[bicentennial_baby]

[sniffa]

1. *snort*

i was just going to post this. :rofl:

oi vey!! how many hours did we spend doing that?

[bicentennial_baby]

3. It felt like a brazillian!

Probably about 5 hours or so, maybe a lil less...But that's not counting folding :wow:

:rofl:


:loveya:

[speedoo]

16. Aaaah yes. The laundromat memories....

Nothing like laundromat time to add that certain something to a relationship.:-)

How come Seinfeld never did a laundromat episode? :shrug: That would have been good for some laughs.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

2. Times like this, I'm glad I'm single.

:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

4. I don't blame you...

:hi:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

5. i can imagine...just mine and lisas makes a whole lotta laundry

[bicentennial_baby]

6. It's amazing....

Although, with two girls, not really surprising...I'm just glad I'm not as much of a fashionista as the Mrs, or we'd be in real trouble! :rofl:

:hi: And congrats on the moving-in thing :)

[sniffa]

7. oh c'mon, don't seLL me short

i had 2 pairs of pants in there (as opposed to my usuaL one).

but on a serious note.. how many fucking toweLs do we use!!? :crazy:

[bicentennial_baby]

9. Too many?

:P It's true...If we did it more often, it wouldn't be so bad...So, so bad... :cry:

Even though I do loooooove laundry fights :D

But yes, my lil fashionista, I won't sell you short, evah :D

:*

[sniffa]

11. yay for Laundry fights!!!

mrs. sniffa got her first taste of that, and she didn't Like (even though we went soooo easy on her). :P

[bicentennial_baby]

12. lightweight....

Laundry fight is kinda like Thunderdome, y'know...Two hotties enter, only one hottie leaves :rofl:

:D

[La Lioness Priyanka]

27. i think lisa has way more clothes than me. though no one believes me.

she also takes more time to get dressed.

but again NO ONE BELIEVES ME.

[bicentennial_baby]

30. Haha! I can imagine!

But, for what it's worth, I believe you :pals:

[Left Is Write]

8. I hear you.

I'm doing a mountain of laundry today. A MOUNTAIN. This is a household of four, two of whom are little kids. Where is all this laundry coming from?

I think it breeds overnight in the laundry room. For that reason, I'm going to start calling it the fucking laundry.

[bicentennial_baby]

10. Bwahahaha!

:rofl: I like it! :D

Man, I can't even imagine what it'll be like once I have a kid too! :o

Maybe I'll raise it as a nudist :P

:hi:

[Shell Beau]

13. I can only imagine! Between my husband and me, it is rough enough!

[bicentennial_baby]

14. Hey you! Long time no see!

Although I did see you holding your own and representing in a certain thread last night ;)

:hi:

[Shell Beau]

15. Glad to see y'all doing so well!!!

;)

:hi:

[Little Wing]

17. Don't mix your colors and white or you'll have a pink side

[ForrestGump]

46. HIGHLY inappropriate remark for MLK Day....

:hide:

[Little Wing]

And a terrible attempt at a joke, to boot

:toast:

[tigereye]

18. wait til you have kids!

then the laundry will be covered with every kind of grime imaginable, melted crayons, chocolate, candy, rocks and twigs....

[bicentennial_baby]

19. nooooooo!

i know.... x(

i hope by that time we have our own washer and dryer...If not... :cry:

[tigereye]

47. I'm sure you will

I had to go to the laundromat recently to wash some down coats and was totally confused, since I hadn't been in one in so long. It's expensive! :wow:

[RetroLounge]

20. Add a couple of kids, then you will freak out!

The laundry NEVER ENDS in my house. Never...

(of course, I don't do it, so it doesn't really affect me much...)

:D

RL

[bicentennial_baby]

22. Bwahaha!

:spank:

:)

[LaraMN]

21. Honey, I've had my own washer and dryer for about five years now,

and I NEVER stop appreciating it! I HATED living in apartment and having to scrape up quarters. Inevitably I would have just enough and the machine would eat one. :eyes:

[bicentennial_baby]

23. We went throuh 2 rolls Saturday night!

That's $20 :o

:hi:

[LaraMN]

24. Ouch! That's more than half my monthly water bill.

I bet your closet is full, though!:bounce:

[bicentennial_baby]

25. Hehe, we have a few closets and

they are overflowing! As well as dressers, drawers under the spare bed... :crazy:

[Midlodemocrat]

26. 10 loads in one weekend?

Lightweight. :P


When we had TeenMidlo's friend living here and my FIL, I did 4-5 loads A DAY. And, this is with the largest capacity washer/dryer on the market.

If I still had to go to the laudromat, I'd have to live there. I hate doing laundry. It never ends.

[bicentennial_baby]

29. Haha!

Yeah, if we did it more often it wouldn't be so bad, but I hear you. My mom still does at least 3 loads a day with her, my dad and my brother...

:hi:

[Midlodemocrat]

32. I swear. It seems to breed in the hamper.

And don't even get me started on my son's clothes. :puke:

[Call Me Wesley]

28. You are DARKSIDED!11!!

You might consider adding some colorsafe bleach. ;)

:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

31. ROFL!

:rofl:

:hi:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

34. DORK SIDED

[Gormy Cuss]

33. The Dark Side?

Wash that stuff separately from the whites. Don't you know anything about doing laundry, girl?
:P

[bicentennial_baby]

36. ....

