Small children can ride in cars without baby seats, ride bicycles without a helmet, poke adults' rectums with extreme prejudice, stay up well past their bedtime with no repercussions, carry concealed weapons and gamble...but I can't take my laundry out of my washer/dryer because it's too "hot".

Christ on a bicycle, this country is a paradise of irony.

LOL

I read the title and had the same reaction bnrockin had. Then I read the OP and totally agreed.

Does that make me the wishy-washy king?

are you talking about that bit where the dryer stays locked for 5 minutes after it's done? that kills me.

although the fact that they have 2-in-1 washer/dryers is pretty cool

Be jealous, Ya-Ta!

The combo is wonderful. Only hitch is it takes 4.5 hours to complete one load. If it's towels, make it 5.5 hours. Laughing

Those combo washer/dryers can lick my taint.

I can no longer wear at least three pairs of pants and a closetful of shirts that shrank down to Lollipop Guild size, even after having washed them many times in a regular machine.

Hey, me too!!

Though I have the space, the money, and the panache for separate washer and dryer, I strongly recommend the rest of you wash by foot in the bathtub and dry by solar power on the line. Five years of this and you too can become a guru.

Hmm. Let me consult the laundry pixie on that matter and get back to you.
