Coming back for more!

Yet another weekend by the wayside, and not an altogether bad one at that. In fact, a pretty good one, aside from discovering yesterday afternoon a basketful of blue jeans that had not been dried, and a dryer full of permanent press that had been dried Saturday. Funny thing about that wrinkle-free permapress stuff--you leave it in the dryer with a bunch of other permapress clothing, and it manages to get pretty darned wrinkled. And the wrinkles don't want to leave, either--it's permawrinkled.

Anyway, it's staff meeting time right now, so let me go do that, and THEN I will come back and bore you to tears in just a little while with all sorts of luridly bland tales of suburbia.

I've found that most of the wrinkles come out if I put the stuff back in the dryer with a wet, wrung out wash cloth for 20 minutes.

I did something similar--there were also three other permapress pieces that were still wet in the basket, so I put them in there and turned it on again. Not as bad as it could have been, I suppose, but still noticeably unflat.

Well my philosphy is that after half a day of wearing them they all look a bit wrinkled.

Odd--I find that after a couple days' wear, they look much better. Although I do try not to sleep in them, even if it would make it quicker to get ready in the morning.
