It's the laundromat's ONLY virtue.<br /><br />Darryl: Yeah... a grill is JUST what I need! Heh.<br /><br />Morgan: Yeah, knowing what to leave out can be a real problem. :D<br /><br />Kris: Thanks for the ofs link. And it ain't so much doing laundry I hate, it's the frickin' <i>laundromat.</i> Like you, I did all my laundry every week back in previous lives. Or someone did it for me... whatevah.<br /><br />Jimmy: I don't own an iron. There are some things I just WON'T do!<br /><br />Alison: Dang, Girl... this crud of yours has hung on quite a while... I hope you get well soonest!<br /><br />BR: We're feeling quite a bit better today... thanks!<br /><br />Mike: Yeah... inertia plays a big part in the laundry equation, don't it? :p<br /><br />Virgil: On the TMI front: we have no need for underwear.

Once was at Sheppard, I was just too damn lazy to go do laundry. The second was once I got up here...there was laundry somewhere in the VOQ area, but it wasn't my building...reference above mentioned laziness.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07315182324399732963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-569352194467763682009-10-21T20:55:59.579-06:002009-10-21T20:55:59.579-06:00Bummer Zulu on the dental front, my friend.

I've been signed off work for a week though I still have access to work email. You would think I would have something to say but I have zero mental energy. As well as the physical side of bronchitis which is a nasty little bugger as viral infections go thats for sure. I got an inhaler though.

On the Laundry front, I always liked the laundry matt only because I could use as many washers as I needed and dry most everything in one dryer. Now the ironing, that's a different story!!<br /><br />BT: Jimmy T sends.JimmyThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00595473108896212170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-85726009251256247502009-10-21T14:34:15.153-06:002009-10-21T14:34:15.153-06:00Dental stuff - ick on all fronts.
