Have you heard this one? Quit washing your jeans.
Comments (6)Assuming there are no stains, spills, dirt, body fluids/sweat, and that they have been on a clean body, jeans should be washed every 3rd or 4th wear. The fabric starts to degrade making the jeans look 'old' when not washed *properly*. Washing isn't the main problem, it is using cycles and detergents that are too harsh. Jeans should be turned inside-out and I prefer permanent press, warm water, cold rinse, and a lower spin cycle. Also, I think hang-drying works best, or drying on the delicate cycle and removing when still slightly damp. Would like to know anyone else's thoughts, best practices, etc. I spend about $200 each on jeans so I want to take care of them, but I'm not about to go 6 months without washing them!...See MoreHave you ever heard of Barn Quilts? Made one?
Comments (28)Kalona, Iowa, has a lot of them on each barn along the highway. I agree...the barns look better with the quilts when they are painted. They are fun to watch for...some of them have a quilt on the front "and" on the back. We have two wonderful barns on each side of our house...I've considered putting up barn quilts myself, but have never done it. There was a display of barns at our local museum a year or so ago and our barns were featured...they are old dairy barns...no longer used for that though....See MoreStop me if you've heard this one

Comments (9)I think I would rather deal with the snake than the mouse!! My horror story (that still haunts me to this day even though it occurred nearly 18 years ago - the last and only time we have had a mouse in the house) is as follows...I was peacefully sleeping at night with an arm over my head when I felt something tickling my arm near my head...I screamed and flung my arm to see a mouse flying across the room!! UGH...it still freaks me out! Needless to say, my ban on cats on the bed was lifted until we got rid of that little sucker ;-)...See Moreannabel__WA
