Most tribes require a specific percentage of Native “blood,” called blood quantum, in addition to being able to document which tribal member you descend from. Some tribes require as much as 25% Native heritage, and most require at least 1/16th Native heritage, which is one great-great grandparent. Dec 18, 2012

Just an FYI; true vintage muslin sheets have a thread count of 130-145 threads per square inch. That is why people the people who love them look for them - they're so breathable. The loose thread count and the lack of any synthetic fiber like polyester don't trap sweat and body odors.

Don't be fooled by new "muslin" sheets. If they say something like "wrinkle free" that means they're not 100% cotton muslin, but a blend with a synthetic fiber.

At least once a week I turn my keyboard upside down and give it a few raps on the desk to dislodge anything stuck between the keys. Then I wipe it thoroughly with Clorox disinfecting wipes. So my computer keyboard is not anywhere close to those bacteria numbers. No one's needs to be.

A few years back I got a used washing machine free from a guy that was going to take it to the dump. It's a high end Kenmore top loader and the only thing wrong with it was that someone had tried to wash a down comforter in it. The outer casing material had come apart and wrapped itself around and under the agitator. There were feathers everywhere. It took me an hour or so to get all the feathers out. I had to cut the casing material into pieces a few at a time to get it all from under the agitator.

I haven't needed to use it or even tested it but it was just too nice of a machine to end up in the dump because of someone's (fixable) mistake. But that's what can happen if a down comforter is washed in a home machine and the outer casing isn't strong enough for that type of cleaning.

True. My feeling, although I don't have any personal experience, is that a platform bed without a box sping under the mattress would sit too low to be able to get out of comfortably. Especially if a person is heavy, has a bad back, or something like that.

I think regular mattress stores have a few different grades of metal mattress supports but I'm not positive. I've been using my since at least 1992.

I know that Home Depot, Walmart, Wayfair, Lowe's, Target, et al do.

I've been using the same traditional style since I don't remember how far back and it's the original adustable type on rollers. I've never seen or heard of any weight issues. They come in adjustable lenths and heights. This type:
