And I like to make my bed so you can bounce a dime off it! Oh well...

Eyew.

This may explain why nobody in my house has asthma

Well, I disprove that theory. I don’t make my bed and I have health problems. (SNORT)

my friend’s mother used to tell her, “prostitutes have unmade beds,” whenever my friend hadn’t yet made her bed...

Maybe you were right all along ping.

I have a theory that if I keep a messy bedroom, aliens won’t abduct me.

What about couches? I sleep more on the couch than my bed.

I’ve not taken off the original plastic that covers both the box spring and mattress of my set. Does that keep dust mites off the mattress?

[Fresh Wind]

My bed was made at the factory. Why should I make it again?

This is one of those things I like to stay in denial about. Kind of the way I never, never mentally connect shrink wrapped meat at the grocery store to four legged animals.

And I like to make my bed so you can bounce a dime off it! Oh well...

It might not be bouncing. It might be the dust mites throwing it back at you!

When I was growing up the used beds in the house were made up open hospital style to air during the day. They were neat and clean.

Professor Andrew Wardlaw, of the British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology...said... "It is true that mites need humid conditions to thrive and cannot survive in very dry (desert like) conditions. "However, most homes in the UK are sufficiently humid for the mites to do well and I find it hard to believe that simply not making your bed would have any impact on the overall humidity."

I am mighty inclined to agree.

correlation and causation are different words.

I hate to make my bed. I got spoiled by living in Europe and using a big feather comforter just laid over the mattress with one sheet on top. In the morning, many people opened the windows and put the comforters to sort of hang outside a bit (sun and fresh air) for an hour or so while otherwise tidying up.
