lol!!!! jim

I'm 6'4" and 390 lbs. In a Splendide combo, a pair of my jeans, shirt and underwear is one load, two towels and the kitchen stuff is another (we like bath sheets, the big ones) is another and my DW changes clothes at least twice a day for the third. If we didn't keep up, we would be at the laundry mat a couple of times a week!

That being said, now that we are retired, I am thinking about getting her a couple of units and letting her take in laundry. It's time she started carrying her share of the laod!

Now we turn the electric hot water heater off and run the gas only when needed. As said before offer to take them out for a nice dinner and forget the wine unless they do indeed drink wine.

Wine, dinner, whatever...the point was, make an offering indicating you appreciate their hospitality and all will be well. I assumed these folks know their friends well enough to determine an appropriate offering. Sheesh.
