RE: Foil in dryer

I am so still intrigued by the thought of putting foil in the dryer. ?The thought?terrifies?me, in fact. ?Anyway I, of course, me being me had to google it. ?This is a funny mental picture.

COMMENTS:I have used balls of aluminum foil in my dryer, for many years. I just take a sheet of foil, and wad it up into a ball. A couple of them in the dryer does help with static cling. As the ball compacts after a few uses, I form more foil around the ball. This is not a perfect solution, but does reduce static. If I remove something from the dryer, that is snapping and popping, I keep slapping it against the washer or dryer until the static is mostly discharged. Then fold or hang the item, without getting too many pokes from static.

    "slapping" it up against the washer or dryer? LOL.

     That is a funny mental pic. And I am not surprised it came from a Michigander. We are kinda weird up here :o)

    Although I live in Texas now, maybe that explains my extreme normalcy ;)

    Oh! A transplant??

    I say weird, because the other day, it was 46 degrees, and my neighbor was outside washing his car in SHORTS and a T-SHIRT.

    yes, a sad transplant. Since you're still there, could you please do something about the job market so we can come back? 

    and LOL about the shorts and t-shirt. 46 degrees is BALMY don't you know? haha

    I guess I shouldn't mock it before I try it :o)

    And Rach, I would love to improve the market here. It's a buyers market for housing too, it's just a matter of finding a job.
