    Then there's the Jester Method for Doing Laundry:

    1. ...
    74. ...
    Where's "##. Found remote." ?

      Jester, your posts reminded me entirely too much of this. ^_^

      I will confess, however, that my own metric for "When is it time to do laundry?" is whenever I run out of usable socks or *ahem* drawers, as we called them back home.

        Good grief, I don't think I could come up with 15 loads worth even if I gathered up everything in this house that's even remotely machine washable. Jester, I'm... um... impressed is the word I think I'll go with.

        Our laundry hamper holds about 2 loads worth of clothes. When it gets full, it's time to do laundry. This means once or twice a week. I hate hate hate doing laundry. Seriously. I'd rather clean a cat box. Less painful and over more quickly.

        And yes, Jester, did you ever find the remote?

          The younger of the two dachshunds* is well known for stealing women's panties out of the dirty clothes. Not sure why he goes for just those, but I've had to chase after him a time or two for it.
          Does the canine kleptomaniac do this more often "mid-cycle" than at other times of the month? Is he "intact" (i.e. not neutered)? If so, he might be attracted by "in season" pheremones. His reaction would be somewhat "detuned" due to the owner of the clothing being of the wrong species, but it's a possibility.

              12. Realize that you have FIFTEEN LOADS OF LAUNDRY.

              13. Hang head in shame.
              I kind of did a 'meh' at this point when I read through. I mean, I can wear 2 loads of laundry as an outfit, I need so many clothes to keep warm all day to work when it's minus freaking 39 out. 15 loads could be a week and half's worth of clothes. But then I realized, you live where it is hot out, all the time. How much clothes could this be? Month and a half worth? More? Colour me impressed.

                You and I may well have different definitions of a load. Or not.

                However, my loads were big, filled the big machines at the laundromat, and the final result was staggering. Also, while I do not have enough underwear, socks, or shorts for a month and a half, I have enough t-shirts that I could wear a different one, no exaggeration, every day for over a year.

                And....I have a picture. This is what the end result looked like when I was done at the laundromat. Two things to note about this picture: most of the hanging shirts are actually doubled up, as I ran out of hangers, and there is a big bag below the hanging shirts (looks like just a dark area) that is filled with underwear and socks.

                    What I wore to work and at work today:

                    Underwear
                    Cargo shorts, camo
                    T-shirt, cotton (representing The Bar, of course)
                    Socks, cotton, quarter, white
                    Sneakers, New Balance, black

                    Would have ridden my bicycle, but it was raining this morning, so I drove my truck.

                    I don't own any tights, sweaters, wind pants, long sleeve underwear tops, flannel jackets, toques, silk socks, or wool socks.

                      I don't own any tights...


                      Unless you've gotten rid of them, you own at least one pair of tights that I know of.

                        Different kind of tights.

                        The tights I own, and I probably have a few of them, I wear once a year for my Court Jester costume. Hardly the kind that would be appropriate for keeping out the cold of the Great White North.

                          Actually, they'd serve just find as a base layer in extreme cold.

                            Probably. But still not the type or tights they were talking about, nor the type that dwellers of such climes would buy to wear for that purpose.

                            Especially not in those colors.

                              They're a base layer. You wear whatever colours appeal to you. Even if they're atrociously clashing and suitable for a clown outfit.


                              As for dogs stealing underwear or whatnot: when we got our little dog, she ate the crotch out of Bast's pants. (trousers, for the brits). Any and all she could get her teeth into.

                              No, we don't know why.

                              1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
                              2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
                              3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
                              4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

                                My dog ruined more of my underwear than I care to count when she was a puppy. Socks too. I'm so glad she's outgrown than nonsense.
