There was a time when things like bed making were a big part of nursing.
Things have changed a lot over the years. However, I can tell you that
they so sometimes make the beds. I spent some time in ICU a few years
ago and for several days they had me roll over to one side so they could
pull out the old sheet and put on a new one, and then had me roll the
other way to complete it. I had my own personal nurses there, so I am
quite sure that it was the nurses and not anyone else.

But those examples in no way relate to what she was saying. You might feel
threatened that the women would take your husband away or that the other
person would make a dessert better than yours.

How could a man, staying home in his own home, make other stay at home
people feel threatened?

LOL. Reminds me of a conversation I overheard during my stay in ICU. The
nurses used to congregate in front of my room at shift change and shoot
the breeze. One day one of the male nurses was really excited and just
bursting to tell everyone the news that he had just scored tickets to
Priscilla Queen of the Desert and he planned to take his girlfriend.
Really..... a male nurse who is that excited to see a musical about a
bunch of trannies on tour has a girlfriend????

Easy when those with small minds are the ones feeling threatened. They
may be afraid he will show them up.

You must have done an excellent job because that is one right that he
has certainly exercised.

Yes, it still holds true in ICU's, but had you not been able to roll
yourself over, it would have been nursing assistants called in to help. It
would be a rare exception though for a nurse to change the linens in a
standard inpatient room.

I learned those when, as a teenager, I was in hospital for a couple of

That must be a recent affectation. From WWII through at least 1990, they
were called "hospital corners" in the US Army.

Most NCOs wouldn't have a clue what "miter" (or "mitre") means.

I'm actually going to have to Google this. I've heard of them but
I really have no idea what is up with the tight bed making.

I did hear or read once that a properly made bed (in the USMC, I
think),
you should be able to bounce a quarter off of it.

LOL! I should take a pic of my bed right now. It's scruffy as hell
and I don't care to make it each morning. I'll just mess it up later
tonight. This is where living alone shines. I don't waste my time
making my bed each morning. I'd rather waste it here in RFC. hehehh

You should use a duvet. Just shake it, let it settle on the bed, and
now you're ready for company.

Shipboard bunks were known as racks, there were no corners, matress
covers were known as fart sacks.

Take a pic of yourself standing over your kitchen sink eating Chef Boyardee
out of a can so there are no dishes to wash while you're at it. ;-)

Arrgh! Is there a kitchen cam here that I don't know about?
Back in my early single days, my 20's, I would sometimes do
just that. That canned pasta is actually better eaten cold.
If you heat it up, it gets thin and runny.

I know someone that uses paper plates at home often.
Oops! Hi Sheldon! :-D

LOL, I never really could stand that stuff as a kid, but dh still likes it
to this day and will have a can now and then for lunch. I've never lived by
myself so dunno if I would make the bed everyday or not, but it's pretty
ingrained in me, so probably would.

My wife used to "make" the bed every day. Now it is just straighten the
blanket a bit. No need to make it look pretty.

Even just a quick fix does make the room look better.
In my case though - why bother? I'm the only one that will
see it. I'm still used to the ferret situation too.
For years she liked to stay on the bed most times.
She liked it all scruffy and messy. Lots of places to
climb underneath and sleep. I have a "ferret" bed. heheheh

I will make it up tomorrow morning though. I've got my
daughter and 2 grandchildren coming and also my stepdaughter
that lives in the bay area... the sf bay area.
Her visits are rare from that far away.

I don't care what mu credit rating is. I aspire never to use credit again!! Except as I use my Discover card, like a "deadbeat"!

I have duvets on all the beds in the house, so not much to making them at
all.

They say you should let your bed air out, even if you're
just sleeping, you sweat.

I reckon) Are duvets not common in US then? I've had them for many, many
years!

They are and they aren't. They might be used the European way by some
in the younger set. My kids don't though. They use theirs like we
use ours - as a bedspread/warm blanket to sleep under with a sheet
between us and the duvet.

I meant the smart people are you and I. Yes, they're very popular here. I
make my duvet covers out of really nice sheets and sleep European style with
the cover taking the place of the top sheet.

We have always done the European way. I make the covers out of sheets and
tie the top corners with ribbon, leaving the bottom open for easy on and
off.
