My grandmother used to iron sheets, too – she said it was because if you didn’t iron them, the dust mites would survive (this was before the days of automatic dryers).

Even after she got a dryer, though, she ironed them anyway, partly (I think) because she liked the feel of them, and partly because she’d done it all her life. And she was from Wisconsin, so indulge (or not) in whatever makes you feel special and cared for!! :)

K.C., which stands (appropriately) for Kitty Cat. He was my sweetheart, and when, at the age of 21, I had to deal with his sickness and eventual death, I tried to be strong, but instead drenched my pillow with tears. So I am sorry for your loss. Our pets are our family. That's for sure.</p><br /><br /><p>And as for the laundry: I get a keen picture in my head of your apartment draped in drying garments. I have also done this (being very anti-drying as well). It came in handy with the cable guy one day when I needed a repair. He walked into my undergarment-laden apartment and stared quite frequently at all the lacey things I had strewn across my chairs, counters, and lampshades (yes, lampshades). He then promptly gave me HBO. For free.</p> For me it was not a dog but a cat. K.C., which stands (appropriately) for Kitty Cat.
