[blparent] Funny Disasters!

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

        Sounds like this dress is more of a uniform v. a dress you wear because you like how you look.
An option you could have tried is to wash the dress again, depending on the type of washer you have, washing on delecate won't hurt the dress and will get rid of the gunk.

Yes, the dry cleaner was probably the best option in this case, unless you
have hours to spend on playing with the dress and continuously asking people
if you've got it all.  Otherwise, something I'd probably end up doing is to
pawn it off on a sighted friend in exchange for a favor of equal value.
I've done this several times and it's a win-win and saves the $$.

Just this morning, I opened the orange juice and took out the little plug so
that I could pour it. Then, my husband's toast popped up from the toaster. I
was distracted because he had to leave in a hurry. I set the juice down and
buttered his toast. When I picked up the juice, I thought it was still shut
and proceeded to give it a good shake!! Juice shower! I have been wiping up
all day! Juice is a sticky gift that keeps on giving!!

Here is another one with a question. I wear a floor length black velvet
dress for concert performances. Much to my dismay, when I took it off the
drying rack this week, I found it full of what felt like very miniature
Braille dots. It must have inadvertently been washed with a scrap of Kleenex
or some other very bad thing for black velvet. We took it to the dry
cleaners, and they removed the stuff with a lint roller. Is there a way I
could have done this myself as a totally blind woman, but been sure there
were no more white specks covering my black velvet? I was trying to do it by
feel before I took it to the dry cleaners. When I thought I had made head
way, I asked a sighted person, and she said the dress was still covered. It
was then that I thought the dry cleaner was the best option.
