I asked DH and he said he doesn't think it's a big deal to just take his clean clothes because they probably won't have a strong laundry scent. I decided that this trip to the doctor costs too much for him to be turned away for a detergent smell.

Yeah I'd just get a little bottle of like, Target brand free & clear just to have nothing to worry about.

I am always questioning myself with my love of fragrances in all our household stuff, but OMG my clothes smell amazing with Gain Apple Mango Tango haha. Ugh. It's just so fresh.

When I have the energy, I make this detergent. It is wonderful. Otherwise I get the no scent everything because of sensitive skin. I miss the downey sheets, though.

Guys our randoms thread is close to the length of Parentings randoms. This never happens.

[wannabmama]

I've watched about seven hours of ID network today.
Also...I grew up in a scent free household and just kept with it until I met H...he loves all the smells, it's a whole new world for me.

[icedtea]

wannabmama, I had to google ID network. I feel like I would assume all of my neighbors were serial killers if I watched it. Though, to be fair, I do that already...

I watch it pretty much any time H isn't watching tv with me...sometimes it definitely gives me weird dreams.

[nuggetrn]

We are working on doing this in our pantry right now. Ours is basically the same exact size as hers. I am excited!!

I use Arm & Hammer Sensitive Skin or Unscented.
For dryer sheets I used the Bounce Free & Clear, but I avoid them when drying my underwear.

ETA: The past few months at my MIL's we've been stuck using ALL free and clear, and I can totally tell the difference.

I could sit all day watching ID Network, Snapped, Forensic Files, allllll that good stuff.

[gabride2010]

I want to know why Snapped isn't on Hulu, Netflix, or Prime?!? I love crime/forensics shows, and I have searched all over for Snapped.

ETA: nuggetrn That pantry is amazing! I love the spacing of the shelves too.

DH always makes mention he misses Downey sheets. I, however, do not miss scratching the hell out of my skin. Sensitive skin for the win!

I’m here, just getting a very late start. That nap on my lunch break messed me up yesterday so of course I couldn’t sleep last night.
Enjoy your pedicure,bex15. I really need to redo the polish on my toes. Maybe I'll do that today.

mikaela20, you win the amazing wife award today. Those empanadas sound delicious!
requiressnacks, I love the colors you’ve picked out for the kitchen!
BurritosAtEveryMeal, good luck with the move today!
Happy Birthday, cjchio!
Congrats on leveling-up, icedtea!
Nicely done on the run, jubilantsquirrel!

[PirateCat]

@neggetrn need more room for wine.

[icedtea]

nuggetrn, I covet that pantry.

[shopgirl24]

I really need to get moving today. But I started watching Grimm from the beginning last night and well, I just really don't want to do anything today. Eventually, I have to be up at my grandparents for dinner to celebrate my brother's birthday.

Actually, I think the last time that I drink was at a TCF Cincinnati get together.

Girl you probably don't remember me, but I was at that gtg. Did you move away? I'm just starting to hang on this board now.

I use ALL free and clear detergent but use Downey liquid softener. I have fairly sensitive skin, (allergic to a lot of perfumes and soaps) but this combo doesn't bother me. I've been using it for years too.

I am less rashy with the arm &hammer. Any scent at all and I can't stop itching.

W is your husband having issues related to the scents? Or is this just an across the board... No scents because of his illness?

I would ask your husband what he thinks.... If he wants all his clothes washed now or if he wants to just start washing them in no scent detergent going forward from here.

across the board. Scents don't bother him. The doctor I guess has done research and linked scents to cancer and other diseases so he has a strict policy.


I asked DH and he said he doesn't think it's a big deal to just take his clean clothes because they probably won't have a strong laundry scent. I decided that this trip to the doctor costs too much for him to be turned away for a detergent smell.

You can wash them using white vinegar. It gets your clothes super clean and leaves behind no scent. It works great on moldy towels too.

[ohinvrtedworld]

I wish there were a Beauty board on TCF to consolidate all my lurking to one place. I'm deeply fascinated by the hair extensions thread on Parenting. I have long but thin hair, I feel like extensions would be awesome.

I don't think I've tried the A&H brand. I tend to stick with something until it stops working. If it's not broke, don't fix it, at least for me.

I'm running for some supplies right now... But when I get back I will take a picture for you of where all my wine will go

icedtea I gave up a bunch of counter space for this pantry!! I am like 99% sure it was worth it at this point but sometimes I still worry. I can't wait to fill it up

[icedtea]

nuggetrn, if we were staying in this house we were going to redo the kitchen and sacrifice counter space for a pantry too. I'm sure it'll be worth it!

I just heard one of the guys upstairs say "I messed up on it." I wish I couldn't hear them.

I used All for years. Arm and Hammer was on sale one day, so I said why not.

I miss my pantry. I have to figure out a way to set one up in the coat closet in our new place.

[hydrangea1019]

Yaaaaay I convinced DH starting the washer switch around tonight would be a bad idea... Let the laziness continue!

[hydrangea1019]

shopgirl24 and icedtea I LOVE Grimm! But I fell off a while back (I remember exactly where I stopped) and I just haven't been able to catch up. I recently saw like 5 min the other day of when it was on and I was so bummed at what I saw

[nuggetrn]

So I ran to get us food and the right size hooks to hang shelves. I am in DH's truck and this is the first time I have ever been through the drive thru in it. I AM SO TALL!!

A whole new world has just opened up to me. Lol. It feels so weird.

That doesn't sound concerning at all!!

[wannabmama]

nuggetrn I have an suv and last night I was driving H's car and I had your opposite experience...I felt so short!!
