If only somebody would invent self-folding laundry.....

[Shine]

sigh...

I've got about 6 loads of clean, dry and rumpled laundry sitting on my living furniture right now.

It's been there for two days.

Ugh.

I'm sooooo lazy. I'm soooo tired. I'm soooo unmotivated.

I'm soooo pathetic. x(

[AlCzervik]

1. i'll fold yours if you come over and put mine away--deal?

and i only did 4 loads today so it's not that bad, it's not good but it's not too terrible.

[Shine]

3. hmmm...your 4 loads vs my 6 loads. Deal!

:D

[Lex]

2. Argggh I hate laundry-related chores.

Come to think of it, I hate all household-related chores!

You have my total sympathy. :)

[Shine]

4. well at least I don't hate making rice.

and hopefully soon you won't, either. :D

[piesRsquare]

5. How about self-washing laundry?

:-)

I love having clean stuff...just can't stand the process.

The fact that I have to drive to a laundromat doesn't make it any easier!

You're not pathetic...easy there on yourself! :-)

[VenusRising]

8. We're on the same wave length.

Self-cleaning laundry would rule all!

[Shine]

10. I think it's a brilliant idea.

:applause: hopefully that would include the folding part, too. :D

[Shine]

9. Driving to do laundry would be challenging.

it's hard enough for me to deal with going into our garage where the machines are. LOL.

I was kidding about being pathetic...however I AM lazy, heheheh.

:hi: Welcome to DU, btw! I don't think I've seen you yet. :toast:

[piesRsquare]

35. Thank you!

I've been around for quite awhile...I usually hang out in GD.

Tonight I decided to check out Da Lounge, though...man, you guys are hilarious! :-)

...and very friendly, too!

[VenusRising]

6. If you'll invent self-cleaning laundry

I will invent self-folding laundry.

Deal?

:P

[Shine]

11. What I really need to do is pass this chore on to my kids.

hell, they're old enough now.

:D

[VenusRising]

15. Note to self:

Find some kids.

:rofl:

[Shine]

17. LOL!

:rofl:

[VenusRising]

19. It beats having to wait

to conceive, develop, birth, and age to ripeness for chores.

[Shine]

22. Yeah, I guess. Hey, you want my kids?

:rofl: kidding.

When my sister and I were living with my single dad, during my teenage years, we'd always be asking him to invest in a dishwasher so we wouldn't have to do them ourselves.

He'd always say: "Well, I've already got TWO of them, so why spend the money?" :eyes: Yes, we were his personal slaves.

Now that my kids are older, I'm starting to see the wisdom in that. LOL.

[VenusRising]

30. So far, it's the only plus I can see about kids.

But that's just how I feel now.

It could change. Right? :shrug:

:rofl:

[Shine]

31. Everything changes, babe.

that's the only Constant there is.....

:D

but hey, havin' kids ain't for everybody, that's for sure. hardest thing I've ever done, but it's also brought me the deepest joy.

interesting paradox. truly.

[VenusRising]

32. I know I would feel totally different if I got pregnant.

But we're not actively seeking out parenthood. We're sort of leaving it to Mother Nature.

Although, the old joke goes...

What do you call a couple using the rhythm method? Parents.

Maybe we're doing it wrong. We'll just keep practicing. :P :rofl:

[Shine]

33. Yeah, keep on "practicing"

good luck with that! Have fun! :evilgrin:

[VenusRising]

34. Fun is implied in the practicing.

It's the only thing that's truly fun to practice. :evilgrin:

[ThomCat]

7. Wouldn't it just be easier all around

if we grew thicker, better insulated skin so we could stay naked all the time? :)

[KitchenWitch]

13. Sign me up for your idea!

:evilgrin:

[Shine]

14. Yeah, but think of all the sunscreen we would go through

protecting our thicker skin. :D That could be interesting, though....

[KitchenWitch]

12. My laundry is perpetually in that stage!

Don't feel bad.

I folded 4 loads today and have two loads of sheets and towels that I am doing tomorrow after my power comes back on.

[Shine]

16. What's up with your power? Hope it comes back on soon. How are you posting, in fact?

the kids have gotten to the point where they have to come out to the living room to pick out their day's outfit from the baskets of clean and unfolded laundry. :eyes:

Then, by the time I finally get all the shit folded and put away again, it's time to do another week's worth of laundry.

I'm the female version of Sysyphus....

[KitchenWitch]

18. Our power is on now, but we are having a planned outage tomorrow

for an estimated 8 hours.

We may head to the beach if it is warm enough.

[Shine]

24. "a planned outage".....hmmm...

sounds like a conspiracy to me. :P

Be careful and have fun at the beach! :hi:

[KitchenWitch]

25. Me too

I do not plan to open the fridge at all tomorrow.

[piesRsquare]

36. If the kids can pick out their outfit...

...they can do laundry. I've been doing my own laundry since I was 10.

[LSK]

20. WHERE DO I SIGN UP????

Oh yes, forget going to Mars, invent this 1st!

[Shine]

26. exactly. whoever invented this would be massively rich....

not to mention have the undying gratitude of everybody.

[MsKandice01]

21. Are you sure we don't live in the same house??

I, too, have about 6 loads of wrinkled, dry laundry sitting on my couch. It's been there since Sunday and, at the rate I'm going, it will still be there next Sunday (except for the clothes that I'll pick out to wear for the rest of the week). I have a final exam tomorrow and have been studying like crazy so at this point, I don't really give a shit about clothes.

(To be completely honest though, it would probably still be sitting there even if I was hanging out at home all day not working or going to school.)

[KitchenWitch]

27. I would rather BUY new clothes than fold and put away the ones I have!

Not that I can ever afford to do that.

[Shine]

29. testify, sister

I can so relate.

[Shine]

28. MsKandice, is that YOU?

I was wondering who that was in the corner, studying away...:P

[SPKrazy]

23. yes, they should

and not just permanent press

for me, the iron is turning the dryer back on :blush:

[texanwitch]

37. I don't believe in folding laundry.

My housemate do.

I put my T-shirts on hangers to air dry, the same for blue jeans.

My underwear I keep in the laundry basket.

I have two laundry baskets, one for clean clothes, and one for dirty clothes.

My housemates fold everythinge else, they have given up getting me to fold anything.

[grasswire]

38. I really like doing laundry

It smells so good, and it's such a pleasure to have clean things in the closets and the linen closet. I like to iron, too. It's a good thing, because I collect vintage linens and use them all the time. I don't particulary like doing stinky teenage boy laundry, though, I must admit. Getting mud out of levis is boring.

[Adsos Letter]

39. Yeah, but if it started re-folding itself while you were wearing it...

it could end up being a bad day for everyone involved. :D

[philosophie_en_rose]

40. I agree. Folding laundry sucks.

I need a housekeeper to clean my house, fold my laundry, and put the dishes away.

I would actually embarassed to have anyone come over right now. Clean clothes in piles in my spare room. Dirty clothes in piles in the bathroom.

[MissMillie]

41. I'll do your laundry if you do my dishes

doing dishes is in my top 2 of "worst chores"
