The ultimate laundry story is the college kid who mails dirty home to mom. Have known 2 or 3.

While stationed in Germany, in my early 30s, a lot of locals were amazed that I would take care of my own laundry.

Many "men" my age still lived at home, even though they were pulling in more pay then their parents. Those that lived on their own still brought their laundry home to "Muttie." They usually went to Mom for dinner every evening, as well.

I had some German friends over for dinner. I grilled up some steaks, smothered with (fresh) garlic, onions and mushrooms sauteed in butter. I prepared a lot of sides including salad, steamed broccoli in cheese sauce and home-style french fried taters. Everything was prepared from scratch. They said they would have thought I had bought it already prepared if they hadn't seen me cook it.
