70 lbs of laundry

Not 20 pounds, not even 30 pounds... I have an overflowing contractor bag with 70 pounds of laundry.

My "one load a day" counselor M Coll. P.L, D.M.D. (that's Professor of Laundry and Doctor of Modern Detergent)

Dr. Coll has advised me to catch up quick with a quick fix at the local wash and fold. I googled them last night, but they didn't answer. I figured they were a 24 hour operation, especially if they had the likes of me as a customer.

I couldn't figure out how they could make any money by only charging the legendary $30.00 for a huge bag of laundry.

There..... There my friends is the issue. The phrase: Huge Bag of Laundry is relative.

Relative to height
Relative to upper body strength

Dr. Coll.... is a wee woman, although I have seen her lift her end of a coupla pieces of sheet rock, she doesn't make a living lifting a sledge hammer.
OK, I don't' either, but I got a good 2 feet in height on Dr. Coll... and the upper body strength that comes from 10 years of manual steering on my Jeep wrangler, and lifting three kids.

So... when I advised Dr. Coll that my bag of laundry was literally 70 lbs, she said, "Oh hush dear, it just feels that heavy. You just take that little bag to the wash and fold and pay your $30.00 dollars and call it a mothers day gift!"

Since the bag stuffed full (did I mention it was a contractor bag, I could fit a couple of ex-husbands in there... even more if they were conscious and standing up) --- pause--- I ponder whether I should leave that macabre comment in.... yup. over it. ---unpause---

First, I attempted to find out what the going rate for the local Wash n Fold is. I googled and found it's between $1.15 and $2.75 a pound, depending on what state you are attempting to get out of washing and folding your wash.

Then I weighed myself, then I weighed my bag.

That bag of laundry is a cooollll 72 lbs.

Hmmmmmmmm I don't think I'm going to find a wash n fold that'll do it for $30.00.

Perhaps, if I wash, and all they have to do is fold! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

I am going to bring this up to Dr. Coll during my next session.

(side note: I offered my brother $50.00, to wash n fold... didn't go over well. Like I always say, you don't know until you ask!... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)

Have a great day!
