking on your domestic skills here... do you know how to fold a fitted bed sheet?

    I was shown how to do it a few times, still can't get it, darn.

    Speaking of domestic skills, I made a foolish offer on amph on CL... it it goes through I will have to sneak it into the house.

    Just cover it with the fitted sheet that you can't fold.

    tst, tst, you did not answer the question.

    I fessed up about the amph, the seller is not responding (yet), and I was told mumble-mumble dollars was "nothing" (uh?)

    Conclusion: the amph can get into the house via the front door... pics if it happens!

    Yeah, my wife showed me how a bit ago. I thought it was sort of magic.

    As for the amp, woohoo!

    Women should fold sheets and men should play guitar.. and now that my wife saw this post I have an a-ss-kicking in store. ;-) Aside from the joke, I can never fold things the same way twice. Maybe it's the anarchist in me.

    For about the 2 times a year that I have to fold a fitted sheet I usually just end up wadding it up and throwing it in the linnen closet.

    I couldn't fold a sheet correctly if my life depended on it. If I fold them they will have wrinkles. I do ok with towels but sheets? no way. I hang all my cloths in the closet so I don't have to fold. I have had many women try to teach me how,Mother,Aunts,girlsfriends. All with no luck. They gave up.
    Walmart people hate me. When I pick up shirts to look at I never fold them and put them back right. I try but always end up balling it up and throwing it on top of the pile. At 37 I have come to accept that folding things IS a magic trick.

    BTW-I thought hubberjub's suggestion was very creative. Sounds like something I would do. I love killing two birds with one stone. A stroke of genius that was!

    I only time in my life where I made my bed neatly everyday where you could bounce a quarter off it was 17 yrs ago in the State Pen,and the only reason is cause everyone else did and I wasn't going anywhere so I had extra time to do it.Sumi

    You sort of fold one fitted bit over the other so it becomes a square w/o the elastic on the edges.

    I've tried numerous times, and can't do it.

    I just roll the thing into a ball and stuff it in with the rest of the sheets.

    I dunno what it means. But I can do my linen neat enough it stays in place at night. days, I don't bother with it. Wife sometimes does, not often. Sometimes we have some cover sheet over the bed. After wash, we just kinda fold and roll them and toss in the closet.

    Bingo!

    Every time the sheets come out of the dryer my wife hands me "my" end and we fold them.
    Ah, nothing relieves the discomfort of GAS pains like the sound of the UPS truck rumbling down your street. It's like the musician's Beano.

    Nice. I've always done it the way he described up to about 1:10, but the bit after that was slick. I'll use that next time.
