Pickles by Brian Crane for October 01, 2019

A week old sheet is not as comfy as a newly washed one, it just does not sleep the same, and it smells.

way to go, Opal, making Earl think of something similar

If he has had a t-shirt on for a week he probably can’t notice the smell .

Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear, the 1950s, when women would tease their hair up into elaborate beehive do’s and then not wash it for months on end.

I do not think Earl is very style conscious!

Remember Opal you are in bed with Earl….Now you also get a Yuck ;-)

Earl’s gone nose blind…(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jQvAtmosdQ)

It depends on the fabric softener. A lot of them give me headaches until the smell wears off. That being said, I will often wear a shirt for a couple days if I’m slumming around the house or something, but a week would definitely be too much for me.

Okay, I have to admit to some apprehension here. . .this isn’t going to turn into an orgy of “smelly” habits, is it?

There’s nothing that can compare to the sheets hug on a line to dry….kissed by the wind and the sun…..but not in this household…..

It’s how one knows it’s yours.

I change my T-shirt everytime I take a shower. It’s that way I remember to change my T-shirt once a week. ;-)

When you wear pajamas it’s hard to tell what the sheets feel like.. Sleep as God intended and you will.. feel the difference.. with benefits as well

Don’t even ask about his underwear…

Back to dismissiveness and insults! Pickles has been “made great again”, evidently.

Nightly baths keep stinky sheets at bay…love my Japanese style soaker tub!

Even if they don’t smell, by the end of the week, the sheets are all wrinkly and don’t smooth out very easily. Fresh sheets are much better.

During hot weather I use two a week. I hang one up for a day before I use it to dry out.

Most well to do women in the 50s had a weekly standing appointment at the salon for a wash and set.

I can’t tell much difference either. But I happen to know that we all shed quite a bit during the night and even if I can’t see ’em, there are zillions of skin cells … and the mites that live on them … on sheets after several days.
