Phew! Conducting scientific research is EXHAUSTING! How do statisticians DO it?
i appreciate your exhausting research for sensitive issue dear Debra as i have noticed you always bring up something really delicate and important matter to ponder upon and i really admire your hard work :)
ReplyDeletehugs and blessings
I forgot to tell you about Cupid, that stupid putto lump of clay. Son of Aphrodite, nephew of Artemis. I live with these crazy gods everyday.
ReplyDeleteLet me tell you, it is not easy.
Ask careful questions and limit the answer options - know the outcome before you ask - how do researchers do this
ReplyDeleteI think the towel creature on the toilet should have had a cigarette in his/her beak. I hope that this is not construed as a "HATEFUL COMMENT"!
ReplyDelete😂😂😂
ReplyDeleteCan Method One'rs ever see eye to eye with Method Two'ers? A question for our times. These are drying times, to be sure.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I want to make that towel animal for my guest bathroom.
ReplyDeleteHAHA! This is funny. I used to be part of the in-crowd with #2. Now I'm a bit of an outcast with #1 but only slightly so. LOL
ReplyDeleteGood to be one of Masters of towel folding. Honestly, if I ever found/find a towel animal as above - it will have to come home with me!
ReplyDeleteWHEW! I was worried, but I think I escaped the wrath. 😊
ReplyDeleteThat is the question. How do statisticians do it?
ReplyDeleteSo funny. I'm glad to see in this scenario I am the Norm.
ReplyDelete@ Boud -- "Drying times" GROAN! Wish I'd thought of that one, LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see I was right. 😁
ReplyDeleteI love that towel critter ... It looks like a duck to me!
ReplyDeleteI might be an Outlaw, but I want that towel animal dead or alive, LOL!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I'm a wild-eyed troublemaking anarchist! This is so much cooler than lazy slob!
ReplyDeleteAnarchy!
ReplyDeleteHello Debra, Method three is insane, because the towels would not stack, but what actually is the difference between methods one and two? You apparently are trying to bring us into the fold, but I for one am ready to throw in the towel.

ReplyDeleteI voted too late.

ReplyDeleteI'm betting the 8 for #3 have military backgrounds.
ReplyDeleteSorry ~ I wasn't able to get to this sooner... I'm a # oner.
ReplyDeleteIf you had posted a photo of a cat asleep on a towel, 100 percent of everyone would have voted for that.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want to use a towel after it's been sitting on a toilet.
ReplyDeleteLOL, sorry I got to this late. Mark me down as an agent of chaos (all 3 whenever the mood hits)
ReplyDeleteRegardless of the folding I want new towels; ours are quit thin and worn out after goodness knows how many years of use.
ReplyDeleteI would be 1 or even less neat, just roughly fold it and chuck it in there, the cupboard is too full for it to matter, anyway!
ReplyDeleteTrue story: I folded towels the number 2 way for years. My oldest daughter grew up with it. We folded laundry together about a year ago while she was here temporarily. She saw me fold using method one, and got upset. "You never fold towels like that!" Sure I do. "But you always folded them in thirds! All my life!" Yeah, but that was so they would fit on the shelf. I have deeper shelves now.
ReplyDeleteShe looked as if everything in her life turned out to be a lie. Yeah, kid, we do things for a reason, not just for tradition.
I love the towel folding. I don't own enough towels to try but it looks challenging.
ReplyDeleteTowel folding depends on the place and the situation. So I'd say all 3. So this makes me flexible, open to different options? Yes sounds about right. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I am in the right group!
ReplyDeleteThe towel on the toilet is hysterical, Debra! I fold different ways, depending on the towel and where I'm storing it. I'm anal about it. If I accidentally fold a towel inside out, I'll redo it. I remember my brother visiting me once. He bust out laughing when he reached for a towel in the linen closet. Everything was orderly and arranged just so. He said, "Obviously you don't have four children!" I'm working backwards ~ My usual tricks!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I think I'm a combination between all 3! LOL! Big Hugs!
