A++++ for you!
If the washer repairman does not show up, this is what my younger brother did to wash his clothes. He lived in Palm Springs on a golf course. He put his dirty clothes in soapy water in the bathtub and used a golf club to stir the dirt out of them. Then rinsed the same way.
When I first saw him doing that I was crying and laughing.
Heehee-that sex-changing teacher story reminded me of a song I heard yesterday on the classic rock station-
Holly came from Miami, FLA
Hitchhiked her way across the USA
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side
Candy came from out on the Island
In the back room she was everybody's darlin'
But she never lost her head
Even when she was givin' head
She says hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
Said hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls go
Doo, doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo...
