    What a relief this will be. Washing by hand would be very tiring.

    Although we have moved away from dishwashers and wash each piece as we use it instead. So much easier and faster.

    Give AI some time. Maybe you'll hear "thinking by brain would be very tiring" in the future. 😄

      I did that for a month when my dishwasher broke. Seems easy except after dinner. Then it doesn’t feel like ‘wash it as you use it’. It feels like cleaning up after dinner but with no dishwasher.

      Left to her own devices, like when I travel, Mayla hand washes everything like that despite the working dishwasher.

        If my washer dryer didn’t work I’d probably just keep buying new clothes.

        Just kidding. But I’d save it up and go to a laundromat once a week or so.

          Daniel, your life just keeps getting better. That’s great.

          Fluff n fold is what I use traveling. The ones in NYC are great.

            My dishwasher broke the second week I lived here. All the major appliances were the lowest price point machines the owners could buy at Lowe's. They had bought all of them 4 months previous. They left a folder with the receipts.

            These people left a burning lightbulb that was broken in half and an air filter that hadn't been replaced in at least 2 years.

            They clearly bought the appliances because they needed all them for their final 3 month vacation.Theynhad more money than sense.

            I decided I didn't want to replace the dishwasher.

            I'm only one person and don't host holidays and don't have dinner parties.

            I'll probably let it just sit there forever.

            I would upgrade my new clothes washer and buy a matching dryer in the future.

            I'm like to have a flat top electric range.

            Much easier to clean.

            I won't but one.

            No need.

            What I did is spring clean the stove top, and order replacement heating elements and drip pans.nThey should be delivered any day now.

            The range is a GE and its fine.

            The refrigerator is a Whirlpool and it's fine too.

            So 2/5 major appliances broke on me, 4 months after they were bought.

            But yes. Washing clothes by hand is physical labor. No doubt.

              Mik, Thanks.

              I used to use a Chinese Laundromat in New Orleans that picked up and delivered. Sometimes.

              Amazing service.

              Of course I should have been taking my laundry to a Laundromat every time, but I admit it. There were many times in my youth when I chose adventure over practicality.

              Not anymore.

                Where did you live in NOLA? I'm writing this from Marigny this morning. I grow to love this town more every time I come here...the deep culture, the food, the nightlife - as long as I don't have to be here in summer.

                Went to the Backstreet Cultural Museum in Treme' Lafitte yesterday which celebrates black culture here, focusing mostly on the Mardi Gras Indians and Second Lines. So many of the Indian suits, all beaded and hand made through the year by the various participants.

                  The Mardi Gras Indians and Second Lines are so cool! We went to New Orleans Jazz Fest in 2024. Lots of great music.

                    Glad you enjoyed the museum.

                    Yes, I lived there for a year and a half.

                    I lived in the French Quarter.

                    In order-

                    On Napoleon Ave for a few months.

                    On Esplanade Ave (as you know, across from where you are now) for a year.

                    On St. Ann St.

                      Yeah we're only a couple blocks off Esplanade on St Roch - 830 St Roch. Marigny, like so much of central New Orleans since Katrina, is getting pretty gentrified, but the deep, deep culture, shared and separate, in this town are just wonderful.
