Not been clicking with any of Matt's metas over the past few weeks. Time to sleep on it and see what a fresh head can do.

If you don't get this one right away, it's a pain in the app.

Definitely struggling here. But at least the sun is shining!
So many rabbit holes. And I have to get that laundry finished...

We need to give you an attitude adjustment. There is no question that metas take priority over laundry. :lol:

OK, might actually have an idea here. Don't really feel like it's 100% but will give it a shot.

Edit: beam me up.

Ummm.... don't want to start anything. But IMHO if the guys' underwear drawers are empty, the "guys" can also do laundry. You have more important metas to tend to! ;)

Teach them
Step 1 - this is the washer - put clothes in here
Step 2 - this is where you put the soap and how much
Step 3 - press start
Step 4 - when the washer stops making noise move clothes to dryer
Step 5 - clean out lint filter and add dryer sheet
Step 6 - Start dryer
Step 7 - when dryer stops making noise fold laundry and put away. if you don't do both, someone else will dump your clean or folded laundry on the floor and you will be wearing wrinkled or wet clothes. Or you will go back to Step 1.

Step 8 - leave Mom alone so she can do the meta. She does more than enough stuff that you could be doing.

Is there anyone here from Portland Oregon? I just found out that they have an Adult Soapbox Derby. Google that and watch the videos. A great muggle event as beer is a prerequisite for participation.

Well, actually, NO ONE is allowed in my laundry room! My 40+ year old Maytags and I are very particular about all things washing, drying, folding, and ironing. 'Tis my indoor sanctuary space ;)

^^Please see my reply to KayW!

Step 1 -- Don't even think about bothering Mom when she's doing laundry!
Step 2 -- Don't grumble when Mom asks for advice or assistance on a meta.
