how often do you wash bed linen?
depends.

if i want to impress a girl with a clean room ... and a clean bed ... then
every week.

if it's just me on my own (as it is most of my life ... sniff) then i can
sometimes go up to three months (i.e. a whole term, my parents force me to
change it when i go home/move back).

Subject: another tricky one
If someone finds that working out how often they wash their bed linen is
tricky then they should probably not be going to uni.

Or something.

i don't want to get into omaresque detail, but if you're sleeping alone you
don't need to very often. i probably do it about every couple of months,
maybe longer.

sleeping ins clean sheets is really nice though, so i wish i could be
bothered to do it every week or something.

perhaps i should get a maid.

I humbly withdraw my comment about it being made up.

Apparently, it is vulgar slang variant of jism, which is vulgar slang for
semen.

However, it originated in the nineteenth century so i ask you to withdraw
your comment about it being the "language of the kids"

Er, I don't see how that's relevant. I think the "sleeping alone" bit is the
relevant bit. Or are some people here really 12 year olds posing at 18-24
year olds, or even just very very disgusting?

True enough I suppose, but why not make the experience less yucky by not
having to sleep in sheets with several-week old sweat in them? And as
somebody said earlier, freshly washed sheets are nice.

Yeah, the *idea* of dust mites, etc, is kind of disgusting, but they
are a fact of life. What do you do? Seal yourself in a sterile capsule?

And when you consider that they are, after all, just the outward expression
of a bunch of replicating macromolecules -- JUST LIKE US! -- then what's so
icky and disgusting about them that you can't apply to our own existence?

Embrace the little guys and feel connected with your natural existence!

Sure, that'll work.

As long as you replace the mattress at the same time.

And your pillow.

And the carpet.

And sterilize every flat surface in the room.

Yeah, the *idea* of dust mites, etc, is kind of disgusting, but they
are a fact of life. What do you do? Seal yourself in a sterile capsule?
You take your sheets off and wash them.
Sure, that'll work.
As long as you replace the mattress at the same time.
And your pillow.
And the carpet.
And sterilize every flat surface in the room.

It's impossible to eradicate them, but you can reduce them. Like bacteria -
you do things like wash and disinfect to reduce them, but you'll never get
rid of them.

Dust mites and dead skin and lots of stuff

I'm very allergic to dust mites, so if you need to know if your house or bed
is really in a bad way, I'm the one to call.

I haven't washed my sheets for three weeks or something and...actually, I
have started sneezing lately, come to think of it. Usually I'd change my
sheets every fortnight, but I've become really lazy recently.

That is the least sexiest chat-up line I have ever heard.

Still wouldn't say "no", though...

You can imagine it though, you'd get her back to your room where you'd
not changed your sheets for a few weeks and the whole night would be ruined!

ok this is not a Porcella-style fuckage, my brain has frozen: "least
sexiest" or "least sexy"?

Well, it wasn't the sexiest.

Nor was it the second sexiest.

It wasn't even the third or fourth sexiest.

It was, after all, the least sexiest.


[That's how I justified it to myself, at least. A case could be made
for "least sexy" based on logic, too, if someone was really bothered.]

That just sounds weird to me, despite your little logic exercise :P
...Least sexy sounds better...I was expecting a more authoritative
answer :P

Throughout my long, long life, I've always relied upon a 'sense' for
my English, i.e. a sentence sounds 'wrong', or a word looks 'wrong'
etc..I never actually think about rules or grammar unless I have to be
formal...This of course can be attributed to reading and listening,
i.e. I've been shown what is 'right' and what is 'wrong' and now I
just pick it up automatically, but this happens when I've never heard
or seen a word or phrase before e.g. 'would that I could' etc. etc..Of
course THIS can be attributed to learning 'rules' and then applying
them, but I just like the way it seems to be intuitive, i.e. I never
actually have to *think* or whatever, I just 'know'...I'm no way
perfect, but pretty consistent...Though lately I seem to be forgetting
the spelling of words, and so they just look wrong but I can't sort
them...I reckon I've got vCJD, so cherish me whilst you can...

Robert me ole muckeroony, did you like the way I included wrong and
right etc. in inverted commas, just for you? :P

surely it's the sexiest or not, you can't have second, third or fourth
sexiest?

What are you trying to do, jess? Make me look second best, or something?
