I water down my Soy Sauce.... and other Domestic Trickery

Back when I still used dryer sheets, I’d cut them into thirds and that was still plenty big enough. I quit using them altogether because the wax clogs the dryer lint filter.

I HATE FedEx, but the checks seem to clear. Keeps him from… well, you all know what teen-aged boys do. Somewhat.

No such thing. Reduced sodium, i.e. less than regular soy sauce, but in no way is it ‘low’.

You are very right doc “Generally, low sodium soy sauce is soy sauce that has had about 40% of the salt removed after brewing. In other words, if a regular soy sauce has about 1000mg sodium per tablespoon, the low sodium stuff has about 600 mg.”

I stopped using them and can’t articulate why I ever did. If they were once important, they aren’t anymore.

I use dryer sheets only for towels.

I have a stash of used ones in the Jeep for picking up dog shit… Thankfully, since the puppy has grown, the Jeep has been a No Shit Zone, so I haven’t had to use any. They sit in a zip-lock right next to Beckda… never mind.

Heh. While I would associate the soy sauce and egg tricks more with what you’d do with a kid closer to 5 than 25, it might very well result in the son developing, relatively painlessly, a palate comfortable with less salt. That’s a nice health gift.

With regard to dryer sheets, I’ve always been mystified by them. The only reason I even know they exist is because of times in my life when I used shared laundry facilities. I have a very sensitive nose so I realize my experience is unusual, but omigod the odor of those things is vile. The closest I can come to describing the smell is the time about 5 decades ago when the camp nurse wafted smelling salts by me as I was feeling faint when she removed some stitches. A very nasty, prickly sensation.

I hope you’re kidding.

For the record, towels are exactly when you don’t want to use softeners of any kind, including dryer sheets. Coats the terry fibers so they aren’t as absorbent.

I’ve never used dryer sheets. I’ve actually forgotten what problem they’re supposed to solve. Whatever the problem is, I don’t seem to have it.

Static, IIRC.

Right there with you. But mostly i dislike that they make everything feel slimy.

How hard is it to separate socks, anyway?

Ditto.

ISTM the only problem they solve is a small lack of revenue for P&G and the other laundry products companies.

I get terrible static without them and I dislike it very much. I don’t use them on towels though.

Kroger was giving away boxes of dryer sheets for a while. Like a sore dick, free is hard to beat.

Honestly, by the time I get around to sorting my socks, there’s rarely any static left.

Your Sister sorts socks that suck!

Sorry. Wrong movie. And wrong quote.
