Curses. I was too late. Nevertheless, a good suggestion.

Duvet
 

You may already do this and still find the process irritating, but I've had an easier time getting the cover on by grabbing both top corners of the comforter in one hand, getting that hand up into one of the top corners of the cover, then sliding the other top corner of the comforter along the top seam to the other top corner (while holding the original corner in the original corner). Then you can hold onto the two corners and just shake it a lot and yank the sides down.

I hate buttoning all the buttons at the bottom.

I usually call them comforter covers, but I'm into hobgoblins.

What are these "succulents" you mention? I'm a little worried if I google I'll get porn.

The International Male has IM apparently
 

blueglue3000: Hey there! Are you a female from Los Angeles area and interested in a safe, quality sexual play with a young, very energetic, wild yet sensitive European male (disease free, drug free) with large equipment? I have a very high sex drive and can go on for hours (if that's okay with you). A clean pic will be sent upon request. Let me know if you're interested and we'll take it from there. Have a great day.

OK - this is a croton: http://palestracorp.com/plants5.jpg Don't eat it.

Also - I'm thinking those nice faux orchids would suit you well - lots of color, small space, not dependant on seasons and the beauty is - the real ones look fake too. Perhaps this: http://www.ipdplants.com/flower10.jpg or this http://www.ipdplants.com/flower7.jpg ?

Duvet
 

I think that is because the term "duvet" is relatively new here. People used to sleep with sheets and blankets or with sheets and a comforter that did not have a cover because it was never next to the skin. In Europe, where the duvet I believe originated, the duvet always had a cover because the originators did not do the sheet and blanket or sheet and comforter thingy. So the duvet grew up with a cover, but the comforter did not. You still use the term comforter, but because it did not historically have a cover, the term "duvet cover" is used to refer to the thing that covers the comforter.

I would like to nominate this post as my most boring post ever. FYI, NTTAWWT, YMMV.

But it looks like it would make a good salad!

Those flowers look interesting (in a good way ;) ); they'd look unfaker if they were in different holders and didn't have the weird shredded newsprint (or whatever it is) in them.

Duvet
 

This process is damn near impossible with a kingsize duvet and arms that belong to a 5'4" body. I have to continually move from edge to edge or enlist the help of another.

Duvet
 

Second.

Am I the only person here with a cleaning service?

Bitching, please.
 

Lucky for you, I exist just to right-size a little picture for some lawyer discussion board. So give me a link or email the picture to info@lawtalkers.com, and I'll change it for you.

In the meanwhile, you should tell your IT folks that now a bunch of lawyers who don't know them will mock them on an anonymous chat board. That should sting.

Duvet
 

You must not be dextrous ;). I'm 5'4" (or possibly 5'3 1/2") and have a kingsize comforter -- the biggest one I could find.

Things like aloe plants and rubbery type plants, like jade. They store water in their petals, like cacti. here is a non-porn link

Duvet
 

No, but I do my own bedding. Even though they would do it. Partly because I feel the need to use the steamer de-wrinkler on the shams so that the look nice, partly they might put the duvet in crooked or something similarly horrifying, and partly because I'm a freak.

And I think my posts on this topic and the plants are boringer than GWNC's post on duvet vs. comforter, but probably not even close to my boringest posts ever.

Two things
 

Kinda like cacti - but no nasty needles. Most plants with thick fleshy leaves - aloe, ice plant, etc. They don't need frequent watering and some flower. I have some outside - they like light - not so good for the office.

I'm sure there are better ones - that was just from a quickie search and I have seen some realyl decent fake ones around. Orchids don't grow in "dirt" they grow in rocks and moss and stuff. I have one (not plastic) in my bathroom with no dirt - it is in a jar-like thing and the roots are just hanging free - the things grow up on top of trees in the wild, so they are not used to dirt. Oh - and the real ones don't like too much water - once every 2 weeks is probably fine.

Duvet
 

I get inside the whole thing, have my arms outstretched and do a little hoppy dance thing. Then I get out, shake the whole thing out, and thank god that the Displaced Dog doesn't know how to use the "video" function on my digital camera.

Nominations don't get seconded, assjack. I bet you're one of those poseurs who makes other gaffes like moving to adopt the treasurer's report, or saying shit like "I'd like to make a motion."

