I use Shout. Lots of it. It'd be far less trouble to just wear a bib whenever I'm near food. Or paint. Or pens. Oh hell, who am I kidding? Bring on the Hazmat suit.

2. At what point do you recognize that your favorite tee-shirt can no longer be worn out in public?

When 4 inches or so of the collar separates from the front of the shirt, and it forms its own handle. At least it's handy for carrying to the Rag Bag. And for dabbing my tears of mourning as I do so.


3. If there is a stain that you cannot get out what happens to this item of clothing, does it become work around the house/in the garden clothes or does it become a rag or is it banished from your life all together?

Hey, sometimes the stains make it cooler and I sport it proudly for all my weekend errands. Just saying.


4. Scented laundry detergent or scent free?

Scent free. Though let's face it, it never is.

5. Do you like your towels hung out on the line or dried in the dryer?

Dryer. I can't even remember what line-dried clothes smell like.

6. When removing your lightly worn clothes do you: a. hang them up or fold them? b. utilize a wooden valet? c. the back of the bedroom chair works fine? d. what is this "lightly worn" you speak of, everything goes into the hamper.

C.

7. What is your lend/lease policy regarding your button-down shirts, cotton boxers, tee-shirts......inquiring femmes what to know.

Whenever I come home to Medusa in my tees and button downs, I always feel like Sylvester the Cat doing a triple-take at the impudent mouse brazenly carrying a hunk of cheese across the floor... but a split-second later, I'm Pepe le Pew with lovestruck eyes and my heart beating out of my chest. Go figure.

Thanks for the questions!

No, everything goes in the washer and dryer.

Fold them in pairs.

4. Your jeans, ironed or no?
No.

5. Hand-washing of sweaters and knit vests, yes or no?
I don't own any knit vests. However, sweaters I machine wash and hang dry.

6. Do you have a specific day your do your laundry or is it an on going project?
No, whenever I run out of things to wear I'll do my laundry.

7. Are you proprietary concerning your laundry or can others participate in the cleaning of your clothes?
I have a few things I prefer to wash myself if I want them done a specific way (no dryer, etc).

8. Do the same rules apply to your bedding or is that a separate issue?
Same rules apply, but I typically do it myself and throw everything in the washer/dryer. But it is washed separately.
