Got Anything Random To Say

I hate worrying too much.

We got him!

another thing to hate about my suburb: craptacular radio reception and the channels i do get are super boring or in formal arabic which i can't understand. i hate this place.

I wanna see the other two Richard Marx videos with different clues to who killed Mary. Where are they?

Someone sent me an email. It made me really depressed.

I love my fiance very much, hopefully he'll not find problem with this.

Ex's Facebook status changed to being in a relationship, it's always sort of strange when someone you had long-term plans with gets a new partner, weird too as I'm still friends with ex and not sure how it'll change dynamics. As I'm sure others on the spectrum understand, ex's friends always like the new partner more...because they don't come across as unfun, anti-social or ignorant...THIS always hurts.

I like the way that tea warms me up.

So I may have a GF for the first time, given how late I've entered the game, I hope she is the one, despite some people saying otherwise.

i was wondering whether i could wash pillows, and my search led me to a forum where i read a 4 page thread full of posts pertaining to washing pillows.
half way through the last page of the thread, i suddenly noticed that the post i was reading was 7 years old!! i frantically back-paged to the first page to find that the entire thread was more than 7 years old !

so i googled "up to date information about washing pillows" and got a mish mash of unrelated results, and of the few relevant results i inspected, i was careful to find the date the information was published before reading the content, and none of them had any date stamps on them.

i do not want to take the risk of ruining the pillows if i wash them, so i have decided to throw them away and get some new pillows tomorrow.

I too wonder if it's alright to wash pillows.

I'm sure it's fine to wash pillows if they have ordinary synthetic stuffing. I don't know if you can wash memory foam or feather pillows.

There should be a laundry tag on the pillow stating the washing and drying instructions.

DON'T!! ! I DID THAT ONCE AND IT SPLIT!! !!

Maybe just handwash it and only put it in the machine for the spin cycle, I dunno.

The spin cycle made it split, plus it didn't get it clean anyway.

Maybe someone could start a thread about this and we could get some indeph discussion on this subject...

i am more concerned about how to get them dry. i imagine a pillow would be difficult to dry. if the pillows are still damp when i want to go to bed, then i will have to resort to another 2 pillows (i sleep on 2 pillows) , but those pillows are bulky and soft and i have to look slightly upward (i lie on my sides) in order to breathe clean cold air. those pillows i reserve for tammy when she sleeps here.

i am sure they would take days to dry if i hung them out on the line becuase i live at an elevated altitude and it only reaches about 19 degrees celsius here at the moment during the day. i would not like mold spores to take root in my pillows before they dry. the only way i could dry them in an expeditious way would be to put them into the tumble dryer on "hot" for about 150 minutes. but i wonder whether their structural integrity could withstand the trauma of being flung "arse over head" 9000 times (assuming 60 rpm). would i wind up with a tumble dryer full of fluffy lint, or would my pillows stay intact ?

whatever be the case, the 2 pillows in question are no longer pearly white. they are cream colored now (i always use pillow slips), and i have slept on them about 250 times. they are the most comfortable pillows i ever had. there are very few attributes concerning pillow specifications that are written on the packaging that pillows come in.
there should be a firmness index, and a thickness index. i like relatively thin and firm pillows. i stack one thin firm pillow on top of the base pillow and that elevates my head to the angle that i like without suffocating me and forcing me to turn my head skyward.

one thing that makes me really want to wash them is that i like watching entire washing machine cycles from start to end. i occlude the "door closed" extrusion pin so that the washing machine performs all it's wash phases with the lid open.

i tend to double or even triple the amount of washing powder necessary for the load due to be washed, and i always choose "small" load for the first phase of thew wash. i believe that this concentrates the detergent and also increases the abrasion of each garment due to it's close proximity to another textile in the same wash bowl.

when the main cycle is finished and it is ready to go into the rinse and spin cycle, i set the wash load dial to large because i want the ........ aborted.

anyway, i would like to see what i think are cleanish pillows steep their underestimated yellowed discoloration into the washing machine water much like a tea bag stains a cup of recently boiling water.

i wish that there was a "pillow standard" that graded the various attributes of pillows and reported those grades on the packaging.
it is not practical to take the pillows out of their packages and lie on the floor of the supermarket to test the pillows.

You could also try soaking them in bleach or nappy san before you wash them.

A pillow washing thread, in indeph life discussions may be something to think about.
