I’ve written about some of my laundry issues here:
And here: Clean Underwear and Hard Times
But some new issues have come up.
A lot of sudden wear and tear showing up on my clothing. I attribute a lot of it to this:
I picked it up at the tail-end of a garage sale in Kerrville, still in the box, evidently never used, for $7.00 US. I thought it would make a great addition to the old Kenmore by offering a means of rinsing one load while another was being washed. Neither of the two uses a lot of water, but this one uses a bit less than the Kenmore. I was hugging myself with joy.
But I believe this thing wears out clothes instead of washing them. At this rate I’ll be running around naked under my outer clothing before another change of underwear’s required.
My current thinking is I’m going to have to figure out something to do with this thing that doesn’t involve washing clothes.
Meanwhile maybe it’s time to test a theory I’ve been chewing on for some while that nobody would notice or care if they saw a 68 year old man in town doing business, buying groceries and chicken feed, bare-assed naked.
Maybe they’d like it better than one who has plenty of cotton and chinese poly-whatchallit covering his privates, but stinks to high heaven.

Old Jules, that was hilarious! I mean, I’m truly sorry you have these problems with washing, but they are written about with such good humor! Brilliant!
You phrase that you “have to figure out something to do with this thing that doesn’t involve washing clothes” made me thinking straight away.
Can I add my suggestions? I just love puzzles like that!
1) a flower vase ( how “mimi” is that? Well, anyway, it can be a large flower vase)
2) a cupboard
3) a dust bin
4) you can draw eye lashes above those holes on the lid and it will be a garden statue which can open the mouth!
(ok, I’m not sure how weird I might sound right now. Maybe, pretty weird, but it was fun)
I loved the music! Thanks so much for adding it to the post! I’m going to listen to it again. It’s a magic kind of music which makes people want to jump and be happy 😀
Hi Alexandra: I like the eyelashes idea. Glad you came by. Gracias, Jules
there was an old guy who walked around naked in Berkeley for years.
Hi joem: Before, or after the arrival of our European ancestors? Thanks for the visit and read. Jules
Love the lovely videos music, thanks for sharing….. 🙂
The Tale of My heart: Gracias, Jules
Hi Jules,
Thanks for sharing your laundry laughter. You sure it aint those chickens bullying your laundry when your looking the other way ? Great tunes too!:)
Thanks TOMH: and for the visit. Jules
whitbyjblogohn: You might be right. ‘Sure’ isn’t a word gets used much around here. Gracias, Jules
There was an older fellow that came back to the town we grew up in dressed as a women and went around to some houses asking stupid questions. Everyone knew who it was and word got around in a minute or two. No one said a word and after a while he left and all had an excellent yuk yuk.
You’ll be okay Jules. Do what ya gotta do but don’t stick around in town too long at one time.
One Fly: At my age I doubt anyone would notice if I dressed like a woman. Are their clothes cheaper? Jules
Funny! Methinks your mini-washer is the culprit! 🙂 Definitely.
Fourbluehills: I expects you’re correct. Thanks. Jules
Thinning t-shirts are either being rubbed raw or dissolved by chemicals. You must be doing some extra work lately, rubbing those t-shirts too hard against your skin. 😀
Ed: You figured that right about the work. But maybe I’m just rubbing them longer between washings. Gracias, Jules
Maybe you can refactor the whole machine into a pizza dough mixer. 🙂 I’ve seen many pizza bakers in white T-shirts and holes. If the pizza is good who cares bout the holes? Take care Jules x
Anita: You have a point. With the weather about to become colder and me wearing 18 layers of sweatsuits, jackets, you name it when I’m home what’s a few holes between friends, and my clothes would have to be fairly obnoxious not to be friends with all their neighbors they share the winter months with. Gracias, Jules
