Countless books, magazines, articles and important documents were all on the brink of being washed away.

I thought long and hard and something finally came to mind. I decided that these would not dry left as is, but neither could these be torn apart. I thought that the lose papers would be just fine if there wasn't a whole lot of them. This was a very bizarre moment for me, as I never really had to worry about document drying before. Just remember to rotate every 10 minutes so that the edges don't get brown. The one appliance that I had not thought to use yet was the microwave.

Looking back at the situation, there really wasn't anything that could have been done to prevent the damage done to all those papers.

But there still was a problem with drying the books and such. This time I would use the actual dryer to do the job. I know now that this might seem strange to do at first, but it can be done.There was a time when Expanded PTFE Joint Sealant a huge storm came rolling in and tons of stuff got soaking wet. One batch later and everything was going good. But then again, what cycle do you put papers on? There certainly wasn't any recommendation from the company so I went with a low setting. It was now just a matter of how I was going to be able to make the documents dry without damaging them.
. I thought that there wasn't going to be anything that I could do to fix the problem. Load it up again and away we go.

There was of course, only so much room on the clothesline to dry off these documents. Of course, what other appliance cooks food faster than the trusty microwave. I had indeed discovered a document drying revolution. There were papers out on the clothesline, in the oven, microwave, dryer and any other place that was able to get the water out. To make them have a fresh scent, and to prevent static cling, I put in a dryer sheet while drying documents. The big books went into the oven on low heat and magazines in the toaster oven. You haven't lived until you've had the pleasure of a birth certificate smelling like mountain spring fresh. Just think of fluffy pillows. At that time, I didn't know any document drying methods. I can't imagine how I must have looked like to someone else. Or maybe nothing but the power that went out because many appliances were being used all at once. Thirty seconds each on high heat should do just the trick.

Even after a day of document drying using various methods of heat, there was still more to be done. After doing this for a little while, I decided that there should be a book for document drying for this. Another way had to be thought of, and suddenly I got another idea. Yes, I was doing some serious document drying at lightning speed. Drying on a clothesline in the backyard was just one thing to do to save a few of them. I would just let the papers air dry. Nothing could stop me now. Maybe I should be the one to make that happen. There were papers every where in the house and outside too. Clearly, I had made document drying into an Olympic sport and I was to hold the gold in all divisions. And these papers meant a lot to me.
