Hi Roc...I will get that FS out to you the beginning of the week, its been a hectic week but I have it ready to mail, I'm anxious for you to try it. Also Suavitel...I know its horrid scents but the red jug *Sunset Rose* not the one that says Fast Drying...smells so-so in the jug but mixed with Downy Free its really lovely. I think you might like it on towels and sheets. I just picked this up a few day ago and was hesitant about it until I mixed it and used it on towels...IMO its rather lovely. It does not smell like roses. I'm going to mix a bit of it with Downy Free and send it also. It just smells very soft.

mamapinky - No rush. I wish you would just sit down in that big chair of yours and put up your feet for 30 minutes!

I'm making a run to Shoprite in about an hour (hope they have my candied fruitcake fruit!) so I'll check on the Nu Soft for you.

You are so sweet to think of me. May have mentioned I reconditioned all the towels I'm sending to my brother last week with the Miele. It did a great job but no fragrance. So I did a work around and spritzed the towels with linen spray afterwards.. A bit counter intuitive -- no question -- but effective.

Roc, I often use Downy Free on towels than a light spritz with linen spray before folding. My boys love the peppermint spritz. Sometimes I think unscented FS and linen spray is the way to go much more scent choices with more tolerable scents.

Yum homemade Fruit Cake, sooo much better than any store bought that all tastes like preserveatives.

I do sit off and on during the day LOL, that's usually the times I log in here. I just never put my feet up, and as soon as I sit I think of something I need to do and of course that leads to more things that need done. LOL. On the other hand the more I do during the day the more my RA affects me at night..I have completely given up lifting my soup pot of boiling water, someone else has to lift it..I've found that is really not good for my RA. I've just started a round of Steroids and the doc says no lifting, pushing, pulling anything more than 5 pounds, now I have to rely on hubs more, well I guess this is the reason I've kept him around LOL..OMG enough about me...how often do you sit Roc LOL. When you spot that Nu soft take a huff..I'm curious about its scent now days. Take Care.

Half Cats
Q

I always referred to cats of your age as teenager kitties, Acorn. I found out my cousins did as well and got a chuckle out of that. They just are so adolescent. Still have the old nick in them (do cats ever not?) and have those long lanky legs and want mothering, but pretend they don't because it might make them look less than self assured. I cannot imagine this house without its resident cats, nor can I imagine me without cat fur underfoot. I have four at the moment. A large and gentle Tom with obstipation, an elderly half siamese tabby who adores me and must lay across my shoulders at every chance like a fur boa, and who screams when I put her down. Then I have the rescued three-legged feral who is a blue and her daughter, a willowy grey shorthair who loves to be noticed but pulls away from touch as if she is autistic. Each one is their own personality and I believe that is why I love cats. They don't bend a bit in expressing their read psyche.

Animals are so much more perceptive than we are; they can hear our thoughts, but do we ever hear theirs?.. Today there was a story on tv about a Rottweiler who saved her owner's life. She & her owner went for a hike every day. Every single day she got all excited & bounded into the car & they went to a wooded area & took a long hike. One day she hung back & tried to get back in the house & just did not want to go. The owner finally got her in the car & off they went. He had a heart attack on the trail. The dog went & got help. If he'd listened to her, he would have been within reach of the telephone when he had the attack. &, he acknowledged, if she hadn't been with him on the trail, he wouldn't be here today.

Thank you daylilydayzed. I did check the Roc-lon web site, hoping there was only one 108", but they have a 108" blend too. They both say they have shrinkage, the cotton seems to have less though. Wide Crease Resistant Muslin - 70% Polyester/30% Cotton, Permanent Press Finish 108" says Preshrunk (2-3% Residual Shrinkage) Wide Permanent Press Muslin - 100% Cotton, Permanent Press Finish - 108" says Preshrunk (3-5% Residual Shrinkage) Anyhoo, I guess I have the 100% Cotton, gladly!

roc lon drapes or liners
Q
Comments (1)
I'm thinking most liners they sell are blackout liners, which reduce the amount of light coming into the room. These are being sold to be used along with your unlined drape. They could be installed on rings and pulled separately behind a panel. Roclon is a fabric choice for lining, which provides a neutral color to the street side and protects your face fabric from the sun. I prefer to use a heavier lining such as thermalsuede, or blackout lining and usually add interlining, a flannel lining, for extra body and insulation when fabricating window treatments.

I agree Roc, Suavitel Sunset Rose (yes, NOT the fast drying one) mixed with unscented softener does smell great, especially on towels and sheets. As does Downy Citrus Spice mixed with unscented.....heavenly!!!

Huffed the suavitel rose at shoprite. I already gave the yellow one away and it was better than the rose.

It's no biggie because I'm doing a workaround.

Larsi, lova ya a ton -- you are a doll but you and I are polar opposites on fragrance. Citrus spice makes me want to run screaming from the room. You love Bounce and I couldnt take an elevator ride with someone holding the box!

Eventually there may be a softener fragrance I actually like a lot but Im starting to doubt it. Fortunately I only need it for towels.

At worst I could mix Mrs M geranium with Downy clear, Miele or Ecover. But the linen water works. The sea salt neroli is good on the towels. Im using the agave pear blossom for clothes.

Roc..you absolutly must smell the Suavitel Rose mixed with Downy Free. ..its truely devine.

Amiee wanted the Downy Sun Blossom so I picked one up tonight. I have never bought this scent before but for sure has got to be better than Downys Lavender which gags me. I love Lavender but this isn't even close to Lavender. I've been using Downy Free on her bedding and using Rocs Lavender Spritz linen spray when I iron them, very nice...very very nice lol. I will continue with her bedding this way the Downy Sun Blossom is for her unmentionables...I have a feeling she won't like it since she likes everything in Lavender. Oh well she probably just wants to switch things up for awhile. LOL

I think Im hopeless because the pink Suavitel was very nail salon as well. But it may have been the quick dry..Why does it need to be mixed with Downy? I don't want to use two products. I'm doing that now. I love my laundry but I have other things to do and the softener is not high on my list of things to fiddle with, ya know?

pinky, I hope you will let the kids do some of the chores and take it a bit easy. i have a funny video for you about being busy. i will email you a link.
