Gosh- Our washing machine quit today, and on laundry day to boot.

Not a funny situation since I have 4 kids...... and my daughter goes through enough clothes for 3-4 all by herself.

Anybody wanna come over & help? I actually had to pack up and go to a LAUNDROMAT today.....I had forgotten how brutal that can be.  

Any takers????

Well the one nice thing about a laundromat is that you can do many loads at the same time.  Sat do six loads of laundry in a maximum of 1.5-2 hrs compared to 9-12 hours at home with one washer/dryer.  Think about it.

Yeah.....true, haha.

I did get TONS of laundry done in just a couple of hours.

But I haven't done this for years.

I had to fight for a basket...... fight for a washer...... fight for a dryer.

Well, not physically "fight"..... but you know what I mean. The town I'm close to has ONE laundromat, and not a big one either. And alot of apartment complexes in it, so I guess a big portion of the folks who live there do not have washers & dryers.

But, heck yeah- I'm DONE with laundry for the week. Good point. Even got hubby & all the kids to help me this time. (cause they wanted to go HOME...)

Hi Charmin!! Sounds like the laundrymat wasn't that bad after all. Yeah that laudry scene can be brutal! I absolutely hate doing the laundry.. I'm the only one who does it right!  :oh yeah: I carefully hang all all the shirts just perfectly and the pants on pant hangers. When someone else does my clothes(my husband or daughter) there half hanging on some wire hanger sliding down bunched up on one end.  Oh well.. I just put them back in the dryer and fluff  LOL them!! hehe! Don't work too hard!

They need to invent Laundromats with video poker machines hehehe... I mean .... you could play for detergent or somethin'  LOL .... although you'd probably lose your quarters and be unable to dry all your stuff! It's pretty boring sittin' there waiting.... or reading a book. I've lost a whole load of clothes once by going next door to the store for a quick errand. It was a whole load of towels... I was pretty upset! But learned my lesson grrrr.

It IS good that you can get it all done at once.... Dona, I throw stuff in the dryer too.... love to fluff!  LMAO

Hope you got it all ironed out Blue!  LOL

Yeah...... guess in the laundry world I'm a "fluffer" too, haha.

Yanno, the kids and hubby (when they DO a load)... they take what they need out of the dryer and the rest goes in a BASKET and STAYS there. Until I threaten, yell, throw a hissy....or just fold em myself. But, yeah, they are all wrinkly then. I dress pretty casual, but I HATE wrinkled clothes.

DONA- You're pickier than me- so I nominate YOU to come help!!  :dancin:
I'm baaaaaddddd with not hanging stuff- they go laid in a "clothes to hang" pile usually in fornt of my closet. I hate that chore. And then I wonder where my kids learn that from......Hmmmm.... guess I'm just not very darn domestic. Got a sis who LOVES to iron- imagine that- to IRON. I hate it.  But then, I don't usually own anything that requires ironing, haha.

SHEREE- When I lived in Eugene, Oregon they actually had a laundromat/tanning salon that had a few arcade games, and a tv. It took some of the "boring" out of it I guess. I never tanned while there, but the kids could watch tv instead of whining "are we done yet".

BADSINGER- If you're REALLY gonna bring me a new washer, I'll give ya that address, hahaha.

I'll take you up on that duet though- anytime my friend. Would be an honor to sing something with you.

Oh ma gosh........ You know how many times I have been teased about using that phrase. ........"I'm fixin' to...." Of course, I grew up in Oregon mostly, and California...... and learned my phrasing from my southern parents, haha. You don't hear people around here talk like that.

You just lemme know when you're done with all the computer junk & ready to sing, and I will pick something. (maybe from "Grease" or something....) lllllllllll- don't take that too seriously please.  I don't do Olivia Newton John....not in public anyhow.

Now- You just called me "kinky" in another thread........... WHO is sounding "kinky", - I just said "my thangs".......... you read that how you want to.  :wink:

Well Yeaaaaa....Being  male we have to read BETWEEN the lines....and we all knew what you meant....didn't we guys.......all guys know what the word THANGS means.....hmmmmmm, ok maybe we don't, but we always think we do.......hugssssssssssssss

 :shock:

Um... wanna come over for a while??

heheheheh

I'm on the other end... I hate to fold.  I hang EVERYTHING up.  T-Shirts, jeans, everything.

Only if it won't stay on a hanger does it get shoved into a drawer, er, I mean folded.

Battery life on a laptop and length of average movie, 1 1/2 to 2 hours, time to do laundry in a laundrymat, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.  Coincidence?  I don't think so.
