File Under: Weird Things That Work

A loosely crumpled ball of aluminum foil can be used (repeatedly) in the dryer in place of a dryer sheet in keeping clothes from getting staticky.

I have just tried this. It works. Even on flannel pajamas and socks. Bizarre. mk

Foil balls are a good way to blow up your microwave also. Not that I've ever left it in longer than the time it took to see the first spark. mk; 7/3/11, 10:34 AM

DISCLAIMER:

Everything here is just my opinion. I am not an expert in anything except being me. I link where I can, but I make no promises that links will work forever and still go to the place I originally planned.

Topics I discuss are of interest to me, but do not necessarily mean anyone in my life is directly affected by it, so please don't jump to conclusions.

Something that works for me or someone I know wouldn't necessarily work for you. If you don't like what I say, don't flame me. If you like it, or if something might help, take what you can, ignore the rest. Oh, and please don't steal my stuff. mk

P.S. I love discussion and questions, and will respect your opinion, as long as it is not derogatory or disrespectful. I reserve the right to delete any comments that piss me off, which include (but are not limited to) bots & trolls.
