*looks around*
what snow? My ground is bare. Sadly. And... I like a good violin piece, Abs, but it reminded me too much of those acts on PBS where classically trained people cover pop songs. Like the violin version of Celtic Woman or some such. Given me Itzhak Perlman performing the Mendelssohn any day over that.

I've been fortunate. I have never had to use a laundry mat. That I can remember at least.
But I drive by them all the time. And I've peered in before. No hot chicks. ![]() I think it's a myth. |

Sad to say. ![]() So where do the hot chicks do all their laundry?

In college towns. The town I went to college in had mats that were cheaper than the dorm ones (and actually worked). We all went there.
It would be so wonderful to have my own washer and dryer someday. *le sigh* |

How come I still never saw any when I was in college then?
I think you all have secret hot chicks only laundromats.

Maybe your perception of 'hott' needs changing.

That's not terribly reassuring.
Really, it's not.

I don't know about better, but it's more honest, at least.

Shadowflame, ah. That is good. Leave the audience wanting more.
Perfect. It means I set just the right tone with this one (completely rewritten from about a 1500 word draft done over 2 years ago). Actually, I've gotta' say, Damn, that does my heart good. One of the best things a writer can hear is "Gimme' more."

The existing one is like the creepy guy at Walmart with moobs who smells like beef and cheese and farts when he thinks no one is looking and hits on you by asking you to the gas station next door for a 'quickie' and a Super Slurp.

Hey! You girls leave Haggis alone. He's damaged, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have feelings.

Are you saying Haggis is the creepy uncle or the creepy Walmart guy, Greg?
Of course, no reason he can't be both.
