Just to clarify, make sure the fusing tape is between the folded hem.

Dammit you spoiled all the fun. I was waiting for the cow to bleat a
question about how to get the fusing tape off Mrs. Cow's iron before she
makes a steer out of him.



LOL Well ... in all fairness, I didn't want to leave out that detail
thinking that it was obvious and then have him have to deal with Mrs.
Cow's messed up iron.

Er, a ruffler makes ruffles? Lot of call for those these days other than
the ones that come in a bag? How about a furbelow or two? I knew a woman
who made pubic hair wigs for the strippers in Boston's Combat Zone. I
guess you could call them furbelows...


HAHA!! When you raise daughters, a ruffler comes in handy!

Look at the bright side, then he will have his own iron and his wife
will have a new one.
It is a great tool for making seams in poly tarps
Lay down a bead with a hot glue gun, lay down the second layer of tarp
and iron it in. (same process you use on the cuff)

She wrote the song in 1996; 20 years later after 16 years of Democrats
and 8 of Republicans it hasn't aged a bit.

This version sounds like it was done in a recording studio and is much easier to listen to because you can make out all the words. ヽ(ヅ)ノ

That sounds like a good suggestion. I'll have to call
some fabric stores and see who sells it around here.
Unless Walmart has it, I will have to
go to a big city to get it.

Super Walmart usually carries it in their fabric dept. The generic
works just as well as the name brand.

Am I supposed to roll the hems to the INSIDE of the pants, or the
OUTSIDE? I know that if I roll them up,
to the outside, they always fill up with hay and other
stuff, which makes a big mess in the house when I
take the pants off. But if it's glued down, that might
not be a problem.

With pants right side out fold hem to the INSIDE.

Great, thanks.
So I should turn the pants inside out, to iron on this stuff on the hem,
and when it cools, turn the pants back to normal, and the hem will be on
the inside. I can do that!!!!!

You couldn't find your size at Dickies sold at Sears?

I read this entire damn thread, and I can't believe anyone already
gave you the obvious, easiest solution. Sheesh, we learned this one in
our combined Home Ec/Shop classes back in the 70s.

They're work pants, right? You aren't going anywhere nice in them. So
fine - get your stapler, load it with some heavier-duty staples, and
staple that hem. Works great, holds up through washing. Staples get
rusty, but you won't care. Any break loose, just grab the stapler and
hit it again. Easier than fussing with adhesive hem tape, and a lot
cheaper than hiring someone to hem them for you.

Also works for broken zippers at work... DAMHIKT

Yeah, that's the one off the CD. I saw her a few years ago but she
didn't do that one. it was just her and a piano and mostly new material.

Some Florida politician tried to cut funding for a public radio station
because they played songs with 'obscene' lyrics, namely Wasteland. Must
have been this verse;

"We got politicians running races on corporate cash
Now don't tell me they don't turn around and kiss them peoples' ass
You may call me old-fashioned
but that don't fit my picture of a true democracy
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free"

Don't forget the song was way before Citizens United kicked the
corporate cash into high gear.
