Reply to It finally needed some repairs after 33 years. by OldPolishProverb

đŸ„čI love this! đŸ€My dearest wish is that my similar-looking nat-gas commercial Speed Queen lasts this long! đŸ€žđŸŒ

ETA - I got it on Craigslist for $125 about ten years ago. A “top 10” purchase of my life so far!!!

For sure. Was tongue-in-cheek actually
 I was just attempting to match the hyperbolic hysterical comment of someone who thinks having dogs in the kitchen is “living like a dog”, and that they are “filthy beasts”.

I actually love dogs though I can’t have one right now (gone from home too much). And I understand that of course people cannot leave kids in cars. They sure are walking germ-boxes tho, no one can deny that!

Ewwww. Like all shopping carts with those plastic panels and straps where the kids go
 gross.

One of the reasons I completely LOVE winter - it’s normal to wear gloves all the time so you never have to touch that stuff bare handed.

You’re aware that children are HIGHLY unsanitary yes? I see them in stores all the time picking noses and snotting / coughing on and touching everything. We don’t ban THEM, and talk about “beyond gross”!

While I don’t agree with entitled aholes, sometimes you just can’t fight stupid.

Got a friend to snowshoe beside you maybe and make a path for the walkers??

I think Italian ancestry is localized to certain parts of the U.S., I definitely wouldn’t say there are “lots or many” outside the east coast (NYC, etc) or maybe Chicago. Like I live in Minnesota and it’s mainly all Norwegian / Scandinavian heritage. Lotta folks seem happy with the Folgers lol 😂

I’m an American and drink espresso at home, with steamed milk or cream/half & half. I usually use my Nespresso as my $$ Breville is too much hassle to use / clean. The Breville grinds beans even but I have failed to get the hang of it so haven’t used in a couple years.

Espresso take a different machine and have to buy actual espresso coffee for it (capsules for the Nespresso, otherwise beans or ground) which is NOT the same as buying regular normal coffee (beans or ground) so I thought your statement made total sense đŸ€·đŸ»â€â™€ïž

Good to know, thank you! Will file that info away on the very unlikely chance I find myself on that side of the pond ever haha.

Even I do have two “espresso” machines (a Breville and Nespresso, if the latter even counts to the purists) and a French press at home.

But sometimes you just want that plain ol’ Mr. Coffee Folgers :)

Agree with this, parents please don’t start your kids out with the “too much dust gathering junk” hoarding habit! It’s so hard to break later and you have to drag that albatross through life. The tree planting or money in a special account idea is a good one.
