--
All my clothes go into the warm wash cycle together. Any garments that can't cope with that are weaklings and are culled from the herd. I've got better things to do with my time than sort laundry into little piles. -- Ross TenEyck

Heh, I love it. That is exactly my philosophy of laundry. Admittedly, I do try to quietly hide this from visiting family members who are too delicate to cope with the Darwinian death gauntlet method of laundry.
I admit to trying to keep the handknit socks in a different load from the velcro diaper covers, but that's the only concession I'm making.
I have a hard enough time trying to sort it into the piles to get put away, with three kids in the house.[1]
[1]currently have trained eldest to lug baskets up and down stairs for me. Someday I hope his discrimination circuits will be up to putting it all away. Currently training him on that for dishes.

Date: 2004-06-09 11:58 am (UTC)I am apparently the only person on the planet who routinely divides laundry into six or eight color-coded piles, even though some of the piles only contain two or three garments.
I get *lots* of use from the "small load" setting on my machine (for greens and reds), as well as "extra large" (for whites and blacks).
I mean, sure, you have more than enough demands on your time and attention already, but I'd expect *somebody* else in the world to be as ... uh ... anal about their laundry as I am.