:rofl:

I can always count on you.... :D

[Heidi]

35. Our goddaughter probably has polyamory in her future.

When she was about six, she intimated to me: "I'm gonna have three men. One for cooking, one for cleaning and one for playing." I could only reply, "Well, _now_ you're thinkin'!"

:P

[La Lioness Priyanka]

37. lol

:rofl:

[bicentennial_baby]

38. Now that's a smart girl!

:rofl:

:D

:hi:

[Heidi]

39. She REALLY is a card.

Luisa, who has been raised generally pagan in a state which has mandatory CCD in the public schools, called CMW up one night when she was about six and they had the most, um, interesting conversation.

Luisa: "Götti, what's the deal with Adam and Eve and the snake?"
CMW: "Luisa, that's the kind of thing you should ask your mother."
Luisa: "I ASKED her. She told me to call you. So what's the story?"

:rofl:

[bicentennial_baby]

40. Ha!

Wow, what a kid...I hope that my future kid(s) is/are as precocious! :rofl:

[Heidi]

41. I'm sure your future kids will be every bit as straight-up as Luisa.

Another Luisa story, from shortly after we were married.

Luisa: "You and CMW have a kitten so you don't need to have a baby."
Heidi: "That's true, Luisa. We don't really want any babies, anyway. We have you and Sara to love, too."
Luisa: "CMW can have an operation. My dad had it."

:roflo: :spray:

[bicentennial_baby]

42. Ha!

She's adorable! :loveya:

[Heidi]

43. You might not think so if she were an every day presence in your life.

Two years ago, Luisa wanted to be a painter so we made an agreement that she could come work in my studio, painting gesso onto canvases. I agreed to pay her to do this on her Wednesday afternoons free from school.

Heidi: "How about 10 francs?"
Luisa: "How about 10 francs an _hour_? I think that is the law."

:eyes:

[bicentennial_baby]

44. Damn!

:rofl: She knows what's up! :rofl:

[sasquatch]

45. CCD?

:shrug:

[crim son]

48. One husband, three kids.

Five beds with sheets and pillowcases, three shower curtains, forty towels and assorted washcloths, thirty-five pairs of underwear a week, about the same number of tops and bottoms. Kitchen rags, rag rugs, bathroom rugs, UNDERSHIRTS (why?) winter jackets, mittens, hats and scarves. Felt boot linings. Occasionally, curtains. All hail whoever it was who invented the automatic clothes washer & dryer.

[bicentennial_baby]

49. Can you imagine...

Life before them? The horror! :scared:

:hi:

[crim son]

54. I can't!

Although it recently dawned on me that I was now able to get into a car, strap myself in and go without having to assist anybody else. That's what I call a MILESTONE. :hi:

[Taverner]

50. Couldn't you get an intern to do it for you?

;)

[bicentennial_baby]

51. Working on it, trust me

;)

[Taverner]

52. You just need a Rachael Ray to help ya ;)

[bicentennial_baby]

53. Oh you...

:spank:

Although, she is, like, the master of carrying things all at once...Hmmmmmm...

:D

[WindRavenX]

55. damn I thought my 1-2 loads a week was bad

:wow:

[bicentennial_baby]

56. well, we do have a lot of clothes,

but the consequence of such is that we can go 2-3 weeks w/out doing it...And then, this happens :)

but Sniffa's right...Damn, we have *a lot* of towels! :wow:

[WindRavenX]

58. I *wish* I had some more clothes

damn you college, damn you!

Towels are good though--nothing beats a nice fluffy warm towel :)

[billyskank]

57. There's nothing else for it

you'll have to stop wearing clothes :P

[bicentennial_baby]

59. Silly! We live in New England!

I'll freeeeeeze! :scared:

I guess we could move to warmer climes, though :D

:hi:

[billyskank]

61. Ah, Old England will be no good for that either, then

;)

:hug: :hi:

[RevolutionaryActs]

60. Time to get out the washboard!

:rofl:

[bicentennial_baby]

62. You! Now I know what task you will be assigned with...

when you come out here! :bounce:

Btw, when the fuck *are* you coming out here, dahling? :loveya:

[RevolutionaryActs]

63. Hey! Guests don't do laundry

:P


I don't know, since the beginning of the month, everyone has asked for time off from mid Feb. to the first part of April. Bitches. :cry:

[bicentennial_baby]

64. Oh fine...

x(

I *may* deign to wash the sheets on the spare bed before you come out...


:P

Well, we'll be waiting...whenever you can, we'll be here! :bounce:

And maybe we'll get lucky and it will be when Graywarrior gets back up here too! :bounce:

[billyskank]

65. OMG

Could New England withstand such a confluence of excellence? :o

:D

[RevolutionaryActs]

69. You should come visit too.

Then we can implode Boston with our coolness. :rofl:

[RevolutionaryActs]

66. LOL!

:rofl:



When is your break in March? (you can PM me) It couldn't hurt to ask, right? :shrug:


OMG! Me and Gray together, are you sure you can handle that? :rofl:

[bicentennial_baby]

67. I'll pm you in a sec

And :rofl:... I *think* I could...Sniffa, though, that's a whole 'nother story! :rofl:

[RevolutionaryActs]

68. Eh, we'll just keep feeding him martinis, then he won't notice.

:rofl:

[bicentennial_baby]

70. That's what I usually do! How did you know?!

:rofl:

[RevolutionaryActs]

73. HAHAHAHAHA! *snort*
