During my childhood the prevailing wisdom was that after you ate some blood 'might' get diverted to your gut making it harder to digest food. With the blood being diverted from your arms and legs you 'might' fatigue and drown. Though that myth was eventually debunked, I did live my childhood by that rule.
To turn a collar means to literally unpick the stitching holding the collar in place until it is completely separated from the garmet. Then you just flip it over, slip it into the opening and restitch. Now the worn part is neatly hidden underneath and the butter part is good-as-new.
Can you take a task from today and follow the rabbit trail of memories, merging seemingly unrelated events together?
This is a comment left by Joyce (I cannot respond to comments on blog). I do use the dishwasher, but appreciate the comment about blind and 'seeing' with your hands.
I wash all my dishes by hand. Have had a few dishwashers in houses I have lived in but seldom used them. Things always got turned around and filled with water, gunk never came off perfectly. So why bother? And there are mother's words: "you must wash dishes as if you are blind. Feel with your fingers to make sure that all the food is off." I do and that's how I know all my dishes are perfectly clean.
