The buildings with laundry rooms may well have been built as rental apartments. This can be both good and bad depending on how they split up the utilities when they did the conversion.

I’d still go for one with laundry hookups.

You have the coolest hobbies!

Always enjoyed their stuff.

” 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.”

Lots of discussion on those little portable laundry machines on RV forums. Consensus is that they don’t work very well. Too small, too slow, nothing gets clean, anything larger than crew socks comes out a tangled mess.

Insist on a place with laundry hookups.

I followed that Reddit for a while. Very active. Generally goes like this:

“My kid plays football and smells like a goat. How do I get the funk out of his clothes?”

“Wash them in for a long time in hot water with a detergent containing lipase.”

“Oh noes! I can’t do that because:

I won’t use chemicals, only vinegar, baking soda and miracle natural products that influencers sell on TikTok.

I only shop at Herrods/Dollar Tree/yard sales/Tiffany/dumpster dive and can’t find that detergent. And Procter/Gamble is a terrible company because … reasons.

I refuse to use hot water, Mama told me it sets stains, bad for environment, too poor to pay to heat water, no water heater, live in cave.

I only use the shortest wash setting. I’m astonishingly busy every minute of the day and night and can’t take time to let the washer run. Electric costs a fortune and I use only the most expensive European washing machine you can buy because the salesman told me it would wash anything in ten minutes. Repairman comes next week - hope he can get it running again”

”Oh. Your kid stinks because you make him wear dirty clothes. Why do you ask questions if you don’t want answers?”

I love Reddit.

Wild!

Sorry to hear this is happening to him. Hope the medication is effective!

Started watching Young Sherlock on Prime. It’s fun!

You sign a contract with the agent, now called a Buyer’s Agent. This is fairly new, BTW.

If you don’t end up buying anything you owe the agent nothing. If you do buy something, the agent’s commission will have been built in to the price you paid so you really don’t see it.

Why don’t you call the guy who listed the condo you like and ask him how it works? I’m sure he’d be happy to explain everything to you.

That’s what happened when I tried planting grocery store green pepper seeds

The plants I got were very small with only one or two tiny peppers.

If you like the listing agent maybe you could work with him to find a place.

Worse than the last Trump administration? Alternative facts and such?

The race is on!

Beautiful things!

The various RV forums are all discussing that hailstorm. Many RVs were destroyed. Even Airstreams didn’t survive.

Also from a thrift store, this book chronicles wooden boat building in/around Lake Muskoka, Ontario, Canada, 1900 through about 1970.

Beautiful things they are, and the photographs are wonderful!

@AndyD

Beautiful pictures!

Just watched a video where a guy picked a slice of tomato from a McDonalds hamburger and planted it. It grew remarkably well!

Odd looking, though. Shaped more like a Roma than a slicing tomato. Maybe they ship better or something. Grew it in a 5 gallon bucket filled with potting soil. Easy enough.

Gonna try it!

Oh dear. I’m so sorry this is happening.

I’m not far away. Please let me know if I can help in any way.

Imagine that.

I wonder if your doc could prescribe some sort of rigid boot for you to put on for piano playing.
