Attn: Pillow Slashers.....

Tales from the Odyssey of the Pillow

I am a pillow slasher ......I have no regrets and offer no apologies....
......it's all Babette's fault.....
no fancy electic knives.....just a basic utility knife.
I slice and dice and fillet....it ain't pretty....but it is very effective,
and comfortable.

I was having a difficult time finding a pillow case that would fit.
All standard cases had to be folded under in some fashion and
it was crimping my sleep style fussing around w/it in the night.

One of the stops that I made on my Pillow Odyssey was the
Tony Little Micropedic pillow. They are a strange pillow. For some things
they are very comfortable...but for sleeping they turn into a rock and
are terrible....BUT, they come w/a spandex pillow case.
So, I took the spandex pillow case and put it on my slice and dice pillow,
Bada-Bing, Bada-Bung.......

Not only does it fit "skin tight" it is very cool to the touch,
almost sensual to the face.

Spandex, can't go wrong with spandex....
or as we say in cycling,
"for better or worse, spandex does not.....can not, lie"
"If your therapy is improving your health but you're not doing anything
to see or feel those changes, you'll never know what you're capable of."
I said that.

It's okay. I was raised as an only child. I'm used to be the scapegoat for everything.

(I technically have 5 brothers and sisters - they just weren't raised with me)

Anyway, isn't this a bit spendy? Can't you find a local seamstress to sew you up the pillow case of your dreams?

You CAN buy sheets made of 100% cotton t-shirt jersey. You can find them at Ross, Marshalls and TJ Maxx. I have a couple of pillow cases in that fabric that I use for some "custom pillow" things I did with a seat cushion for a hard oak office chair.

Cheers,
B.
