I've been carting laundry to my parent's house for over a year when I was tired of 8-10 hours of one cycle to dry clothes. I went to Lowe's last night and got the thingy you posted then used panty hose around the holes in the top to trap lent and O-M-G... I washed AND DRYED two loads of laundry in ONE NIGHT!!!! THANK YOU for this tip!!! You have No Idea!!!<BR/><BR/>(PS, the extra heat is nice too but it's almost 60 here in NC so...:))GinSpaghettihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09209488117986436600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11570547.post-55196683549499213372008-12-17T20:37:00.000-06:002008-12-17T20:37:00.000-06:00I think I learn more here than I did in school.Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02900990551382691170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11570547.post-87290886889820055732008-12-17T17:37:00.000-06:002008-12-17T17:37:00.000-06:00Hannah_Rae, I have TOTALLY done the same thing!

I was just talking about you the other day! The little conference/teaching time that you and Eddie did on marriage and sex back in Flatland was one of the positive moments for me in what I now refer to as the "Dark Ages." :) I remember thinking, "I want to always be that transparent, because you never know who will really be needing something like this!"<BR/><BR/>LOVE you guys and am sooooo excited you are fostering. <BR/><BR/>I actually keep up with both your kids a bit on Facebook. Loved the pic of your whole family walking and holding hands.<BR/><BR/>THANK YOU for commenting. You guys are so very, very, very special to my heart. You were such a bright spot during those dark days of post partum blecgh.Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07276000726366302069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11570547.post-91368715016825685922008-12-17T16:32:00.000-06:002008-12-17T16:32:00.000-06:00There, I have officially now read every blog post since the beginning of this year.

This is Dee Ann Curry from Abilene, TX. I have been reading your blog for a while and decided it was time to share with you that Eddy and I are foster parents. We do emergency care and have had some incredilbe, precious, resilient children. We are heartbroken at times because of their sufffering as innocent chidren at the mercy of selfish adults. I also understand the torture of ruptured cysts! YUCK! We have 5 precious grandchildren and Kade graduated from seminary last weekend with his M. DIV. God is good. We are busy and blessed.Dee Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16787981387878102187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11570547.post-40835563853479156682008-12-17T09:27:00.000-06:002008-12-17T09:27:00.000-06:00Wow, this could well be a lifesaver for us! It never even occurred to me that the dryer exhaust could help keep our house warm.Memarie Lanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03289584923725420572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11570547.post-61448672218942255082008-12-17T08:54:00.000-06:002008-12-17T08:54:00.000-06:00If we lived where it was cold, I would definitely try this out.

I completely understand, though. Just remember... I always have a therapist on speed dial and we have a nice supply of alcohol in the kitchen. You're welcome anytime. :-)Recovering Noahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05959669295237521029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11570547.post-3037003409954322012008-12-17T07:37:00.000-06:002008-12-17T07:37:00.000-06:00Lainie, you may need to think it through. We don't have any problems with moisture - in fact, our new dryer set-up is a much needed addition of just a hint of humidity. We keep the thermostat low in the winter, but things are still really dry.Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07276000726366302069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11570547.post-91282063289529063762008-12-17T00:48:00.000-06:002008-12-17T00:48:00.000-06:00You are brilliant!!!The Mama'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17800434581890700753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11570547.post-7243904287614060972008-12-17T00:24:00.000-06:002008-12-17T00:24:00.000-06:00I just spent the last couple of hours looking over your blog.

Energy wise I just wondered how cost effective it was...<BR/><BR/>I spent so much brain power sealing up our vent so it wouldn't vent the moisture back into our home (Portland is wet enough!) because it was taking hours to dry a single load.<BR/><BR/>I just wonder about messing with my set-up.<BR/><BR/>BTW, thanks for the laugh..visualizing the white dancing legs...LOLLainiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17770018512125146175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11570547.post-48539518286364820452008-12-16T22:55:00.000-06:002008-12-16T22:55:00.000-06:00I never knew you could do this!

I'm going to tell my husband about this right away! It would help combat the cold coming in the doggy door in that room. :) This cold is so hard to take the older I get-baha.<BR/>Sorry about your recent pain and procedure. I meant to email or comment but didn't manage. Hope you get things figured out without too many more painful ovarian explosions.
