Anyone else have this problem?
Learn To Sew   Intermediate WA USA Member since 4/12/05 Posts: 8229	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 5/15/12 2:56 PM I seem to have a problem and it could be getting worse or I am noticing it more. My problem is this. I put a load of laundry in the washer, add detergent, set it and push start. When it is done, I take it out of the washer and put in the dryer. I then fill the washer up again for another load, with detergent and start it. Then I leave the room and close the door. When the washer is done, I open the door to the dryer and find *again* I did not start the dryer. I am doing this at least once a month and some times once a week. I don't often forget to start the washer, just the dryer. Does anyone else have this kind of problem? I feel so silly about it, but it happens so often anymore.

I forgot to close the freezer on the frig this morning after getting my hubby his ice pack (he had knee surgery) - then we were in the living room and watched an hour of TV - then I went into the kitchen, and the freezer drawer was open. Sigh. And yes, you will forget a lot of stuff. It's not old age it is that women have varied lives, and what they do encompasses so many tasks that sometimes things get waylaid in another sector of the brain....hahaha...I had a doctor tell me this when I went in asking about my memory when I was about 40. He said, wife, mother, school aid, volunteer this and that, job, pets care, appointments, etc., ets., you may have all or several of those, and all supposed to be done NOW and correctly - it ain't gonna happen!

Date: 5/15/12 3:10 PM At least you get the laundry to the laundry room and washed But maybe that's the problem, laundry is distracting you from sewing and PR. ------ I have no idea what Apple thought I was saying so be a Peach and credit anything bizarre to auto correct.

Put a note on the outside of the washer lid/door to start the dryer. Then another note on the door to the laundry room to read the note on the washer. ------ “I don’t give them Hell, I just tell the truth about them and they think it’s Hell.” — Harry Truman

I still post notes on fridge or mirrors, place you'll be thruout the day.

How many times have I come back to the laundry to empty the washing machine and see the little detergent container winking at me?

The door on my dryer doesn't fit well and sometimes the wet, heavy clothes will hit the door hard enough to disengage the switch. I also thought I was forgetting to turn the dryer on until one day I actually saw it stop just a few minutes after I turned it on. I repositioned the clothes and set it back to work. That's my story, anyway, and I am stickin' to it. ------ Paula sewpaula.blogspot.com If I were a sewing machine, all I would have to do is lift up my foot and all my tension would be gone.

Because, yes, I often forget That kind of thing, a bit of a routine task, or if I actually did any of it or not; but this one has me worried. I've been away for two weeks. When I got back there was an envelope waiting for me, with a pattern inside. I can't remember ordering it, not at all. I'm sure I didn't order anything just before I left. ------ so many patterns, clamouring to be sewn http://patternpandemonium.wordpress.com/
