hehe, I break it down to whites and non-whites. So male, eh ??
Well, IME a true male doesn't exactly know where the washing machine and dryer ARE...so you're ahead of the game
12 loads would take me 3 days to dry with my drier!! (And a couple of weeks to wash - with my dicky machine and low level of motivation!!)

I'm glad you're on top of it!!
Well, this has been driving me crazy - I really don't think I've done any laundry since Christmas or very close. I normally do a load of laundry every day or so - I HATE having dirty laundry piled up! Three days to dry? I'd have that checked!!
Those Pink Ladies are nice aren't they? I'm disinclined to buy other apples now.
Oh Man, have you tried the Jonogold?
They are the current HIT in this house, I only first discovered them two weeks ago!
They're so rare over here and we pay dearly for them. Walmart had a pallet load of them and they sold out in 2 hours @ $7.00 a bag (3 pounds) I bought 2 bags and treasured them dearly.
At least white grapes and strawberries came down in price, I bought both today. I'm eating Empire Apples as we 'speak'. My after dinner snack - 2 sliced up with cinnamon sprinkled on.
Yum snack

I used to love the Pink Ladies, but it became pretty apparent that there is a very specific window for their freshness, they're on the shelves here quite often, but every time I would buy some, they'd be mealy - now I pass them over for Jonogolds - I think the average price for them around here are $1.79 # Strawberries are $4.99 for two pints, but will come down in price by mid to late February.
Yegads! I throw everything in the same load and just wash it.
I think ive only had 1 or 2 accidental 'pink's. New clothes get washed seperately though for a few washes.
Yeah i must admit, the smell of new clothes is fantastic!
I don't think I've ever gotten an accidental pink - but a white sock has slipped in with the blacks before.
Poor white sock!
WOWSER, and I thought my whites, pastels, darks-not jeans, tans, denim and separate "unmentionables" piles were alot! You get the gold star M! I thought I had a lot of green but you guys must REALLY have a lot...it gets two whole piles!
Well, yeah, I've always been a little odd about my linens...I used to iron sheets too
But it breaks down like this:
Dark Greens - I have 2 large bath sheets (humungo towels), 2 pairs of jams
Light Greens - Bob has 2 med towels, our hand towels, 1 pair of jams and just about all of our napkins fall into this load - (at least this time of year)
Blacks
Dark Blues
Light Blues
Pinks/Purples
Red (sometimes these three will get combined)
Khahki/yellows/Brown (sometimes these three will get split up depending on how many)
Whites
Sheets
So - that's the break down and I had a lot of EXTRA clothes since my dryer's been out - so I had double loads of colors.
I'm making progress, 3 loads left!
