Just checked in on Forence.

Prayers sent that all everyone in the path of this monster stays safe. Homes can be rebuilt. Life can't be.

@CapricornFarm. WIll your river pose a threat for you with the storm surge they are predicting?

I certainly don't expect it to, but you never know with weather.

I'm not allowed near the washing machine ever since I 'accidentally' washed some white underwear with a new red flannel shirt.

1mutts, there is an ongoing battle between me, and Dh over his clothes. He piles them in a corner of the room. There is no reason for him not to walk them out to the laundry. He doesn't have to sort them, wash them, or fold them. All he has to do is carry them out. He goes to the restroom, then back out to the garage at least twice a day, passing the laundry. There is no reason he can't carry them to the laundry. Instead, he piles them up, and complains I don't ever wash clothes. When it gets to the point he has no clothes, he tosses them all in the laundry, and expects them done immediately. I make him wait a couple days, since it took him forever to get them out there. I'm not good with "froggy jump" scenarios. This has been ongoing for years, so we've both pretty much learned to live with it. When I vacuum, I kick them under the bed, toss them in his bathtub, etc. Hey, if it matters to him, he can deal with correctly.

Seems like he has a hard time getting the clue!

I'm allowed to do my whites I've been banned from general laundry ever since I put 2 specific things in the dryer on low heat. Now I claim INNOCENCE on the flannel nightgown that had a tag that specifically said tumble dry low. How was I to know that DW didn't put her nightgown in on low. On the hook for the cashmere sweater though.

@bruceha2000, accidents happen in the laundry room.

I prefer to do my own laundry. My son used to do his, and remove from dryer all wrinkled and over dried. Then he'd stuff in a suitcase for traveling. Came home and all the wrinkled stuff stayed in there till the next trip. I didn't butt in since he would never listen. My brother does laundry the same. Collars are all twisted in every direction because he won't take shirts out still damp -hang on shower curtain rod and straighten collars out to dry properly. He keeps blaming it on Lands end stuff.

He's not allowed near the machines. He doesn't sort clothes, or anything. Just tosses everything in, washes, tosses it all in the dryer, leaves them, reheats them to try to get some wrinkles out. I don't do clothes that way. I do things a lot like Diva described. I like to get them out slightly damp, and deal with them, except for towels. I want them completely dry. Normally I have a couple loads of towels, so I toss them in a certain chair, then fold them that night while watching tv, and put them away.
