    I printed out a large sign and posted it on the wall behind my washing machine:
    NO REDS
    CHECK POCKETS

    This was so my hubby would at least check before he put everything in the washing machine. I'm also guilty so I need the sign too. I learned the hard way as a teenager when I put my dad's overalls in the washing machine at the laundromat and forgot to check his pockets. He had a can of Prince Albert that came open. Laundromat was not amused.

    My Ipod went through the wash and now only holds a two hour charge :( Of course my hubby was the one who found it.

    I'm sure your mind was on more important things--like quilting.

    I never thought of it going thru the washer, but keeping it in your bra sounds like a good plan to me.

    I had a candle knocked into the washer one time. Luckily I heard it. It was one of those fat 5" ones.

    you and my husband leave important things in thier pockets! screws,nuts and bolts,money and yes, cell phones!

    i do not understand it either. i empty out my pockets on the dresser top..and toss them down the clothes chute.
    he showers in the basement..so he takes his pants off and tosses them into the washer..without checking his pockets.

    i learned from watching my dad..well,not exactly watching..lol. :roll:

    he had a change jar,and a fancy wooden thing, that his watch and other items got tossed into when he undressed .

    and i do it too!

    i would use a perm marker,and write on the inside of the washer lid.."did you check your pockets?!"

    I put a lanyard on mine and often times hang it around my neck. It's great for when I'm working in the yard or driving - I don't have to fumble to find it in my purse.
