SLAP SLAP SLAP!

Boy....you'd better have your PF Flyers on 'cause I'm comin' after ya (with a Crepe Myrtle switch, nonetheless)! ;-)

Now honey, you need to take the Gayometer test and get in touch with your feminine side!
 
Whip me!

Oh umm... right, feminine side. Let's see....

I know how to sew, cook, vacuum, do laundry, wash dishes, I can't interior decorate but I'm working on that, I go to the mall, I drive a VW Beetle for goodness sakes, and hell I dunno. If that ain't gurly enuff for ya' I dunno wat is LOL.

Honestly, I'm not a "manly man" as the gayometer tells me. I do have alot of feminine traits (not as much as I should have I guess). I'm not like some of these brutes that live around here in the country. You know, goes to the bars, chews, smokes, drinks, cusses, beats his wife/gf/shack-up and drives his Silverado at the same time while cutting people off on I-10.

Cajun, yes, but not barbaric lol.
 
Oh no, I only got a 22 LOL . When does my 89 filter flo turn vintage to get my that extra point? Still I think some of the questions should be weighted more heavily.. i.e. while I don't exactly relish doing laundry when I am doing it I always have to have a peek in the machine now and then, that should be worth 3 points not one..
 
OK well here is my score.

100% BUTCH!

OK Just kidding how about a 29, oops I missed the queen level. Oh well, come see me in person and you may change your mind!

43.

A few questions had to fudge a point, such as cleaning the dryer lint filter after each load because that's not necessary on my dryer, and using the correct water level and cycle when washing because my washer figures that automatically.

Or maybe 44, if I can get an extra point on question E4 because my washer can play music even though I don't listen while washing.
 
Power Washer's better than Typical User.

Again, so far, my mom is at the bottom of the chart (and losing points) and Robert Unimatic rules over her as the Laundry Queen of them all.

Everytime I find wet clothes in the closet, everytime she goes to the dryer to take clothes out before it's done, everytime she washes a small load on high speed and low water level, everytime she doesn't use ATC she sinks further and further and soon, she'll be in the negative numbers.

Hello? turn the heat down on the dryer, you don't need to bake the clothes! They won't shrink when you use Medium or Medium high. High is good for towels and washcloths. I love thick towels and they need alot of heat. Underwear, jeans, cotton stuff, medium high. MH is like a perfect balance between speed and gentleness. It just doesn't quite cut it with my big towels. Thin stuff, PP, wrinkle-free, medium. I don't have no delicate stuff so I've never used 'low' (exception, my old GE's "low" is like "medium" on a WP dryer and "high" was Dante's Inferno). But my mom's default cycle, HOT, timed cycle. AAARRRRRGGHHHHH!!!! It's a dryer, not a microwave.

Ugh, ranting again, oops.
 
Just took the test, I rate a 29. But I did cheat a little, becuase the last time I used Salvo was when I was a boy, but I still knew about it even then! I know how to do the "Sheer Look" too. Nep.

P.S. I like hearing about the other washers. It seemed like in the Pittsburgh area, there were only 2 brands of washers - Westinghouse and Sears Kenmore. The Westinghouse were mostly the top loaders.
 
Can you go below 0?

My mom just dropped through the floor.

She has a box of Tide, but when it got low, she emptied a box of Gain into it. So now it's Gide. Then I poured the last bit of Fabric softener that she put water in to get the rest out of the bottle so it was a weak formula of 90% water and 10% FS.

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

-10 : Laundry loser!
 
Oh dear!

Would a mom be a reverse laundry geek if she put Trend in the bath water for bubble bath? OUCH, those phosphates! LOL
