Laundry Symbols

These symbols are not clear to me.  I can guess at some but I'm not certain.  How about you? Here is a sort of "test" I set up: It's not finished! For me the written explanations are useful.  I can do without any symbols.  There is no way most of them can be interpreted, so why bother to print them?  (Sorry the chart would not fit without being too difficult to see.) I just realized the use for the symbols.  They are to save space on the clothing label.   I usually just throw the clothes in and turn on the switch so that's why I never thought of it. But then you'd still need a chart to interpret the symbols. Print a copy for yourself if you think it might help.

QWERTY vs DVORAK Keyboard

I never knew there was a different type of keyboard like DVORAK instead of QWERTY (named after the first six letters on the left of the first row) , at least not in English or similar languages.

Anyway the immune globulin injection takes all afternoon, about three hours but it feels like all day.  I try to not make any plans and just take it easy. Here's my equipment and three vials of immune globulin.  I used to get an IV dose at the hospital every six weeks but the doctor thinks this weekly dose at home will keep the blood levels more even and so work better. This way I can be free to move abo

Praying Mantis Calmly Watching Us

 It was not afraid.  It just seemed curious.  It watched our house being power washed all day.  Then it jumped on Lynette.

Nice Commercial

I saw this commercial the other day which got me thinking about TV commercials in general. Here's the nice quiet commercial that I saw. I believe this is some kind of investment company.  Why can't there be more commercials like this instead of screaming? The screaming just makes me want to stay away from anything they'er trying to sell.  I put the volume on mute and wait for it to end. Here's a cute commercial from the past: I suppose some people don't mind. The commercials must work or they wouldn't keep putting them on.
