Sorry to hear that, Burrell.
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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.

Because books.
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.

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)

Seconding both parts of this
Really? The doves in my yard never go up to the feeders, they just eat on the ground.
Mine eat on the ground, but they have started hanging out on the fence and picking on the other birds, and each other.

They seem to have missed that "bird of peace" memo.

Definitely not carrying any olive branches.
