Hon, I don't think that's whiny in the least. It's a very valid and understandable desire, especially when mobility is an issue.

Seriously, I think that having your very own washer/dryer is better than sex. Most of the time, anyway. And that's not dissing sex. Washer/dryer in the house is just that good.

Huh?

I'd happily schlep my clothes to the laundromat if I could get laid on a regular basis.

Don't get me wrong. When I house sat for ND & KT, I *loved* having w/d at my disposal. But I'd much prefer sex on a regular basis.

Why is everyone running away? O god, do I come off that desperate? O c'mon, the guys are safe... the women folk I could understand. Hello? Anyone still there?

BC, like that sound geek tag ever closes!

so, basically, everyone's telling me that since I now have a washer and dryer, I'll never get laid again?

I think it just means that sex will be even better.

And at least the sheets will be easier to clean.

I think the deciding factor in choosing to rent our current place was the W/D in the master bedroom walk-in closet. Which I swear is the size of my sophomore year dorm room.

Tonight at the baseball game Annabel tested my assertion that I don't care if her clothes match. She wore a pink-and-fuchsia striped shirt, orange shorts, RED socks, and black shoes. (I had no input into this outfit, since I go to the games straight from work, meeting DH and AB there.) Apparently she needed a last-minute outfit change just before they left, and that combination was what she was willing to accept.

so, basically, everyone's telling me that since I now have a washer and dryer, I'll never get laid again?

Heh. No, but it does make me wonder if I can use them tomorrow while I help you...;)

I would not want to have to schlep stuff ot a laundromat--i've always either had a washer/dryer in the place (if a house) or in the building. If it were "w/d in house and no sex vs in building with sex" I'd definitely go for the sex. But...laundromat? That might test me.

Heh. No, but it does make me wonder if I can use them tomorrow while I help you...;)

of course! I mean, after mine's done. Just kidding. I don't have anywhere to put the clean laundry yet! You are welcome to bring laundry. full size, BAY-BEE !!

maybe it's a matter of when was the last time you had sex, and do you have prospects for sex in the future. Laundry is laundry. Either way it's a chore. Yes, in the house, much less of a chore.

Congratulations on the house, Vortex!

Does it come with a Lard Jar?

Speaking of lard, I discovered after the fact that the city of Manteca, where I spent a hellishly hot weekend watching Little League, means lard in Spanish.

Why would anybody name their town "lard"?
