	I think it depends on the garment. The point is, they are the pros, I don't have to worry about it, or iron.

	I thought it had something to do with steam. They are always steamy right?

	Pretty sure "dry cleaning" is a misnomer. They use a heavy solvent instead of water. There is actually nothing dry about it.

	No the process is not dry, a solvent is used to clean. The reason it's called "dry cleaning" is that water is not used. Robert C. wrote on 08/05/14 at 12:45pm: Is dry cleaning really dry?

Its main benefit is it cleans and disinfects clothing very well. And it does not cause the shrinkage or wear of wet washing methods, in regards to delicate fabrics like cotton, wool, etc.. Is it safe? Nothing living is safe.

	I just bought a rooster on Monday... the last two ended up in the pot. We have hens but they are pretty safe as long as they are laying. This one never shuts up... I'm starting to feel like he's got to go.. Anyone want to buy a 6 month old Rhode Island Red Rooster? $10. PM me - before it's too late for him. Woods Rider is right - Cockerel is the English term for what we call a "Rooster" (because Americans couldn't say it without snickering)

	Not sure how we got from dry cleaning to roosters but why not. Oh, almost time to get the leaf blowers ready for the fall grooming season.

What exactly did you expect him to do?

	Some crow more than others. Some are meaner than others. But they are all delicious. He'll settle in after a few days of telling the world he's here and in charge.

	While we're on this train of thought.. Anybody know what the term 'yard' referred too before the Latin word was adopted? Here's your hint: Using the term 'yard' to refer to this particular object was obviously a male idea. Hum.., should body parts be capitalized? I think I skipped that class. And no, I'll pass on the rooster that crows all night.
