Re: , I went to buy organic cotton batting

[Guest guest]

Here's a better question; Why did you bring polyester when I asked for cotton?

, I went to buy organic cotton batting

Well, I just came back from the fabric store. Walked in and said " you have

cotton batting right? " He said: 'Sure, $5 a yard and it's 72 inches wide " My

eyes opened WIDE. I said " Show me " . He brings me over to this HUGE roll and I

then asked:

" Is this organic and unbleached? " He said " why would you need that? " I said

" Well, I grow plants and I need it to be organic and unbleached " .

He said " No, this is polyester " . I said " Oh, it's got flame retardants, etc. "

He said " No, it's nothing but polyester "

I did not buy it.

Did I do the right thing? You can't (or shouldn't) grow in Polyester right?

Yep, why did he indeed? Not a very carefully listening sales associate!

LOL, the question is for the clerk. You asked for cotton, why did he bring

polyester?

Okay, I just got the question. You want to know why he brought me over to the

polyester batting? I think he just wanted to show me what batting was. He held

it up and said 'you see? This is batting "

I've looked up what Polyester is. Not gonna happen.

But... I am going to experiment with something else.

I shall not tell you yet. But if I succeed I shall show you all.

lol
