Does she contract out? My wife gets the mail and, well, there go virtually all the game fees.

For those comments regarding their significant other doing the laundry. LUCKY YOU haha. I live with my dad right now. I should be moving out within the next 6 months and getting an apartment with my girlfriend who will do my laundry (she has offered to do so already). I'll fork her some spending money like Mark. Good idea Mark!

... good idea until she pops up at the first game when you're checking out the hot moms in the third row.

You're bound to wind up with pink-and-black stripes ... and there's only so many cancer-awareness charity games you can work to use all of those. :rolleyes:

You could claim this on your income tax as a business expense, but then your wife would have to claim this as income.

I would not trust anyone to do my laundry. I would be to afraid they would screw it up. It is not like it takes a long time. And if you have one of those new washer and dryers, man that is like stealing. Some of you are getting hustled. ;)

Peace

The quandary I always have as I stand before the washer with my ref shirt.....is it a white or a dark?? Some of you more domesticated types please help:

This really about the kind of shirt it is. But I wash the all my shirts in darks and in cold water. And I only wash my shirts and undergarments which are all UnderArmor stuff other than socks, so those clothes do not bleed. I never throw my stuff in with other clothes that are not officiating stuff.

Peace

I am lucky to have someone to do my laundry, usually before I'm done with my first cup of coffee in the morning. I have two uniforms and had no need to drag the second one out until I worked two games in a day.

She who does the laundry (my live-in MIL) does my uniforms separately and washes everything together. No fabric softener, quick wash, minimal detergent. I mean, it's not like we're rolling around in the mud in these uniforms.

When Do We Exchange Recipes ???
 
I wash my official's jersey with my dress shirts that I wear at my day job. Just a little bit of liquid detergent. Tumble for a few minutes in the dryer, and then hang it up on the indoor line to dry. Never had a problem.

Sheesh...just buy a new shirt, dude. Officialschoice has them, cheap.

Yes, it is. :)

Purchase Officials has them 2 for $33 if you don't want to use OC.

Time to retire your lucky shirt. Maybe frame it and hang it over the mantle.

$12.50 ea. at OC. Just need to call so they don't rip you off on shipping.

No thanks. I'd rather deal with Purchase and pay an extra $4 a shirt.

If I ever considered this, ever, it would have to be one of my Sat Rec Ball games. :o
