I used to kind of like the laundromat. Fascinating people watching, and the tumble dryers are hypnotic.
Spike's Bitches 31: We're Motivated Go-getters.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
The tumble dryers may be hypnotic, but the see-through washers are FASCINATING. Look at the soap! And water! And spinnyspinnyspinny so fast!
Oh yeah. When I was a little kid, I tossed action figures in so I could watch them get caught in the torrent, and then pretended I'd left them in my pocket.

I've got very good childhood memories of going down to the laundromat & doing our laundry & showering during the winter. (The pipes would freeze solid at least once a winter. Normally 3 times or so.) I was allowed to have bubblegum! And watch network television! These were Big Things.

Every laundromat in AK that I've been in had showers. Necessary when half the population doesn't have running water.
Oh, Alaska. Huh.
That makes more sense.
My laundry is now happily tumbling in the dryer. 30 more minutes to kill.
Did I mention that I left my book at home? Yeah.
You people are all making me VERY VERY GLAD that I'm an only child.
It's not all bad. One December my older sister and brother tortured me for days by not letting me help them with the igloo they were building. When I woke up Christmas morning, I looked out the window and written in food coloring on the top was a big Merry Christmas. It was my present.
