You aren’t the only ones. Still struggling here on the tax front - and we don’t ‘make’ any money at all but we have an ACA issue [OT - slight rant - luckily got a denial letter from OH Job and Family that unemployed adult daughter living at home is not eligible for Medicaid (something that SSA stills has a problem with that our son isn’t eligible either) - one of the other unintended consequences that State/Federal bureaucracies seem to never get a handle on - what the left hand is doing, that the right hand has no damn clue about] complicated by the fact that my hubby is having back/med issues again.
Lucky for us - we have no investments or dividends or income or life. I just want to get out of this idiotic place and go back to somewhere that the people and their State Representatives actually use (at least some of) their gray matter.
Repeal the 16th Amendment and get rid of the IRS - get DC out of our wallets. It would be a start.
Peiper is now our in-house expert on washers and dryers, so feed all those burning laundry questions to him. Avoid the brainless “I’ve got grass, blood, and motor oil stains. What should I do my clothes in?” kind of questions because his pat burning laundry answer is “a quart of petrol and a match should do them in as well as anything”. [rimshot]
The appliance he bought is so darn hi-tech it deserves a post of it’s own. So cutting edge that there aren’t even any plans to sell the thing in the USA. You even need 3D goggles and surround sound to properly visit the webpage. From what I understand, it hardly even uses water. Instead it has some kind of air injection system that takes a cup or two of water and a teaspoon of detergent, then generates tons of high velocity suds that blast your clothes clean. A quick rinse, and then it dries them in the same tub they got washed in. A whole load of laundry in 15 minutes, and it’s dead silent. It’s beyond eco-friendly, it’s eco-passionate. Trees grow taller whenever you do a load. And if you get tired of talking to it - interactive voice control, with your choice from 9 sexy foreign accents! - you can run the washer app from your Hudl, iPad, or smartphone, because the darn machine has WiFi built in!
I don’t usually wax effusive about home appliances, but my goodness, didn’t he score.
Maybe so but I bet it still loses the left sock.
