Wanna trade wives? We were having dinner last night and I told BusWife about my day dropping in on lonely, hot chicks. I got no laughter.
Lesson: Don’t tell the spouse those things, because you either get laughed at or get snide comments the rest of the night.
Ok now, off to visit more lonely real estate wimmens. Back later probably.
That was me, and thanks! I will check into them.
Washer!
Okay, Driving Husband is coming over and we’re going to stare at the instruction booklet. I have to go borrow the dolly from work so we can shove it around a bit and get at the tubes. The only thing that’s worrying me is that the instruction manual shows it being hooked up to a hot and a cold tap. I don’t know anyone that has two separate taps. I’m hoping it’ll run on one, or that’s a ‘in case of’ scenario, or something.
Further updates as the day progresses.
Laundry! In my home! At home!
Cripes, I’m an adult. A boring adult.
Oops, sorry, Rebo. Didn’t mean to mix you up, but I am definitely not firing on all thrusters. And since they’d managed to catch a New Orleans-sized rat – about twice the size of Joe Dawg the chee-hua-hua, I suspect :eek: – on one of them, they presumably work very well indeed.
Ew! But then you have to kill it yourself? Uh-oh. And it sounds like Ernie could totally get caught, too! We’ll see.
just don’t look at the poor little confused and frustrated rat’s face when you go to throw the traps away.
Am I really the only one who :snerked: at this?
(bolding mine)
:eek: 
Sleepy this morning. There was OMGTHISHASTOBEFIXEDNOW type of situation at work last night, which I thought was resolved before I went to bed… only to find out it wasn’t when I got woken up from a dead sleep by a phone call. I finally got it fixed after that, but I was so rattled from the phone ringing that I had trouble falling back to sleep. When I finally did, two storms roared through, waking me up again with all the thunder. Bleh.
And the coffee at work really really sucks. And it’s too frickin’ freezin’ in here to drink a caffeinated soda. So I’m trying really really hard not to nod off at my desk. :o (That’s me yawning.)
How would you all like the opportunity to support my chorus? How, you ask? By going shopping! 
Only if yours can cook.
You need both. That’s so your washer can wash at different temperatures. Does your apartment not have laundry hookups? Where exactly are you installing it?
The model we ordered is supposed to be specific to apartment use, and not require special hookups, just a tap. It’s also a ventless condensation dryer, for the same reason. We don’t have venting. And it pulls power from a regular outlet. It’s in the kitchen. It’s also supposed to contain its own water heater.
I can’t look at the back until Driving Husband gets here, because it’s too heavy for me to move. I only see one hose from staring down the back. We’ll see.

Take my wife, please!

Lili, the only way around needing the two taps is to adjust the water temperature yourself using the mixer (assuming you have one faucet that mixed hot and cold water come out of), and just use the cold wash option on the washer.
MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
I just got out of a meeting with my Management 301 professor. This term we have to write a paper on organizational ethics. I’ve gotten permission to do mine on the place I work - which is also the place I attend school. I can’t WAIT to do this, especially since my professor has just been selected to sit on the Ethics Board for the university.
My workplace has no ethical stance that I’ve ever been able to determine, unless getting ahead at any cost is ethical. It’s especially nice that this comes so soon after they tried to get the employees to sign a document that was, in essence, a lie generated to meet a deadline.
Can’t you get a live trap thing and let it go somewhere? The rat, I mean.
Such a lovely day outside. I really should go out and enjoy the weather while it lasts.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
No one’s ever used the words “cook” and BusWife in the same sentence before.
And dammit, just as I posted before, the boss called and ‘suggested’ we do some of this together this afternoon. So we gotta share the babes today.
Ok, outta here.
Somebody is laughing at me somewhere. It’s SNOWING at home! I’m missing the first snow of the year! ARRRRRRRRRRGH!
Hahahahaha! And just in case you didn’t hear it the first time,
HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE!
Uh oh. They shut the white noise generator off. I sit in the cube farm section of the office. We can now hear everyone’s conversations, keyboard clicks, slamming drawers, etc. And, I just figured out why my bra feels so uncomfortable this morning. The band is twisted. I’m so glad it’s Friday.
Okay, then just tell her who wants a rat relocated to their house, and who will pay for the shipping.
I don’t get why people are squeamish about killing vermin (rats, mice, etc). There are too many of them, and unless they live in a cage in a medical lab, shouldn’t be seen at all, let alone be allowed to live in the same building as I’m in.
