If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

We don't have a deep enough counter to house a dishwasher, so we'd need to take out a wall first.

Oh, huh. I haven't even measured the space I'm thinking of. (Though really, if the dishwasher sticks out an inch or two, that's still better than washing bottles or sippy cups by hand.)

Always Anti-fascist!

Even *I* know that somebody who'd give a growing baby skim is a special kind of asshole. Not to mention I don't use it myself, either. I don't exactly have firm milk opinions...last time I went to a coffeehouse and the lady said "What milk for your latte?" I said "Cow's, please." But why is hard to understand babies have different requirements?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

They take up floor space, but actually create counter space. I know space is at a premium in your home, so maybe not, but it's an option.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

so in the past 3 days, we've waited over 10 hours for the plumber to show up (3 times) to fix something in the shower. He showed up 10 minutes after his two-hour call-window. He replaced a part, but it's not the correct one so he has taken off AGAIN to get the part he needs. Really? So irksome.

My brother's freestanding dishwasher IS the counter. It's on wheels. Same size as a built-in dishwasher.

Jessica - my grandmother used one of these for YEARS in her house.

Heh, I love how they label those "portable". I don't think that word means what they think it means.

Because books.

What sarameg and Aims said -- my parents had one of these for years, in two different houses. You just roll it up to the sink and hook it to the faucet when you want to run it. You do need a place to park it, though.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Oh, THAT kind of portable dishwasher! I was picturing the kind that's about the size of a microwave.

I still don't think it would fit in our apartment, unfortunately. Our kitchen is biggish by NYC standards, but it's still pretty narrow.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Took Liv in for an X-ray this morning. The penny was right there, lodged in her esophagus. They did't have pediatric equipment there so we drove an hour in the snow to see a pediatric gastrointerologist. Who is at this minute using an endoscope to remove said penny.

Been a loong day.
