I folded because pulling them from a hot dryer into a hamper where they cooled down created ridic wrinkles. I also folded them into piles for each family member and they were responsible for putting their own piles away.

That being said, hanging clothes would sit on top of my dresser for WEEKS.

Hi all! I am free from the hospital for tonight. Sister is probably going to be discharged tomorrow and will go to a friend's house, close enough for me to come often and help out. That's all good. Diagnosis awaits final biopsy results, which will take 2 weeks. Oy. According to my other sister (the doctor) neither diagnosis is good, so I guess there's that. Still processing. It all seems very hard.

That does sound hard, Burrell. Good thoughts for all of you.

Sorry to hear that, Burrell.

Thanks, ~t and WS. For now it's first things first, get her home from the hospital and help her recover from the surgery.

I dunno if this counts, but I hang ~95% of my laundry fresh from the dryer and cart it up to the closets. If it goes in the folded pile, it is folded, but that's only shorts, jeans and weekend pj shirts. And towels. It all gets put away fresh from the dyer.

When I had to laundrmat, I dry cleaned the pants and hung everything as soon as I got home after folding/rolling them to minimize wrinkles.

Best possible outcome for your sister, Burrell. I'm always available to talk about cancer and chemo and I have a lot of experience translating cancer jargon.

I'm glad you can be there to help her, Burrell.

When I used to go to laundromats I'd fold there, partially because they had nice big tables to fold on. Now my washer and dryer are in the garage and I fold the clean clothes in the living room and don't check "Laundry" off of my To Do list until it's all put away. Sometimes this means I have a basket full of clean clothes sitting unfolded in the living room for days, but in general it's an okay system.

My favorite thing ever was the little laundry around the corner from our first apartment in New York, on Second Ave. If you took laundry and washed it, you could have the women there dry it and fold it for ridiculously cheap.

His shorts could be PATCHWORK PLAID. (My dad has a pair.)

Hah. Madras!!

Burrell that sounds really tough. I hope you can get the support you need to be helpful (and I hope we can maybe help with that if possible!)

I don't laundromat but I do fold right out of the dryer...and then the piles live on my floor or in the laundry basket (at which point the dirty clothes can't go in there, so they end up all over the floor)
