Jesus fucking christ, the audio volume on that vid almost busted my eardrums before I got the volume down.

But on the up side the cat jumped off my lap and stopped screwing with me and ran outside. :-)

My rule of laundry is to wash all colors together, screw sorting. Unless I have something new, then I wash it separate a few times to get the loose dies washed out.

But sometimes I just don't give a crap if my undies show a little blue or pink and outer clothes, of the kind I buy, don't show up a different shade if I toss a new red tee shirt in the wash with them.

I mean, who ever heard of black pants with a pinkest tint? Well, I suppose some frigging music star would like something like that but it would cost him/her a fucking fortune to have them made.

Okay... here is my take on this. Are we talking hot water white wash? If the selves were any other color, I'd say... screw it and white wash it. But red almost always loses color. No hot water wash for red in any amount.

But if you are a cold water washer, it won't matter if it is a white or color wash. Either way will do it.

Thanks for the Billy Idol. Big grins.

I have always wondered how you wash a shirt like that. I hope you get a straight answer. Or dont end up with a pink shirt

Ananda girl said...

ah hem... that's if the "sleeves" not "selves". Oops.

bbc - i had you pegged as a billy idol fan. i guess i was wrong.

ananda - women are always telling me to do something with cold water;)

sage - maybe drycleaning is the answer.

yellowdog - i like bleach, i'll try that.

There is a lot of music I haven't heard, I don't listen to as much as others I guess. I'm an old shit kicker and like country western, but other things also.

I'm off in the morning to go meet Ananda Girl in Oregon, you're in charge while I'm gone, good luck with that, ha ha ha.

Here is your solution to laundry, do what you want to do, why in the hell should it matter to anyone else?

You want fries with that? he he he.

I don't sort my laundry,but I do keep my fish sticks seperate from my tater tots.
I hope that helps.

Got a good out loud laugh out of your comment back.

My brother drove a Mini Cooper... one of the originals. Lemon yellow and it was fun... much bigger inside than one imagines. Just a shelf for a dash. Great little cars. You can turn in tight tiny circles.

Now I want some tater tots.

Give the shirt away, thus giving away the problem at the same time.

So did you get your laundry dilemma solved? You can always just keep spraying Fabreeze on it and never wash it. And thanks for the tunes. It is always nice to hear a little Billy Idol to start my Tuesday afternoon.

Cold water. Because let's face it, if the red sleeves are going to bleed, you're screwed no matter what you wash it with.

Cute minis, great song - what's not to like?

bbc - if i'm in charge, i invoke the code of the west:
every man for himself.

sling - thanks, it helps a lot.

ananda - most of the guys i know driving minis are real tall, go figure.

tex - it ain't my shirt, it's sonny's.

mr shife - it appears to be solved, the old cold water treatment.

secret - let it bleed, amen.

I am ashamed to say, what with laundry being my profession, that I would throw that bastid shirt in with any load of wash. Well as long as it was in cold water and had been washed a few times previously. Otherwise it’d be washed on it’s own-some.
