    Wanted to "quote" your post, Yooly, but MFP wouldn't let me.

    So pretend I'm quoting Yooly here :)
    Does it make a difference if you miss the end of the cycle? Either turn the dryer back on for a few minutes to warm things up a bit - or just fold as is. No more potential wrinkles than the load as is into the laundry basket method. Or don't fold at all if that doesn't give you satisfaction :) You have bigger fish to fry! You have us to tend to :) 💖 I appreciate your sacrifice.

    I was trying to quote PAV but MFP denied permission. Perhaps some new frustration?

    Ok, now i want to wad and stick it overflowing into the drawers!

    I can hear grams now! She rolled up and stored pillowcases in fridge, then each day, pulled a set, sprinkled and ironed for a fresh crisp set... they did smell and feel great!!

    In some parts (the southern US), another word for underwear is “drawers”….. 😂. Forgive me for conjuring up this euphemism when I read about PAVs drawer dilemmas.

    Plenty of older Brits still refer to their undies as 'drawers'…

    The euphemisms and connotations are purely accidental-ish-ish 😇😎

    emergency alert! Food had made it into my Swan painting 😂


    Thank goodness they’re at least a healthy food.

    You know things have gone completely mad once there’s a loaf of sourdough bread in the other corner.

    Did the swans forget their "don't feed the birds" sign?

    What’s up with the quote button? I’m getting some weird pink permissions denied bar. And how come suddenly the first letter of a posting is lower case? Got to back up and upper case it.
    is it just me?

    They've "ducked" up… I mean "upgraded" everything again.

    It's not you.

  • PAV8888

    I mean kittened up — with "great" improvements such as changing the editor to this wonderful one where you can't edit a quote to size and only refer to the parts of things you want to keep. And you can't attach pictures and all that.

    Posting a random pic to try it - hit the camera icon at bottom of post box.

    This is how I froze the local kiwi given to me last fall. It has thick fuzzy skin so I peeled/scooped them out.

    Yooly, there is a message at the top of the Community page about the new forum editor. Quoting is kinda useless now, even if it doesn't ask for permission.

    I get capital letters, but often it doubles them! And I don't like the automatic double spacing when you hit return…

    Believe it or not BC - those fuzzy skins are edible! Hubby treats them like the fuzzy skin on peaches. Me not so much. Can’t get past the fur so I scoop them like you do.

  • lauriekallis

    No quoting. No fuzzy peach or kiwi skin :)
    What do you do with the frozen kiwi, BC? I'm not sure I'll ever use them in bulk because they are usually just too pricey - but if it is something fun I'll give it a go :)

    Ugh. My camera icon opens a list of pictures.... that then do not post!!!!😞😞😞

    Are using Android or iPhone @BCLadybug888 ?

  • PAV8888

    I did NOT know about the scoop the kiwi method! 🤯🤯🤯

  • yakkystuff
    yakkystuff Posts: 354 Member

    I did not know kiwi fur is edible, will try it ignomiously mixed in something. Love the freezer tray idea. Better than laying out on a tray for freezing b4 ziplocking.

    Editor, changes driving me nuts too. Pic images to select too minute, then not accepted. Can't snip quotes. What happened to bold? Pages time out. Wish they would restore old, go work on it and try again later... lol, or not.

    Android.

    I eat bought kiwis skin on when they are the thinner skinned kind, these local ones have thick, thick prickly skins. You can rub most of the fur off, but the skin still pretty thick.

    I mostly use them in smoothies. My brother has gardening authority over a tree at his in-laws that produces abundantly!

    Plus I get to use my grapefruit spoons when scooping - I love my grapefruit spoons! 🥰

    I do not eat whole peaches, because of the fuzz, but buy nectarines instead 😉

    “I do not eat whole peaches, because of the fuzz, but buy nectarines instead”

    Yup - me too. Can’t do the furry stuff. It’s like gnawing on hair! So peeled kiwis and nectarines for me.
    And grapefruit spoons! I thought I was the last person alive who owned grapefruit spoons. Handy little gizmos!

  • lauriekallis

    oh my goodness I had forgotten about grapefruit spoons! That would be so useful 🙂

    I’m wanting to go order it from Amazon… but not supposed to be using Amazon because of all this crazy political nonsense … can’t wait for all this to be behind us so I can drink bourbon and shop on Amazon … like a normal person 😁

    ”oh my goodness I had forgotten about grapefruit spoons! That would be so useful 🙂”

    Well Laurie you might try thrift shops? I’m sure someone has donated grandma’s spoons not knowing what they are.

    I’m also hoping (🙏) for some return to sanity. I wonder how welcome I’ll be in Canada this fall when we take our trip? Can’t fault the deserved hostility. Who could have even imagined this craziness!!! At this point it seems like it will only get worse….. I’m appalled.😱

  • yakkystuff
    yakkystuff Posts: 354 Member

    Think grams had a grapefruit knife as well. Most mornings with soft boiled eggs she whacked top off and dunked her toast in. I had other stuff - cereal likely. Lol

    I can't imagine and hope the hostility is not with the people... always loved everything Canada...

    There are always overzealous yahoos possible, but I think the majority of Canadians are mad at Trump (and Elon!) vs ordinary folk. Can always wear a bumpersticker on your jacket that says I stand with Canada or some such sentiment - goodness sakes what a mess 😘

    Grapefruit spoons are also great for taking tops off of strawberries! I vote for thrift stores too Laurie.
