This is for my friends, who know who they are, who spent all weekend yelling at me to stop buying scratch tickets and to drop off my laundry instead of doing it myself. They argued the difference in price would be two dollars, the cost of exactly one scratch ticket.
Reality:
Laundry: 22lbs
Price per pound: $0.60
Total cost for drop off laundry: $13.20
Cost to do 22lbs of laundry myself:
Wash: $2.75
Dry: $1.25
Total: $4.00
Price differential: $9.20 or approx. 3 Scratch Tickets + 1 small machiato

jello-o, you have no idea how right you are. every shade of pink, from baby's-ass to Wet-and-Wild magenta.
Also, cuppie, WHO HAS 22 POUNDS OF LAUNDRY?
Oh. I see. It is pick on Cupcake Day. Well, thank you for doing it here on my own blog instead of taking it to Defamer. Little Brother, do you want to weigh in here with a "Nancy Smells Like Poop?"
I guess I am not the most careful laundry washer. No, I'm not a big sorter. And since I don't sort, I'm certainly not going to pay someone else to sort for me. I hand wash the hand washables; I dry clean the dry cleanables. Isn't that enough?
LaHipster, I can't believe you never noticed before this weekend how much I like pink. Have you looked at this blog?
Also, I had more than 22lbs. 22lbs was as much as would fit into my bag. As I mentioned, a few times I think, I was in the middle of a desperate laundry situation.
I don't know why I ever listen to you Indie Rock kids.
