frank1538 Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 With Jingwen's penchant for washing everything, seems like I'm wearing the same underwear again and again. This just ain't American. Like most guys, I had a certain supply of underwear and would wash the dirties when I started having to use the reserve supply. Never again. Now, three pairs are all I'll ever need. So, I have about a month's supply of underwear that's just sitting in the drawers. I've tried using a first-in first-out approach so that I can rotate them, but I'm now convinced that I'll the only time I'll need more underwear is when the water runs out or the washing machine breaks. Asking price - same as Bill Clinton's estimate of value when he donated to charity. Link to comment
Trigg Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Actually nothing has changed much for me. When I was single I wore the same undies everyday too---only difference is they are clean now. Link to comment
tonado Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 The trick is to buy boxer underwears that are not white. You can't tell if they are dirty or not. Link to comment

I tried to explain that the soap making companies know what they are doing and that just putting it in there and letting it run was enough, but no, she says she wants the clothes to "eat the soap." I guess you basically now have a stockpile of scivvies. You are good to go for years, like Ping with her panties which she has enough of for at least a five-year-plan. Link to comment
Stats Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 This week I was shocked. I think she went 5 whole days and didn't run the washer. Link to comment
Guest blsqueaky Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 I will add mine to the pile. Everytime that I went to china, which was 5 times, I would always buy a new 10 pack, now no sooner get out of shower, already washed. This will change in the truck, becuase I flat refuse to put up a clothesline,(yeah, I will lose this argument) Nah, just buy some hangers with the clothespins on this, hang them from the coatracks. I can just imagine when she arrives, opens the sock drawer and the skivvie drawer. Link to comment
Dean Hall Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 NO, NO, NO - Squeaky Your doing it all wrong. The clothesline goes between the smoke-stacks. At 55 mph, undies are dry by next exit. Link to comment

Mick Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Our washing machine, which got plenty of use before, is now in overdrive since Salina was born. Can't have anything even remotely dirty next to the little one. Now everything is washed in Dreft or whatever you call that stuff for baby clothes, even the sheets. Link to comment
Robert S. Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 Good Lord, that stuff is way too expensive for anything but baby sheets. You better put your foot down there. Dreft is by far the most expensive. Link to comment
