Seriously, there's not enough bedrooms. Or bathrooms.

Again, this is only contributing to the atmosphere. I bet there's only 1 typewriter too.

It was removed to make room for the Universal Monsters VHS collection. And the "carpet" was painted on the floor by my grandmother.

We can stay at a hotel nearby and commute for the day. I would suggest tent camping, but I am sure that the house is a zombie magnet.

I'm sure it's fine. You'd just have to make sure to stock up on red and green herbs before going.

Aln Dershowitz suspects that lawmakers may have blown the possibility of getting the death penalty for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev because of the refusal to read his Miranda Rights.

I can't stand Dershowitz's political ideology and his analysis is only ever half correct, but dammit if he's right this time. :/

I have mixed feelings on his politics and his work, but I also fear he is right, particularly that point about the public safety exception.

It is snowing. Hard. Heavy. 3" the last hour, and we are mere inches from both the April records and seasonal records. The regional attitude has gone from, "Please, spring, please come." To..."Please snow, this is history!" 8)

My Samsung washer has flooded again!! :x :x :x

They also refuse to replace the washer, instead they want to fix it again and risk this problem to potentially happen again. They would rather pay $10k in home repair than replace an $850 washing machine.

This is beyond frustrating at this point. I am looking into my options and trying to pressure Samsung into preventing this from reoccurring. But I will likely have to continue to jump through customer service hoops.

Morale of the story: Do not buy a Samsung Washing machine!
