How many days in a row can you wear the same pants?

Are you trying to tell me, and I'm struggling with this concept, that some of you own more than one pair of pants?

And what is this washing business all about?

Bras changed daily and hand-washed, regardless of what the care label says (they have a much longer useful life if they don't bounce around in the dryer where the underwires can mate with the socks and thereby wreak havoc).


Bras mating with sox? And people think DNA research is out of hand.

It also depends on how wrinkled they are. I'd like to wear certain clothes a lot longer, but it's easier just to stick them in the wash again than to bring out the iron.


You are on your way to being the perfect wife, keep up the good work, and don't let that iron get the best of you.

If I'm just hanging out at home I'll wear the same stuff for a few days, except underwear, but if I'm going out, I'm like Kicky. I won't wear the same thing two days in a row, but I'll wear them twice before washing them. It also depends also on how active I am. If I'm out sweating in the garden all day, then obviously those cloths go right in the wash.

Well, I will tell you, a washing machine is something you put your ..........DIRTY LOAD IN.

Understand?

Ew.

I usually wear things only once before washing -- a habit I got into when the kid was tiny and very dribbly and it was absolutely necessary, and while she's a lot less dribbly now I've gotten so used to it that it seems vaguely yucky to wear something again, even if it's fine (not stinky or dribbled-upon.)

When I was in the corporate environment I was careful about rotation of clothes as separate from cleanliness -- a specific eye-catching jacket no more than every two weeks, say, but a nondescript shell could be worn up to twice a week with various things over it.

One thing that really struck me when I lived in London is that if you met someone, you'd say wow what great clothes! What quality, what style! Then you'd see her the next day and she'd have on... the exact same thing. And the next day. And the next. Not just one person, it was a really common thing. They seemed to invest in a few really good items and wear the heck out of them. We (American exchange students) thought it was kind of gross, they (British students) probably thought that we wore shoddy boring clothes.

That reminds me of the guy who wanted to put his
favorite sweatshirt into the wash and was shouting
at his wife in the other room.
"Honey at what setting do I wash my sweatshirt?"
She yelled back: "I don't know. What does it say
on the label?"

There is a certain chromosome men lack which inhibits their laundering skills. (God short changed them) Laughing

Likewise, ehBeth! (Not sure what "here" means exactly, but I'm going with it.)

Joahaeyo, O'Bill and I are die-hard Green Bay Packers fans, and ehBeth is a charming and gracious person who likes to get in the spirit of things. Our mission (O'Bill's and mine anyway) is to get everyone in cheeseheads for Halloween. Want one? :-D
