16 May 03 - 05:51 PM (#954052) Subject: BS: Kitchen towel exchange From: Mary in Kentucky My daughter says this is not a "chain letter type" thing, but I think it is. Anyway, I'm participating because I personally know the person I'm sending a towel to, and I told my daughter I wouldn't break the chain. Here's the deal: you mail one kitchen towel to one person...but you send a copy of the letter to six people. If anyone is interested, send me a PM. |

16 May 03 - 06:10 PM (#954063) Subject: RE: BS: Kitchen towel exchange From: NicoleC My granny loves these. She sent it to me, once, so I bought her a cute towel but didn't pass it on ;) PG, you don't bake, do you? Need lotsa towels for that... In theory you get 6 towels, depending on the details of the particulr chain. But I have a LOT of cloth dishtowels and napkins -- mostly homemade from fabric remnants -- I use them in lieu of paper products. Why spend gobs of money to throw away paper when the real stuff works better and is reusable for years? |

16 May 03 - 11:02 PM (#954190) Subject: RE: BS: Kitchen towel exchange From: Stilly River Sage I have a wonderful batch of towels in my kitchen. Most are cotton, some are very old linen. Lots of different purchases or inheritances, so there are few that match. I use dish towels and wash cloths all of the time, rarely using paper towels. It takes probably a minimum of two months to go through a roll of paper towels because they're only used for things like mopping up grease or really messy stuff. SRS |

I certainly wash mine frequently (that's why they're mostly very soft and absorbent, because they're washed often). SRS |

18 May 03 - 12:16 PM (#954879) Subject: RE: BS: Kitchen towel exchange From: Nigel Parsons SRS: yes, and I wash mine (or my wife does, depends who's going into work at what time). But I was answering the question of why should some people prefer paper towels. Nigel |
