@AdagioM said: @Daniel that’s a very different kind of blue hair! I used to walk my baby around the living room, narrating things that we could “see” and I remember mentioning all the blue haired ladies. Women used to use bluing in their white hair to make it look whiter. That was a generation ago! My baby is 38 now… @adagiom Indeed!

I've decided no two ways about it. I want a new mechanical Speed Queen. $600 every 2 years for the electronic panel to flip out, then to buy a new one, then to hire them to remove the old one and install the new one (not my skill set) is ridiculous. I'm enjoying doing laundry by hand in the kitchen sink, wringing it out, hanging on chairs on the enclosed glass patio for a day with the ceiling fan on, and then drying in the dryer. I don't mind at all. I've been doing laundry by hand for 2 years. I want to have my ceiling leak fixed first. Also, the underside of the floor that I know could reach 7k. $$$$ in my world. The car I bought didn't cost 10k. (25k miles, small, pristine, live it, more later). The tiles give some when you walk on them and I know why. It's disconcerting and needs the right contractor asap. I've wanted an Asko for a long time but couldn't swing and can't today. I am kind of two minds, but having the kind of washer my parents had in our house would be the best. How wonderful in this fast changing world would that be. The nail in the Asko coffin for me is it has electronics. Why take that risk when you can get a new old school mechanical washer? I mean I can think of reasons but on balance I crossed it off my list.

Funeral procession. Ok. I'm done. This one hit me hard. Link to video

@AndyD Thanks for the tour. That’s beautiful.

Btw, Love the picture. I might print it, enlarge it, and put it in a Wal-Mart type frame.

I saw that! Grotriman was talking about having a party in July but that never materialized. Maybe I can nudge him or threaten to hold one myself… I’d love to see him again. It’s been ages.

I'm still see everything in a line on top of line list form. Is there a setting I can change? Is it my phone? Is it the network? Again, please help. I call roll with it but it's hard on my eyes. Thanks.

@Rontuner Too pricey considering results are not guaranteed.

@AdagioM Aww, if I had any role in your return to piano, that makes me very happy! And just doing it for you is the perfect reason! But do let us know how it goes and what you're working on!

I see dead people.

I locked myself out of my machine/ toy. "Genius Bar" is my answer. I tried everything else they said. For hours. Did you notice you iPad can sometimes divide security countdowns to 1/2 seconds. I was told I had 8.5 min. I was told I had 8 hrs after some time. No. I don't have days to spend acting like Tom Cruise in an action movie trying to rob a bank in Geneva.

I never heard of a person being fined almost $2 million and doubt anyone else has either. I think I could try to say something else about this but what do you do with something so random and absurd? It's good to know it happened though because now we know it will probably happen again. WTF

They are irresistibly beautiful, but tricky. I am reliably informed by MrsA that this white one needs little water and lives pretty much off air! Others she's had have needed a moist bathroom environment. Back in Malaysia one of her uncles had a huge greenhouse devoted to growing them. As it happens there's an orchid show in Durham next Sunday which will be fun [image: 1788234004633-8138.jpg]
