No I am not...


...trying to entice Mr. Vonnegut by exposing parts of my body that should remain covered at all times! But I am infact attempting to illustrate the level of seriousness of my concern regarding the washer troll who now clearly enjoys taking scissors to our clothing, apparently during the rinse cycle. WTF? I put these jammies in the washer - perfectly in tact, and they came out missing a chunk...clearly a chunk that isn't simply a break in the fabric because if I gather the edges together as if to repair the hole, there is not enough material to go around my brutish thigh anymore...and NO, I swear it, the dog's head is not stuck up my arse.


Completely on another end of the posting spectrum...

This is the state of the latest neglected painting in the corner of my room... i call her "blinky" fer now :)

GOOD MORNING MS. GORGEOUS CAROLYN!!!!

HA ha! YES! I DO need some of that troll-bee-gone stuff! Do you have some?!!

From a log-sufferer of those nasty little laundry-trolls, I finally discovered what they have set in motion.

Somewhere in your laundry tub, there is a rough spot that the fabric gets caught on and the wringer cycle shreds the poor fabric all to hell - the chards get flushed out with the rinse water .... annoys me to no end because it seems to be hit, tear or miss - all very random at first.

Like the red-haired gal - her skin and body proportions are good.

P.S. have fun tonight!!!!!

THANK YOU MOM :) I'm excited!

About the washer, you think it is possible to feel around the inside of the drum and sand it smooth???

lure them out with skittles and tequila! once they are good and loopy, secure them in a tiny bird cage with plenty of breathing space (so as not to harm these tiny entities :))and gently set them on a tiny ship and send them aloft on a tiny sea with plenty of the empty tequila bottles so they can occasionally send you tiny messages-in-bottles telling you of their many tiny trips and journeys throughout this beautiful planet, sans your various clothing samples!! ta-da!!! :) I know I've had too much friggin' coffee at this point! xo

*GRIN* I love it! tequila and skittles!!! I think I could pull this one off, just need to get me some skittles :)

HEY CAROLYN!
YOU need to start a blog too damnit! That-a-way, we get to see what is going on your wild and crazy mind more often!

Coffee is great! Coffee helps me love the world and tequila helps the world love me back!!! hee hee

Caroline - you're quite a story teller - I'm going to copy your coffee-enhanced tale and put it into my Gnome book (I love that old book).

M.A. - there's no easy, clever sigue (sp?) so: yes, you can sand the offender down. Ck all around the agitator, up and over the drum cage and even under the upper rim (JIC clothing can slide up to it). I've found clothes get caught under the agitator or somehow sloshed up over the top of the cage with a very full load .....

Biddie said...

P.S. If you do sand some little bump down, be sure to put some kind of enamal paint or resin-type of cover on the raw metal so it doesn't start rusting all over your clothes
