Mary H Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I change my sheets about every month or so. My dh wants me to change them more. I was trying to find out who changed them every week or so, or if they were like me. I hope I didn't offend anybody with this poll.:o Mary H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisabeth in IL Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I couldn't find the pole but I change my sheets every 2 to 3 weeks. I'd like to change them more often because I'm told that is the thing to do but I don't have the time...... 5 beds makes a lot of laundry plus everything else. :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenKitty Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I thought it was fine? No prob here....Just made me notice how often I change them and how I could be changing them much less and still live to talk about it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy in NH Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 No offense, Mary, but if DH wants them changed more, he should change them more. That's my $.02. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristineIN Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Please don't take this the wrong way, I just wanted to point out that it's poll, not pole. Every time I see it I want to correct it.

KristineIN Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I can tell your a great teacher!!! mary H Ha, I've come a long way from my youth Mary! I grew up in small town and dh gently corrected me of some of my bad habits. Spell checker works really well too, but it doesn't help us with those homophones. (heck, I can't even keep those straight, homophones, synonyms!) ;) Kristine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy in NH Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Thanks, Kristine! That was bothering me, too. DH gets offended if I (or.... the kids!) try to correct him when he is obviously wrong. Go figure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
