Three!

[John G.]

John G you obviously strive for excellence in your work. What is so bad about acknowledging it when you achieve it?

I hope your boss put you in for a hefty raise

She's trying to get me a promotion. Signs of growth and development are a part of that.

Vibes she gets you the promotion.

Thank you. I've been doing the job for the past two years and have only grown it, with a lot of help from Krista.

[John G.]

I have never heard of a laundry card.  It sounds easier than saving a supply of coins.   Do you update it online or at a machine in the laundry room?

Online.

I like it. I wish I had had something like that back in the day.

[John G.]

I went to Lowe's because I had to get J.B. some toys to destroy (he likes dried corn on the cob). I picked up a new lawn sprinkler as the old one simply broke earlier this week. When I went out to hook up the new, I also watered the plants, because they were dying in the heat. I took a look at the fruit on the olive tree and noticed that one olive had turned dark pink overnight. That means they are ripening. Really cool stuff.

Esteban forgot our dance lesson was at 11 this morning, so he missed it, which was fine with Joy and me. We're both otherwise in our heads after the news about Jan. Anyway, we met up with Esteban for breakfast instead. As we were finishing up, he remembered he was late for another class.

He went off to class and he used his dance towels in that. He sent a text of the one he picked out of the bag. It had Jan's name on it, which can be considered a bit of a coincidence. But it also bore the date 7-26-06 on it, which was 13 years to exact day that she died.

[John G.]

After rereading GEE this week, I find that an eerie coincidence.

[John G.]

I need a nap.

Hello, everyone.

[Jeanne]

Laundry is done for today. There's some cleaning to do, but that may or may not get done.

[Jeanne]

Our weather is cooling, thankfully. In West LA it's been in the high 80s, but that's too hot for this weather wuss. Low 80s are much more tolerable.

[bk]

First off, condolences to TCB and JohnG. 

[bk]

Second off, back from a bacon and cheese omelet, picking up no packages, and putting gas in the motor car.

[Jeanne]

Jane, ChocZero isn't really sold in stores. It's a small company in Fullerton, CA and they feel they can't handle a lot of shipping. It's available on Amazon. The company's website says that they'd like to see some small businesses become retailers. I tried to convince my hairdresser, Richard, to do that. In his salon he has a small display counter that he calls the chocolate bar and he sells fudge and some other types of chocolate. So far he hasn't budged. It would be a good arrangement for some small businesses, I think. Do you know any small shops in your area that might be game?

[Jeanne]

Bruce, please be careful exercising in the heat.

Re: laundry facilities:
We have a small laundry room in my building--just one washer and one dryer. It's $1.50 for the washer and another $1.50 for the dryer. (All quarters, but there's now an app as well.) The local laundromats, of which there are few, can be a better deal, because their big dryers can handle three loads at a time and it's cheaper. But parking is scarce near these places.

[Jeanne]

A few apartment buildings in the area have a W/D in the unit, but those apartments usually start around $2500/month. I'd kill for my own washer and dryer, but housing here is terribly expensive.

little joke here.  I'll refrain. I'm not much more savvy about cars than BK.

[Jeanne]

Good weekend vibes to everyone, plus more-work-pronto vibes to Elmore.

[Jeanne]

TTFN.

[Jane]

When he can finally move he hopes to find a place with room for a washer & dryer.

I told my kids to not even look at a place that doesn't have its own laundry hookups.

It will be easier to find a place once he doesn't have a dog or buys something.  Bryan has been more fortunate with his options.

[Jane]

I have never heard of a laundry card.  It sounds easier than saving a supply of coins.   Do you update it online or at a machine in the laundry room?

Online.

Thanks.  Does the card work at laundromats as well or is it just for your building?

[Jane]

You got lucky having Krista in your camp

Bittersweet.

I gather you do not have a laundry card.  How much does it cost you to do laundry? 

I will not delete this post though you have already answered my question.

[Jane]

It is currently 71 degrees and the humidity has dropped from 85% this morning to 59%.

No.  I would have in Ashland.  I kind of kept my eye out for it when we have traveled thinking it might be in a small shop.

But you do know there is this manual in your glove compartment to look up information

Warm today but heat pump is working fine!

I like those happenstances DR JOHN G.  I was looking at a Bible owned by my mother a few months after she passed away - and the date she wrote in it, I'm assuming when she got it, was June 28, 1998 - 30 years to the day before she died.

Another strange coincidence, for sure.

Let’s move on...
