The Laundress should be hanging it up?

Isn't this a grand image? Found it on the superb Project Laundry List site. The caption is "Extreme Hanging". I love this photo.

Critiques are needed.

Feel like I have been doing poorly at blogging (as well as everything else). Need to snap out of it. Must jolly up.

There ain't no blogging community that seems to include a "The Laundress".

What a silly goose.

Nothing like not fitting in to make an odd duck feel odder.

A Bufflehead among Cinnamon Teals?

A platypus among mallards?

I am feeling more like a loser than when I used to drift through the halls of my high school.

At least, then, I was redolent of fragrant vapors and enviably slim and generally oblivious. Obviously, I ain't got a clue. Still.

The Laundress needs to just soak in her rinse cycle for a while.

More oblivion is obviously needed and being sought.

If I had a focus or a point, perhaps I would be expressing it here.

Since I have none, well, gonna just fade away...off to bed. Clean sheets.

Love, TL

(who was hoping to meet other people who love fabric softeners and bleach)

Lots of bleach. Which must never be mixed with ammonia.

Really silly divergence:

Once got a note from a boy who later became a famous physicist.

He wrote "although you appear to float around, this does prove you are not dense."
I was touched and felt this was a compliment. My friends said I was too stupid too know I was being insulted and this was mean.

Nope. I knew this boy and we liked each other.

If we met again, we still would get along just fine.

I think that the comment from the physicist is enchanting.

As for the rest - sadly, I'm in absolutely no position to comment on having a lively blog.

I am constantly entertained by the wonderfully eclectic topics of information and links that you post.

Thank you, Shinga.

Your blog is very lively and opinionated. Also has purpose and focus.

This one is soapy. In a sludgy way, not bubbly.

Shamefully, I was begging reassurance on this post (which has now been heavily edited to lessen the tone of maudlin self-pity).

I think blogger ate my comment.

Laundress you rock! I enjoy your wandering posts as they make me think which is sometimes hard to do in my mommy fogged brain.

Smile and do something fun for yourself. Then come right back here and blog your heart out.

You have a great site! Shinga sent me a link from your knitted critters post. Adorable little creatures. Just don't want any real ones on my counters. Come hang with me, we'll get a bottle of Red Cat, sit by the fire and talk about clean clothes. I have to have fresh clean clothes on each time. Never worn twice, unless they are my jeans, all nice and soft. I think it's a fetish.;)

Laundress:
Don't you DARE hang it up, unless of course you are referring to your actual laundry. You are part of MY community of people who make life less annoying, and that is a very important community to me.
Plus, where would I learn all the wonderful web things and laundry tips and animal secrets (not to mention brain and prion stories) without you? I need you. Sounds like everyone above needs you. Please keep at it. Other laundry lovers will come, as well as anyone interested in the wild and wacky side of life, including charming young physicists.
Oh, and I will hunt you down if you stop. Didn't want to have to go there but there you have it!

Hang it up? You can't! You just can't.

And you can write about sandwiches all you want--if there is something better than eating a sandwich, it is reading about them on your blog.

Blogging can sometimes feel like yelling into the void, but there are indeed people out here listening and waiting for a new post. (this from the girl who updates maybe once a week?)
Don't hang it up and leave us hanging...
