Share? Eww.

Each bedroom should have a small walk in closet with stacked washers and driers.

I have no idea how laundry works. I've never done a load in my life. Truth.

You should learn. Super simple.

We'll disagree on Dish. When did you have them? Seems they really stepped up their game recently.

I have amazing picture, 120+ channels, 3TB HDD DVR, built in Sling Box for remote viewing/mirroring, ability to download recorded programs to external devices and watch off line, ability to add external HDDs to DVR if I use all 3TB onboard... all for ~35% less than Direct TV. My install was great & customer service has been awesome.

Best TV service I've ever had (my fourth provider over the years).
My FiOS internet is spectacular compared to Comcast, which in my area has a 250GB hard data limit per month. I'm predominantly using YouTube, Steam, NetFlix, and Plex over the internet, this just isn't an option. Especially not when games are becoming 50GB each, or streaming a season of one HD show over the course of a month is 25GB.

Dish Network was OK when I got it, they were flaky sometimes, but in my specific area, they've had repeated disputes with local affiliates. They're currently in one with KATU. Which means no ABC ... again. Just no. I'm not playing that game.

There's other issues with satellite that I don't feel like dealing with again, too.

I'm sure it is, but not necessary. I've made it quite a while so far.

So, if Mrs. mjmjr25 goes for a trip to visit friends and family, does she come home to a huge pile of dirty laundry?

There was, and still might be, a place near the ECU campus that was a laundromat/bar with a few arcade cabs. Place was kind of fun as it always had a good crowd, and usually a rowdy one at that.

Laundromats. That word certainly takes me back.

I've been doing my own laundry since I was 8 and I currently do all the laundry here. My wife calls me the "Laundry Master."

Oh, and I hate people touching/folding my clothes. One of those things where I feel like I'm the only one who does it "correctly." Same thing goes for washing dishes.

I also knew how to make a slick crease by the age of ten. I had to do "Luke Loads", that included my clothes, sheets, and towels. Had to iron my own clothes as well. Kids should hold their own weight. Doing laundry sucks, but a five year old can do it.


QUICK!!! Name a game where your character has to go to a laundromat.

Smile: Work is slowing down.

Frown: The time has come for my annual poison ivy festivities. Face, genitals, yeah...crushed. I feel like poop.
