Hi R
I thought that you may have a comment re this important psychological research.
'A Bigger and Better Mouse for Women.'
After years of research, scientists have discovered that women do not like the standard mouse supplied with PCs. There is no physical reason for their aversion; it is more of a psychological problem.
Some women reported that their mouse 'just didn't feel right' in their hands. Based on the research, a new mouse has been designed especially for women. Various field tests have been carried out on the new design:
Chantelle from Roodepoort said:-
'It feels so much better. More comfortable, more like how it's supposed to be.'
Wendy from Discovery added:-
'I think mice were originally designed just for men, but this new type
is definitely made for women. It fits right in with my lifestyle.'

Clara - ps - G sends out his ironing - would you believe to a guy - weell, we don't know who actually does the ironing but I don't.
pps - Clara's Smoothing Method - Clara does her ironing by hanging up the washing well in the first place, going 'Pat Pat and smoothing, doing up collar buttons etc" then, when it is dry, and ready to be 'ironed' ........the secret is to give it a quick hot spin in the dryer.
Don't put too much in at a time or it won't work for two reasons. Firstly, there needs to be a lot of hot air around to do the trick. Secondly, you can't fold everything at once so you only heat up what you can actually fold.
So - what to do now that a few garments have had about:-
- 5 minutes on high (works best with t shirts and jeans (but what else does anyone wear?)
- Take out a few at a time - ie as many as you can fold in a minute or two - we need to have the heat going in order for this to work. If you let the garment settle in a crumpled state this is how it will remain. The others can still be spinning around, in waiting. I am going to tell you how to do it one by one, but being experienced at this miracle I can place one garment on top of the other and 'iron' about 6 at a time.
- T- shirt - tops etc - Spread out the hot shirt upsidedown - using your hand as an iron, smooth the hot fabric, which will do exactly what an iron will do. Pull and fold to present as you wish. I prefer to place the garment on it's back and fold in the sleeves - then fold in half.
- Take the next one - do the same and place it on top of the first and press down - the heat and pressure will do all the work for you.
- So for jeans - much the same - take one pair at a time - place on a table, pat and smoooooth really firmly. Pretend your hands are a firm iron. Fold in half and lay flat, one pair on top of the other, then give an extra firm pat.

This is the view from my kitchen window. It shouldn't be a surprise to any of us, after all this is Wisconsin. But every time it happens, we all complain and groan and fuss, especially after having a few warm sunny days to tease us into thinking spring is finally here. Well spring is here, it's just not in the form we want it to be. We need to remind ourselves that spring is the transition between winter and summer. Words like blustery, drizzle, dank and hail should come to mind to keep us all in check. The good news is it has to get better. I checked back on this day one year ago thanks to my 365 Days of Design blog and this was my photo.
