I really need to work on my sheets. I have stored them like that for years, but they are not flat.

I really need to work on my sheets. I have stored them like that for years, but they are not flat.

Same here, my mom taught me years ago to do that as well as how to fold fitted sheets. However, it’s clear to me that they ironed the fitted sheet after laying it down, or else it’s a brand-new sheet!

Muffin tins -- I used those so much when my daughter was young for zillions of projects.

It's so nice when a beloved TUGger has an old thread reincarnated. It's almost like they're still with us. Thanks, Karen G

Beware - this is likely to be pearls of wisdom from a spammer.

Might be, but with no links, and a chance to revisit one of Karen G's threads, it was worth the chance.

They can't post links until they have a certain number of posts, so usually they post 4-5 fluff posts and then BAM.

I gave her a “like” on her post. Never too late to do so.

I always get suspicious when a new account resurrects an old thread, in this case 12 years old. The first thing I did was look at the profile. Doesn’t appear that they even own a timeshare. There is a link on their TUG about me profile to an Australian website for reviews about various things. So, you just may be correct. If not, welcome adrianasmith!
