How to do laundry... learning by accident

so after years of doing my own laundry, i learned something new a few weeks ago.

now some background on my laundry history. some of you know that I can be a bit of a penny pincher sometimes so I try to cram as much as I can into each load for the washer and dryer. also I absolutely HATE ironing, in fact, i do not even own an iron.

Normally, some of my clothes come out wrinkled and im like... damn that sucks, but i wear it anyways to work since its not a big deal to me. one time i didn't have that much laundry to do, but had too much for one dryer (even for my standards of stuffing it), but seemed too little for two. Eventually, I did suck it up and spent another $1 to split it into two loads, but then I had another dilemma, if I put it at normal temperatures, it would be way too hot (you see they raised the price from 75 cents to $1, although they give you the extra 16 minutes for the quarter upping it from 48 to 64, it is quite a long time to have clothes exposed to that much heat), so I decided to put it on delicate.

So I go watch some tv while waiting for it to be done and to my surprise, when I went to get my laundry, stuff that would normally have wrinkles did not. WOOHOO, so my lesson learned... spend a couple extra bucks and dont stuff the washer or dryer. or maybe I should just hang dry everything, it would save me money and be more 'green'... hmmm something to think about.

Write me in

So I guess im a bit late for this, but today is election day. For those of you who are undecided you should write my name in for President of the United States of America. I do not really have a platform for a campaign slogan, but I have to be a better choice than the guys on the ballot. As for those who have decided, change your mind and vote for me.

Technically I am not old enough to run for President yet, which if you ask me is age discrimination, but since the new trend is to start early here is the official launch of my campaign for POTUS. I will become eligible in the 2016 Presidential Campaign so you all should start donating to my campaign now and get in early.
