Butch Laundry

[Greco]

I have gotten more relaxed but only after years from
discharge from the service...smiling

1. Your shirts: do you send them out? wash and iron them yourself? Drip dry?


No Chinese laundry where I live at the moment, so yes I do them myself.

2. If you wear cotton boxers do you iron them?


Yes indeed I do, unless they're my Winter flannel boxers which I don't.

Sleep in my cotton/flannel boxers so no wrinkles. The boxer briefs I
wear for the day...no ironing.

3. Do you ball your socks, fold them as pairs or randomize them in a drawer or basket?


From my service days my running socks all where smiles...dress socks
are folded beside them.

4. Your jeans, ironed or no?


I've gotten more relaxed with this, used to starch and iron them, but
now only iron them.

5. Hand-washing of sweaters and knit vests, yes or no?


If I have a good cleaners, I'll dry clean them, if not, well
it's Woolite to the rescue.

6. Do you have a specific day your do your laundry or is it an on going project?


Every other week, usually after my run on Friday morning.

7. Are you proprietary concerning your laundry or can others participate in the cleaning of your clothes?


My wife was excellent in this department, though I did fold our
clothes...yes, the military once again. Now I always do my
own until I see how they do their laundry...my present sub
does very well.

8. Do the same rules apply to your bedding or is that a separate issue?

Separate.

LeftWritefemme...this was fun, got to know some of the buds
a bit more, good one.

Greco, you do realize that not all laundry places are Chinese, right?

FYI for everyone... watch out washing towels with sheets unless you like sleeping on those pills that helps create. Sheets should be washed alone.

One of these days I hope Rene will remember my words of wisdom and not wash towels with sheets.

Andrea, yes of course. My response was and is not intended for anyone to
take offense. And, my experience in NY albeit many years ago there were
and still are, in Brooklyn, Chinese laundries...that's what they were called
by the owners who were/are Chinese. Unfortunately, not many of these
businesses left. Too bad I didn't open a Puerto Rican laundry...not to
worry folks I am Puerto Rican. And I won't debate this, period.

Interestingly, after I posted about my laundry I felt sad...won't go into it
here...perhaps in the "Listening..." thread.
