Reply #67: An absolutely horrible reason [View All]

[Pacifist Patriot]

Five people in the household, three of whom participate in sports regularly meaning lots of sweaty changes of clothes throughout the day. I also live in an area with highly unpredictable summer weather. I line dried a few years ago when the kids (and the hubby) weren't generating as much laundry. Way too many afternoons I'd look out the window to see an unexpected squall soaking my clothes all over again. The towels I can fit under the lanai and are the easiest to hang out. They are also the biggest drain on the dryer energy and what make me have to run a second cycle. I do so much laundry I don't even bother with laundry baskets or separating colors, whites, heavies, etc. As soon as it comes off a dirty body it goes right into the washer. As soon as it's filled it's turned on. And trust me, if it doesn't have stains or stink it's wearable again. Which is a rule three boys are perfectly happy to accommodate but don't often have to take advantage of.
