I've found that with a king sized mattress the dimension is close enough to a square, that the fitted sheet fits well enough that it doesn't matter the orientation.
i don't know why they didn't just decide on an actual square when they were establishing bed sizes...

MANHOLE COVERS ARE ROUND.

WHY?

If Luna was a furry, she'd sex humans and scream "BEASTIALITY!" at the top of her lungs at inopportune times.

I like the Luna one. She is a good one.

This video has an amazingly fast and easy way to fold a fitted sheet.

In homemaker terms, it's borderline genius.

I do that. I call it "The pokey thing."

Doesn't come out so great 100% of the time when you're 5'2".

we own an iron.
it's a lonely, lonely device...

I recently discovered that I own an iron. It's in the basement, and I vaguely remember buying it about 20 years ago.

I've gone through maybe 9 or 11 irons in my lifetime. Wore 'em plum out or threw em out because they were infected with the starch crusties.

Former military...shirts (including my kid's) look "jacked up" if they're not pressed and starched.

And because they're easier to drop back into place ensuring no twisting-lift movements (an OSHA cardinal sin) on behalf of the worker.

A job interviewer fancied himself the next Bill Gates and asked me this question in 2000.

I got the job.

What is this called, this grammatical structure? I've seen it twice today... I always find myself starting to do this and then going back and fixing it. I KNOW it has a name.