Duvet
 

psst..... turn your duvet cover inside out, set the seam of the cover along the edge of the duvet/comforter, grab the two corners and flip the inside out cover over the duvet. TADA! And if short wingspan is an issue you can double over the duvet and cover once you have the inside out seam on the end and then flip. Have a few beers and if anyone touches the bed with the fresh cover on it you should fuck them up royally. ;)

Shoot. Does this mean that my Eric Cartman "it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippie crap" T-shirt is now passe?

Speaking of T-shirts, I was at an Urban Outfitters while out of town on a depostion (uh, one of the boring kind of depos, I'm afraid) (plus, it's not as if I'd share the details of my torrid adultery with all of you people if it was really a "depo") (unless it involved eyeball licking or other purity-score lowering activities), and they have quite the selection of T-shirts circa 1979. The "gas, grass, or ass -- nobody rides for free" was tempting, but I settled for a Bad Company shirt (the one with the cannabis-leaf logo, natch).

This is how my mother insists on doing it, and she is wrong wrong wrong. As are you. No offense.

I would very much like to know how a discussion on demons having sex with women in anime became a discussion that has to be one of the most boring in the history of the FB, every version there is, was, and ever will be.


Not that I don't appreciate the conversation on the distinction between duvets, duvet covers, and the difficulty in cleaning and putting them back together.

Duvet
 

Dammit, ironing was the only household thing I did better than anyone else (or half-assedly well at all, for that matter), and now you've one-upped me on wrinkle-free anal retentiveness. Dammit!

I am in the market for a "Nuke Long Island". DId you see that one per chance?

Duvet
 

Never said it was right, just that it works and, at least for me, is easier than any other way I have tried in the past 20 or so years.

And, um, how can there be a "wrong" way to put on a duvet cover so long as the duvet ends up covered and not crooked? Don't tell me that there is a rule book for this shit as well.

No offense taken. Of course, it is funny that my "wrong" way works and everyone else seems to be struggling to cover their duvets while I am already done and watching the game with a few beers under my belt. :D

Duvet
 

You don't iron your sheets? :eek:

God fucking damn it, I am so off my game. I might as well start a Robert's Rules of Order sock and start phoning it in.

This is exactly what I make the GF do.* I'm too big to get in there. And it's too hot.

*Not really. But I've noticed that if I wash it, fold it and place it on the bed, she eventually gets frustrated enough after a week or so that she does it. And that last sentence just made me feel like Ray Romano. And I hate that show.

My apologies for the boring (but helpful) thread.

Now let's all talk about fucking.

Gangs
 

Am I to believe that nobody here knows anything about gangs? I just want to know what "female associates" have to do. From what I understand they are not part of the gang but are "friendly" with the gang because they "do favors" for the gang in exchange for protection.

No, I am not planning to join a gang. Unless being a female associate of my firm counts.

Duvet
 

By the time I post this, he will have corrected you, noting that "Atticus Grinch" is actually two words.

Duvet
 

That was your worst fucking post ever. What is happening to you?

Duvet
 

Jesus, there is such a thing? I give up completely.

I am hereby returning to my natural eternal slobness. You think those lame QESG straight guys can compare to my breathtaking disorderliness? Ha!

No. And it's not one that I was familiar with (maybe because Podunkville isn't terribly close to either East Egg or West Egg).

I was surprised that that they didn't have the "Disco Sucks!" one that was de rigueur at Podunkville High back in the day.

I think your pressure may be causing him to experience performance anxiety. Positive reinforcement.

I don't iron. Anything. Ever. I have an iron and an ironing board, but my mom's the only one who uses them. But the edges of the shams fold over on themselves with huge wrinkles and I really hate that, and it just gets worse and worse with time.

I am enjoying this thread, and if you don't like it, you can leave. :bye:.

Duvet
 

I can??? COOOL!

Duvet
 

Only until needed.


(the "you can leave" wasn't directed at pj in case she thought it was.)

Duvet
 

Oh, so I can only leave when you say so is that it?

Bitch.

Duvet
 

Basically, yes.

Now that I have helped lull everyone to sleep, my work is done. Therefore, you may return.

If this is gang-up-on-leagl-pedantic-time, I would like to point out something that has been bothering me for a while and in the interest of appearing normal, have kept it quiet, but I can hold it in no longer.
