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.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

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.

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.

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.

I love how it uses "smoking drugs and drinking" consistently as if it's one word.

Oy, Cash! But, at least it will be out of there.
Snowpocalypse report from Iowa:
Home today. I tried to drive to work, but had to hit the brakes while on the Interstate drive to the South side of town and my car didn't stop and fishtailed! Yikes!
I immediately got off, turned around and came home. I called in and they were okay with it.
It has been snowing steadily all day, though it just slowed way down. The temp is about 5º with a windchill below 0.
My sister got up and shoveled but you can't tell anymore!
After I called in I took a nap that wound up lasting 3 hours! Now, not feeling so great. I maybe coming down with a cold.
