In Sweden they also do this. We had a friend who lived there for five years, and she found out that you were considered a horrible housewife if you did not air your bedding daily. What she did, because she was so busy with three sick kids, and had no money was she kept an extra set of bedding folded by the windows. She hung that bedding out every day, so she did not have to remake the beds. Wonder how many others did that sneakily. >X-Message: #8 >Date: Sat, 06 Sep 1997 13:58:32 -0700 >From: "Buren L.
