Well it’s good news the doctor seemed to have a good explanation for it- to me it’s more terrifying not having any idea what’s going on with something. I hope they’re regular floaters that will pass and that it doesn’t end up turning into a tear of the retina or anything. Wishing you much luck!

Nice albinos! I wouldn’t want them for myself lol but they’re pretty cool and unique!

What is a kickstarter?
I’ve really been looking forward to grab bag dragons. I haven’t participated in any grab bags because I don’t collect poads or unicorns (I don’t mind admiring those of other peoples’ though!). GB dragons are a dream come true!! They must happen!
The pictures just make me all the more anxious! I will find a way to pay for it no matter what, as long as I catch it on time! Lol.Formerly had the Batman & Joker avatar!
^Very nice. Congrats on the acquisition! I like the large wizard sculpt a lot.

^ Yep the front loader at my work takes an hour to wash on the normal/cotton cycle, and my top loader at home takes barely over 30 for the same cycle.

My only experience using a front-load washer has been the one where I work, doing dog laundry. I don’t know what brand it is but I’m not a fan of it. I find top loaders easier to load and unload (I’m not tall either, I’m exactly 5 ft) and doing laundry in there just on a normal setting also takes longer than what I’m used to. (At home the washing is quicker than the drying. The one at work takes something like an hour just to wash whereas mine at home is slightly more than half that.)
It also fits a little less in there than what I’m used to but since some of this is the opposite of what others above have said, some of these factors probably do depend on the brand and model. I’d try to do some research about these little details when you start looking at specific models. I mean finding specs about how large the inside is/how much it’ll hold, how long the wash cycles take etc. if that matters to you.
I’ve tried using less soap in there than I use at home since I’ve heard about front-loaders needing less soap, but then stuff seems to come out of there smelling less than fresh (we don’t need the “clean” blankets smelling like dog pee!).
It’s also an annoyingly hi-tech washer, with all kinds of unnecessary knobs and options. Some people like that stuff but I guess I’m old fashioned (at only 27 years old!)! You only need a few basic settings to do laundry properly. The one at work has “errors” sometimes and the screen also tries to tell you how long it has left, but it seems to say how long is left in the current cycle not in total wash time, so that’s not particularly helpful to glance at.
Basically I just find it annoying. No *real* problems with it although the ‘souring’ effect I’m reading from other people puts me off from it even more (at work we switch the laundry out almost constantly so it never sits in there. But the washer also doesn’t have much chance to get dry- maybe I should sniff it and see if it smells in there? Lol).I’ve just always had a top-loading, agitator washer that served me well, before and after moving out from my parents’. I’m sure they make annoying, high-tech versions of those now too. If I was going for a new one, I’d want as simple of one as I could find (easier to use and less to go wrong!), heavy duty like someone else mentioned, and a top loader with an agitator. I’m not sure if washers without agitators get the clothes done as well- with the agitator even if you pour all the detergent in on the very top, you know the clothes get moved around so much by the agitator it doesn’t matter. I’ve watched it work with the lid open and it’s pretty cool, lol. I’m not sure how the clothes (& soap) are guaranteed to get swished around as well without the agitator but I’m sure there’s some way that it’s supposed to work. I have heard from someone about powder detergent sometimes not getting dissolved in her machine (that doesn’t have an agitator) and that adds to my iffy-ness about that aspect.
Oh and another nice thing about top-loaders is you can also let it start filling with water while it’s still open and you’re adding stuff- you can also open it again after starting it to add something you dropped! I’d hate to not be able to do that anymore, lol.
Whoa I typed a lot, how did that happen? Sorry… maybe I’ll come back to the post later and cut it down to size. :~

Aw, I do love huskies playing in the snow! At my job it’s funny to see how varied the reactions of different dogs to snowy weather can be! :bigsmile:

-Getting my poor Bronco running again, which means a new engine. Done trying to fix the one that’s in there or getting any other second-hand engines. This means I gotta save a lot of money! 🙁
-Get my Bronco painted after it’s running again! I’ve almost finished fixing the interior how I want it and I can’t wait to get the exterior painted! Means saving more money… yikes
-Get a couple or few more Windstones that I want, although in light of the above and other financial stuff, that’s difficult 🙁
-Either move or get well on our way to being ready to move, not that this house is bad but my husband and I would like to be roommate-free!
-Make better progress with writing my stories. I love writing and love some of my ideas but I tend to make such slow progress on it. I could be working on that now, for example.
-Make good use of the gym membership that my husband and I got last month. We’ve been doing quite well with it so far and I hope we both keep it up!
-Hopefully not owe taxes, or money back to Obamacare if my estimate of what we’ll earn this year was a little too low :~
– Visit my family once or twice in CA (I try to make it out there at least once a year. My parents pay for half the travel expenses and for basically everything while I’m there so that’s how I afford it!)Formerly had the Batman & Joker avatar!
Ooh, that frog wizard looks cool in copper patina. I really want one! Curse my bills!
Wouldn’t mind a baby dragon in gold either! 😀
Lol, guess I should’ve posted this in the wishlist thread. :pShare pics, those of you who got some! I especially would like to see more pics of the copper patina frog wizard.

Which part of Cali phantomess?
Carmichael, which is Sacramento area but not Sacramento city.
Everyone I’ve spoken to who’s not from California assumes I lived on a sunny beach or in LA. Or that I lived through earthquakes. Nope, there’s a lot more to CA than that!
