Audio (MP3): 20190512 - The horror of the fitted sheet
These pillows and their corresponding cases and this sheet for fitting have all been resting comfortably on my bed in a laundry cocoon for the better part of the day.
Whenever I walk into the bedroom my heart plummets. And then I walk right back out of the bedroom.

What do they do in this place? I find it interesting that Pillow of Health isn’t on Google Maps while it’s duplex neighbor, AJR Filtration, is. Google, in its quest to capture all your data, surely should surely have geographical data by now. Maybe they’re not sharing to protect government secrets and citizen well being.
🤔
No, I didn’t google more than the map because I’d rather use my imagination than learn it’s all slave labor for Motel 6 pillows. Laboratory laundry techniques to get the ketchup and overnight drool out and off the pillow cases.
🤷♂️
Wait. Maybe it’s cornfield extraterrestrial pitstop because they’ve had a long cosmic drive and their little gray necks are sore. If only Mulder would’ve been located in mid-western Illinois this whole time and not the eastern Virginia.
🌽
Seriously. What kind of head-rest voodoo, sleep-cushion witchcraft goes on in there?
Occasionally I’ll see faceless figures in the evening having snacks and whatnots at the long folding tables. I want to turn onto their windy Rukel Way road, knock on the front window, mouth exaggeratedly, “are…you…guys…okay?”
I wager the windows to be sound proof thus my parking lot pantomime show. How could the glassware not be at a pillow factory?
🎭
I want a Pillow of Health, too. I imagine this pillow to be like a Potion of Healing. Where I wake up and all my hit points have been restored and broken limbs healed. Maybe I’ve gained +2 charisma.
Maybe it is more like a Bag of Holding pillow case where I could keep all my supplies after stocking up at the magic shop like Pee-wee did early in his Big Adventure. I’d squirt the mustard and throw it on the floor and everything.
💰
I always wanted to be Pee-wee when I got my own place. But I couldn’t wear his suit. I have the wrong hair.
Obviously I’ve gone off on a far fetched tangent now.
I should put on my Deckard trench coat, go there this week, and take more pictures. There’s a Walgreens on Main not far that I can get the digitals developed. Enhance 57 to 19. Track 45 left. Stop. Get a hard copy right there.

I see your profile pictures is all black. This leads me to believe that you work for the Pillow of Health’s shadow government.

You’re not supposed to mention pillow fight club. It’s part of the pillowspiracy.

Ordered it from there….it’s not a storefront.

My physical therapist told me if you go there during business hours the person in the front office will get a salesman from the back to sell you one.

Can I just mime? I don’t really like talking to people.
Learning Express Toy Store sells some of the pillows too.

I always wanted to be Pee Wee too. As it turns out, after having 3 kids in 5 years, I look and feel more like Large Marge. It was the worst wreck I’ve ever seen…

Is a pillow of health worth it? How much money? From the size of that building 300 bucks min

I’d like to know too; is my pillow NOT healthy?

Someone’s gotta pay for that landscaping
For each pillow purchased they donate a pillow to a child in the hospital. They are super soft and fun colors as well other factors. It’s a neat cause.

I have NO ANSWERS to your quandary, however, THANK YOU FOR THIS POST!🤣 Best luck in your quest for “head-rest voodoo”.

They are teamed up w/ Google to put microphones in your pillows so your pillow talk at night translates into ads custom to you the next day. Sweet dreams! “Honey! I got an ad for handcuffs on my phone!”

When I woke up this morning at 6:56 am I somberly smiled while thinking, “ah Saturday how I love you so.”
And then after I fully awoke I realized it’s Friday. I’ll still take Friday over Thursday though!

Patiently waiting for the UPS man to deliver my four new pillows.
He’s usually here by 4:45pm. I feel like I’m in a horror movie. I’ll probably be dead before he gets here.

This day in PiL history… April 9th 1981. PiL perform ‘Flowers of Romance’ on Top of the Pops.
I’m gonna have to spin up some PiL on iTunes now.

I have learned that bed linen laundry day is nothing short of a full cardio workout…for I am the lover of the duvet… It’s a wonderful concept that is deceiving…a simplistic idea that is nothing short of madness. The stuffing of SIX decorative pillow shams…pure torture.
Decorative pillow shams! The horror!

While you have the fitted sheet on the bed correctly, take a vibrant thread and needle. And stitch a little something on the corner or the elastic area. Pick one corner and do it to all the fitted sheets. Maybe pick a corner you will remember? It helps the sheets get done much faster, because I too have the same issue! Same with the USB things! I always pick the wrong end first
Patti66 · May 12, 2019 at 8:27 pm
I’m for quick- I use a permanent marker and put a “T” in the two top corners when the new sheets are on the bed.
Good idea! I get so frustrated!

Pretty photo though. =)
Thank you! Arranging pillows for a photoshoot is far more appealing that reverse engineering the Houdini escape straitjacket pillow case riddle.

If it helps, locate the tag on the fitted sheet (assuming there is one). Once you find out which orientation is correct, burn into your memory where the corner with the tag is, then always start with that corner.

I had never thought of marking the corner(s) of the fitted sheet but it is a brilliant plan!
I’m envisioning a pirate map of sorts with dashes leading to a treasure chest X. Ye map noting where there be sharks, and where there be safe havens, and where there be death.
And of where be ye fastest route to sailing the seas of fitted comfort.
I’ve attached a quick mockup that’s neither my bed nor my map, but you’ll get the idea. I’m a man not a cartographer.
