COOL!

I just got a Zombies compilation and Ravi Shankar on CD this week.

What did you receive?
I bought Master of Puppets and Load by Metallica (my Load CD bit the dust, must have played it too much) and Sol Invictus by Faith No More.

A washer and dryer. Now just have to wait a couple weeks for delivery.

Does that mean laundromat visits while you wait?

I bought meat, burger buns and ginger beer for dinner tonight.

780 ounces of silver and 16 ounces of gold.  Basically took everything I had in cash and converted it into metals.  These Republican whackadoos have me worried about an intentional debt default.

The washer is still functional, mostly. It washes, but it's really far out of alignment so it shakes the whole house when it spins. The dryer is kaput. So I'm just draping wet laundry all over the house. I have a rack for it where I can put most of it, but the cub still has nighttime accidents so there's a lot of trying to get bedsheets to dry by the next day.

I decided to get both washer and dryer at the same time because it was a deal and I don't expect the current washer to last much longer.

Today I got a hamster. The cub got it into his head that he wanted one and he's been asking for a while. I feel bad that I can't get him a cat or dog become of my allergies, and he loves animals.

We'll see how much of the caretaking I can talk him into actually doing.

Always a good buy!  There are far worse addictions......at least this one won't leave you physically ruined!
