Hi Julie, Too bad we can't get a clothes allowance... I suggested it a few times to deaf ears. Not only have I stained so many of my clothes, but I have this uncanny ability to rip them also. I just had new windows put on my house and am experiencing the same problem... don't you just love the zero weather. Linda L.
