Handwash? What is this 'handwash' of which you speak?

Another very good question. My laundry is simple -- 4 piles. White hard, black hard, white soft, black soft. Not all the black is black (but most is), and not all the white is white (half is). Soft gets woolite, gentle cycle, no tumble dry. Hard gets normal detergent, normal cycle, two go rounds in the dryer.

One dye transfer mishap would annoy me so much I have no urge to experiment. Also, as is, I do so much laundry (one lousy person!) that there's no real economy in consolidation.

One of the things I love about my front loader washer, is that it seems to be gentle enough to eliminate this Handwash concept.

I sort - but partly because there is so much laundry. on a bad week there is a black, blue, red/purple, med , light, towels and stuff like that. We have way too much laundry for 2 people. But enough clothes so we can go about a week and half before we get to the dregs.

and now you made me do laundry

I know Hec likes me because he's told me I'm full of crap. Only a true bunky will do that for you...many "friends" will go on letting you torment yourself. If lj becomes over run by Homicide fans, can a friends vs. bunkies list be far behind? Cause if you say somebody's your bunk...you are like (crosses fingers) Mal and Zoe are sworn bunkies. despite never really sharing a bunk.

I don't own anything that says handwash on it. Or if I do I haven't hand washed it and it's survived.

All my dry clean stuff goes through dryel.

In natter people were talking about how old the clothes are that they wear, I don't have a very big wardrobe so I tend to wear my clothes out and end up replacing things. I need to stop that. Or spilling thigns on my tops and getting stains.

ION, twice today someone has told me I look "dowdy" and pale. My choice to wear a comanpy windbreaker is evidentally is a bad choice because it makes me look really dowdy.

I'm feeling more frustrated and fat today. I want to be the type of person who really cares about all of that and is willing to get up in the morning and put on make up and really care about my clothes but...I seem to be lacking that kind of motivation.

Yes, well, that and the custom made box set. Which nobody else has gotten! (Yet, since Jim has an order in.)

My laundry piles are 3: bleach, dark, light. The medium stuff that isn't likely to transfer die gets split between the darks and lights, to balance out the load. When I had pretty clothes, I had four piles of laundry: bleach, dark, light, gentle.

Clorox 2 takes care of both the sweaty clothes, and most of the problem of dye transfer.

Um, I have nothing to add to the LJ convo. On account of not having one.

I use dryer sheets, 'cuz otherwise WICKED static.

And, late to the game, but my porn name is Butterscotch Bolinas. I kinda like it.
