I got the folding part but I did not understand one work she said!

:wah: But it didn't make a pretty crane!

Wow ! That was good. I never could fold a shirt either. I was in a mens store and saw how they do it, they cheat. They use a plastic form. Ill try this thingy in the video though.

That reminded me of folding my Granddaughter's new pup tent. Pull Left corner to right corner, & all of a sudden it forms itself into a perfect 3ft diameter circle, by 1 inch thick!

I get the sheets with the elastic, I can't fold hospital corners very well.

Oh hospital corners!

I do that. Learned at a young age from my mom.:-4

Ha-I had to learn embroidery from my great-grandmother, and remember many an afternoon pulling out the misplaced stitches................:p

Chons, those childhood memories increase in value as we age, don't they?

I have wonderful memories of growing up. I'm one of the lucky ones who grew up in a functional family. I naively thought everyone grew up that way.

When I got older, I truly appreciated how blessed I was.

And how blessed I am now.:-6

Yes, we were lucky.

And we have nice memories of these things.

We wish that for all the young ones today too.

I always thought we were functional, my mother functioned alot in the kitchen to feed 6 kids!:wah:

I can't, for the life of me, fold a fitted sheet correctly. I end up getting frustrated, rolling it up, and stuffing it in the linen closet.

:-3 Ah. So. Let me get this straight..

Oh how I envy you cher, you grew up in "functional" family! That's something I never had the privledge of & or was lucky enough to ever have when I was growing up. Till today, there's no harmony with my Family. Tis a shame! :wah:

Luckily for me I now have my own family, that's Loving, caring, kind & thoughtful!

(The way things ought be)

Cars, my mom and dad both grew up in dysfunctional families. My dad had a falling out with his only brother and didn't talk to him for years on end. My mom had a 'black sheep' brother and pretty much cut him out of her life (deservedly so, I must add).

So my brother, sister and I never had any aunts, uncles or cousins to be close to. We really missed that a lot.

When we were growing up, Susie, Rich, and I (the three siblings) often said to each other, "When we grow up and have children, we know they will be close and truly know the joy of cousins and Aunties and Uncles.

And you know, that is exactly what has happened.

So, Cars, how nice that you were able to break that pattern and have the closeness and love in your family life. It's the greatest gift of all, isn't it?

Thanks alot Arnold!



I called my beloved in to see this cool video

We pulled out a couple of t-shirts to figure the trick out

I caught on pretty quickly; she didn't

Naturally, I intoned the traditional mantra "Nana nana naaanaaaa!"













Guess who's responsible for folding shirts now. :-5
