Remedial Adulthood: How to sew on a button
http://remedialadulthood.blogspot.com/2013/04/how-to-sew-on-button.html
Why you need this blog. Saturday, April 13, 2013. How to sew on a button. I'm not a sewing expert. Nonetheless, just as everyone who eats needs some basic cooking skills. Everyone who isn't a nudist needs to master some simple skills in mending clothes. And here's the most common fix: sewing on a button that's come loose. I know - how hard can it be to sew on a button? But as with so many other tasks, there's a right way and a wrong way to get it done. A few minutes' time. And the idea of mismatched butt...

Remedial Adulthood: When and how to wash your hands
http://remedialadulthood.blogspot.com/2012/10/when-and-how-to-wash-your-hands.html
Why you need this blog. Saturday, October 20, 2012. When and how to wash your hands. Honestly, I wish I didn't have to address this issue. But based on the sheer number of people I've observed walking straight from the toilet stall to the restroom door without even glancing at the sink, this has to be said. When do you need to wash your hands? Do you wash your hands? A clean running water source. A towel or other drying device, such as a hand dryer. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Wish I Were Here.

Remedial Adulthood: How to take a bath
http://remedialadulthood.blogspot.com/2012/10/how-to-take-bath.html
Why you need this blog. Thursday, October 18, 2012. How to take a bath. As my great-grandmother, a wise woman, used to say, "You're never too poor to afford soap and water." Bathing is a daily ritual. Geeks, nerds, gamers and techies, I'm looking especially. Hard at you. You folks tend to be unusually intelligent, so I can't understand why many of you reek like rotting poultry. You want to win friends and influence people? Take a freaking bath! So here's how you do it. A bathtub with a drain stopper.

Confessions of a Laundry Faerie: Unseen (part 1)
http://laundryfaerie.blogspot.com/2011/02/unseen.html
Sunday, February 13, 2011. Just a little scrap of fiction; I've been hanging onto this one for a while. I can continue if there's any interest in the story.). Of course, it's just as well for me that the mass of people live this way. If they saw everything, they'd also see me. And I've taken some pains to make sure people never do - or at least, if they do, that they don't remember afterward. Simplicity, not curiosity, is the key to a harmonious existence.

Confessions of a Laundry Faerie: Choosing to believe
http://laundryfaerie.blogspot.com/2015/07/choosing-to-believe.html
Friday, July 17, 2015. Shall I tell you about a time when I almost died? And then, the moment I put my foot up on the log, I got one of those feelings. So this is how I'm going to die. I didn't expect it - the realization of impending death - to be so mundanely calm and factual, as in Oh, it's 10:15 already. Or We're all out of milk. Or Here's the bus. This is why I say that faith is a matter of choosing to believe. I can't prove that there is a God, or that we are His children, or that He hears and ...

Confessions of a Laundry Faerie: Fitting your tree
http://laundryfaerie.blogspot.com/2015/07/fitting-your-tree.html
Saturday, July 11, 2015. ROBABLY right to the end of my days, I'm going to argue that J.M. Barrie was one of the most consistently underrated authors of the 20th century. One vignette from Peter Pan. Wendy and Michael fitted their trees at the first try, but John had to be altered a little. Chapter 7, "The Home Under the Ground". Have you ever bought a dress you never wore? Not because you regretted buying it - but because you deliberately bought it a size too small as a "carrot" to entice you to lose we...

Confessions of a Laundry Faerie: Accountability
http://laundryfaerie.blogspot.com/2015/08/accountability.html
Saturday, August 08, 2015. IME to admit what some of you have already guessed: I have not been taking care of myself. So why am I telling you this? Because I've realized that I'm the kind of person whose behavior improves more consistently when I'm held to account for my actions. Putting this information out there, even if - no, scratch that - especially. While I could wait to make changes on some particular future day, I think that's probably just the procrastination talking. So today I'm counting c...
