  1. washers and dryers do not belong inside where you live ANYWHERE. let alone someones bedroom. snappy when i lived in the projects my grandmother got an illegal hookup (strings!) for a washer and dryer, and it was in the kitchen. a regular SMALL kitchen. it was right next to the kitchen table. she used to wash like seriously one thing at a time lol. the kitchen always reeked like bleach and burnt clothes. you had to hook up the washer with a hose to the kitchen sink when you used it which would cause our dirty water (i think dirty water) back up into other people’s sinks. but i think a few people in the line had the illegal hookups so no one cared i guess. the dryer had a vent that was attached to the kitchen window to shoot out the steam.
    ah project livin gotta love it!

    so that’s why i think im biased about having laudnry in a home. gross.

  2. “Expert, Benson is so gonna kick your patootie for that one!”

    I ain’t scared of that Goomba!

    Last night we went to a holiday dinner with the most motley of people in attendance. And I thought a PLUSA gathering had the oddest!
    There were two older ladies (probably in their late 60’s), born/raised in the bronx and as Italian as they get!
    I couldn’t stop laughing. Not cause they were funny, but because they were such characters.

    Here’s some things they said:
    “My nephew turned liberal, maybe it was the school he went to.”
    “Tiger needs to keep his sausage in his pants.”
    “I’m a conger, I like younger men.” To which I responded, ‘OMG, you’re a liberal. What school did you go to?’

    My partner, friend (black friend) and I were sitting across from them and we were just waiting for a racial slur to come out of their mouth. Of course I was trying to rile them 🙂

    The topper was when one of them asked another black woman:
    “Where are you from?”
    “Ethiopia”
    “Are you sure because Nigeria is nothing like Ethiopia.”

  3. Ok…time to give in to the sick sleepies. If I don’t come back, have a great weekend everyone!
    (and if it does indeed snow, will someone go out and make a snow angel for me? please? thanks!)

  4. dipster, no, not duke’s… the one across from the fed ex place near starbucks..

    thank GOD i wasn’t wearing the rat fur coat, she probably would have thought i was one of them!

  5. I always wonder what folks are thinking when they put the laundry in the kitchen. I think one of two things will happen…lint in the food (and depending on one’s cooking skills, that may not be such a horrible thing!) or your freshly washed clothes wind up smelling like garlic and onions. Not good.
