How To Fold A Fitted Sheet -- Warning: I'm not a beauty queen and I've been resting since using my migraine meds so my hair is a mess, but you'll get the idea. It's not as hard as people think.

@catmomdo Thanks! I'm learning to overcome my reticence to having myself recorded. It's not been an easy path.

@Oma_Trisha @catmomdo
That's kind of how I fold them, but you left out the part where there's a balled up wet shirt in one corner and random socks in the others.

@EileenKCarpenter @catmomdo I wash my sheets and towels separately from my clothes. Yeah, I know. It's OCD.

@Oma_Trisha @catmomdo
Even if it's a full load of bed linens, those extra deep corners collect stuff. I've started giving them a go in the dryer by themselves, which doesn't take long to dry, then doing everything else together.

@EileenKCarpenter @catmomdo I wash sheets with sheets. I go through the dryer when it gets to the "cool down" stage and make sure nothing is stuck in the pockets. If so I adjust the time so everything gets fully dry.

@Oma_Trisha I thought youโ€™d link to someone elseโ€™s video. You are amazing, thank you ๐Ÿ˜

@SmokeyPasco @Merlin Thank you, but Lenny requires me to inform you he is a supervisor, not a helper. Cats. Don't. Work.

@Oma_Trisha @Merlin You are ๐Ÿ’ฏ correct, my mistake! ๐Ÿ˜†

@Oma_Trisha @Merlin These instructions were so helpful. Thanks for sharing!

Well I'll be...turns out I've been getting part of the way there and making do with a half done job.

@Oma_Trisha @Merlin And all this time Iโ€™ve been putting the sheet between my two arms and rolling them around each other until Iโ€™ve got a nice big ball of sheet!๐Ÿ˜‚

@Oma_Trisha @Merlin Yahoo! Someone else who knows how to fold a fitted sheet. I did a YouTube video on this a few years ago, but I don't use a table or bed.

High five to a fellow fitted sheet folder! ๐Ÿ™

@NaomiSkarzinski @Merlin I just used the bed because it was there. ๐Ÿ˜ I fold my towels in thirds, too. I'm anal like that.

@NaomiSkarzinski @Merlin I haven't had a friend in real life since 2017. Sometimes I really miss it, but covid has kind of tempered my longing for going to a movie or running to Awful House for breakfast.

@Oma_Trisha @NaomiSkarzinski @Merlin
There are an awful lot of people that have no friends IRL these days. After a certain age, itโ€™s hard to find places to go where the opportunities arise. And like you said, covid has changed everything. Thatโ€™s why so many people are on social media these days.

@kbresist @NaomiSkarzinski @Merlin

I've also discovered that as I age I'm less willing to put up with certain kinds of behavior just so I can be around other people. It's not worth the assault on my senses or psyche. I just want peace, contentment, and common ground.

@Oma_Trisha ๐Ÿ˜ still amazed that this (your helpful video for my frustration) keeps getting attention. Thank you ๐Ÿ’œ

@kbresist @NaomiSkarzinski

@Merlin it makes me smile every time I see it was favorited or boosted. I just did it on the fly to help you out. ๐Ÿ˜

@kbresist @NaomiSkarzinski

@Oma_Trisha @Merlin @kbresist That's when you know you've helped someone! All those people watching.

I have a one off video I did for my YouTube channel several years ago. It's one minute long. Has absolutely nothing to do with any of the other topics of my channel. It shows how to clean/fix a DVD or CD that won't play or has static issues.

To this day, day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, that is the video that is most watched.

Who knew! It also makes me smile.

@Oma_Trisha @Merlin I'm right up there with you. All my life I've been one to only have enough friends to count on one hand. Around 2017, life changed and I had to walk away from what friends I did have at the time. Then the pandemic, I stay home as much as I can. Most people I know do not wear masks.

I too miss going to the movies, but really getting use to being a semi-hermit.

@Oma_Trisha @Merlin
Yup, we agree on how to fold them. Since retiring I no longer do it. They go right back on the bed. No reason to fight with them twice!

Same for me. The only time mine are neatly folded is when they're in the package. Thanks for the tutorial but I fear I'll never master it. ๐Ÿ˜…

@Oma_Trisha

Brilliant! 16 and I were just searching for a YouTube video for this last weekend. Yours is far more user-friendly and, I think you're a doll to boot!!! ๐Ÿ’œ

@Merlin

@CajunBlueAZ1 @Merlin

Awwwww..... Thanks. I'm even cuter now that I've lost 30 lb. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

@gemswinc

I was going to make another video showing how to do this and then I got COVID. When I'm feeling better and it's safe for me to be around other human beings again, I'll have one of my grandkids to come in and record me doing this a different way. Maybe it will help.

@Oma_Trisha That would be great, thank you. In slo mo for the slow ๐Ÿ˜…

@Oma_Trisha @Merlin I feel like a "Ta Da!!" and applause is required at the end.๐Ÿ˜‚
