WTF-Beta

Raging wind (by our standards) up to 21 mph with a high of 78 F. Then tonight the cold days begin going down to 45 F.

Heavy showers 4:45- 7:30 p.m. It won't put a dint in our draught.

Disgusting on so many levels.

If it's Netanyahu waiving a hand with six fingers it's fake.

Thanks!

I concede you might be right. This company makes quality products but I looked at the pictures of the backs of all of the washers and dryers. The top loading machines have to hook up to and drain into the same sink. I mentioned that. But by the time I looked at at the ventless washer/dryer combination for instance I think what I saw is a kind of electrical plug you would only be able to plug into your wall if you had washer and dryer hook ups in the first place.

My criteria already narrow my choices a lot-- '70's cement block constructed building, ground floor if two stories, elevator if two or more stories and located on the second floor or higher, low price point, low HOA fees, reasonable taxes, solid financials with an adequately funded escrow account, and hopefully in the area of the city where I live.

So we'll see.

A lot of these condo complexes have laundry rooms as an "amenity."
I think that's unpractical and kind of dumb, but it probably had to do with how these complexes were originally and still today marketed to local residents but also to people wanting to have a second home "in Florida" and the second home aspect of it made the builders think and probably rightly that having a vacation home in Florida would be enough to sell people on these buildings.

It's an interesting time in the market. It's crashing and properties are being listed sometimes for almost a year. The timing is very lucky for cash buyers. That's not me saying this. Every economist and real estate expert is saying the same thing. I'm sure I'll find something.

Those of us who love music and are sensitive to sound might sometimes be sensitive to noise and want to block it out. This makes sense to me anyway and is true in my case.

I bought a few different kinds of ear plugs and through trial and error found ones that work for me and that I'd like to recommend.

I don't shop at Temu. I think their aggressive spinning wheel/ win a free $100 shopping spree pop ups are annoying. YMMV.

But this is the brand and the product. The jar of foam pieces were too big for my ears and had to be thrown away. It's the rubber ones in their own little plastic that I recommend. I don't know if there's a way to buy this type of ear plugs without having to pay for the "one size fits most" jar of foam pieces but my guess would be yes.

As you can see, these are soft plastic. They have a "handle" on each one, so you can only wear one in your ear that's not on a pillow if you're sleeping on your side or you can wear both at any time.

They are easy to adjust to fit, easy to remove, work to knock the sound level down 30+ decibels iirc, and are washable and can be used almost forever as far as I can tell.

It's take me at least six months to find these and I like having them. I keep them in their little plastic box.

They come in handy when you don't want to hear urban noise, or hypothetically, it you have a lout of a roommate who does street drugs, invites overnight guests for sleep overs, and doesn't sleep. Just sayin.

5 stars even if you have to pay a premium for a jar of disposable foam ear plugs that might or not work for you.

I like it when inexpensive items end up being this useful.

The brand is LYSIAN. You can buy them anywhere.

Task complete. I made myself sit down and do it. I sent it around 10 p.m. I didn't screenshot the attorney's email. I linked to it. I rewrote my notes (on paper) on paper. Then I copied what I had written. Then I locked all my notes in my office cabinet. Yay!

Well, I spoke too soon. His summary won't make complete sense until I fill in the blanks and add in the read between the lines parts. So, I have to screen capture his email. I have to write a note. I have to attach my note to his screen capture. Then, I have to email all of this to my sister-in-law and copy my cousin. I've promised it by Monday evening. Will this ever end.

So I just saw a video of him saying he wasn't dead and holding up each hand supposedly as a response to a video the government released of him (this happened) where one of his hands had six fingers. I'm not convinced. At the very least Iran wants him dead, and is targeting him, because he/ we killed their head of state.

Someone put a hit out on Rhianna. A woman shot up her LA house while she, her husband, and children were home. The woman is in jail and can't make bail. A second woman riding in the car has been identified. Rhianna and her family have left LA and the US.

I'm going to keep this to the facts I know.

You can Google this story and find many people giving their opinions about who was behind this and about its motivation.

Developing.

This royally sucks.

Rhianna is my favorite pop star behind only Madonna whose career I started following as a teenager.

I love her music. I love her videos. I love her voice. I love her modeling work.

She seems like a good person, a nice person.

I think his he has dementia, and forms his decision making process on what he's told and what he wants to believe.

I know he's the center of a cult of personality, but man, even the left doesn't get this screwed over after a Democratic presidential win.

Nice. This kind of music is one of my passions in life. Thanks.

Wonderful!

Re: Reddit. I should give it a shot. It's one internet rabbit hole I've not fallen in so far.

BTW, I'm very allergic to industrial chemicals used in washers and dryers. I developed this allergy in New Orleans at the same time I developed an allergy to mold. There are plenty of industrial chemicals and there is plenty of mold in New Orleans. I know this happened then especially because after a year and a half and right before I moved my hair started falling out. It kept falling out for years.

So I avoid laundromats. Being in one and having my clothes smell like they were washed and dried in one make me feel physically ill.

@steve-miller

I will only buy one without them as a last resort. Believe me. I want them.

I have owned one of these top loading machines. I forget the size. I had a good experience with it. Although it was a hassle connecting it to the sink and then disconnecting it.

Thanks for the advice. I feel the same way. I ordered three products from LLBean many months ago with that philosophy in mind.

I found out that their M is an L on me. I didn't send anything back. I still have the over-sized sweater. I use it as an outer layer at home when it's cold. I have a white polo shirt that I should have sent back.

I bought one pair of chinos from Lands End. They seem to fit.

I bought three T-shirts and two pairs of shorts from Mack Weldon. They were a small fortune but I'm glad I did it.

I'm going to be having meetings and interviews. I can't go in rags.
I got criticized for spending $$ on clothes but I don't care. They're my clothes. I'm the one who has to wear them.

I took scissors to my LLBean sleep pants and a long sleeve organic cotton shirt last night. Now they fit perfectly.

This is The Times of India. They're ok.

I couldn't watch 10 minutes of this, but unless I'm mistaken, Netanyahu hasn't been seen in six days, and there's been no credible evidence released by the Israeli government that he's alive.

I think the jury's out. Jmho.

Dollar Tree is $1.50? It was $1.25 a minute ago. Good grief.

Roommate was given his mother's washer and dryer. I already had a dryer my neighbor gave me on the carport. We have a stacking set in the utility shed.

There are two washers and three dryers.

He's still be doing his laundry at the laundromat for the foreseeable future. I'll still be doing my laundry by hand.

I've decided if I find a place that doesn't have washer and dryer hook-ups, I can buy a portable washer that hooks up to the sink (Danby, Canada) and a portable electric dryer.

I hope I will find one, but I've decided to be flexible about this so I have more possible options.

Who knew?
