DH is cute. He came home from Hermann all happy because our contractor “offered him a job” ( I dont take it as a firm job offer.) Apparently the two of them worked very well together over the last two days putting wiring in the house.
It is “cute “because it makes me wonder where his head is since we both know he could go out and get five jobs today if he wanted to.I guess he just likes being recognized for his construction skills. He and the contractor get along well.
LOL, IL, I'm not sure how this is a "rant". At least from your dh's perspective, I would guess it to be a "rave". But glad he got some apparently well-deserved validation!!!Originally Posted by iris lilies

Oh I was just keying into the talk about trades, tradesman, and trade education. It doesn’t take much for me to contribute blather as I’m sure you’re well aware.

Coin shortages, especially quarter shortages. Tell me it's not some sign of societal collapse that you can't get legal tender (at least not of the quarter type) for the country you live in, in that country. But I go to the bank and they say "nationwide quarter shortage" and give me one roll at most.
So laundries get rationed as they must, can't be doing them just because you have some stuff you want to clean, do you actually need to clean it or can it sit dirty for awhile ... Will you give up clean sheets and towels in order to have clean clothes? I will, if I have to make that trade. Because quarters are running out, they are this year's TP.

Our laundry room has a app you can download to pay for laundry which is what I do. So much easier.
These laundry machines look like they are 50 years old, and they break periodically, but they keep fixing them and have been fairly prompt in that. No credit cards and no apps, just slots for quarters. They have even had the nerve to raise the price in the pandemic, never mind we can hardly even get quarters, now they expect us to be able to find even more of them.

Quarters (for laundry room in her building) are the #1 birthday gift request on her list. I'm going to wrap my change and see what I can come up with for her.

There are both manual and electric washing machines--lots of them--available. Most manageable sized. I'd go that route.
Perhaps, for the average cubicle dwelling American.
But for clothes that get truly dirty, I don’t think so.
