We used to have a place here called Suds & Duds that was a combination laundromat and bar.

There are a few places around here where you can do laundry and buy nightcrawlers.

Iâve heard of those before. I believe there are also combination laundromat/arcades in some places. There was a single arcade machine in laundromat/laundromate, one of those 15 different fighting games, plus a couple of other games thrown in. I got really good at Puzzle Bobble.

Places like that are super common around college campuses. I remember several in the neighborhoods where students lived off campus when I was at Ohio State.

I had to go to a laundromat a while long ago (our king size comforter didnât fit in our machine). Fine, except the washer cost $12.50 and it didnât take credit cards or bills. ALL QUARTERS.
Since this isnât the griping thread Iâll end by saying we later bought a new, lighter comforter that does fit in our machine, hooray!

Yeah, having to have a million quarters sucks too, but the worst part is the boredom. Somehow no book or game or other distraction works. Youâre stuck at the laundromat and itâs like 90 minutes of prison.

Well, made it through another âlost weekendâ and tomorrow morning it will be dark, I will be wearing sunglasses, with a full pack of cigarettes, just filled up the gasoline tank in the vehicle, and am not planning to unleash all reserves of my rage (some, but not all!) at my incompetent coworkers.
Plus, the weatherâs a little cooler than last week of moderately high temps (about 90° F).
OHHH! And a 16-oz. bag of Blue Diamond âSmokehouseâ almondsâŚon sale for the extremely low price of $4.99! Unheard of!

I sat out on my balcony this afternoon. It was really nice.
AND I walked around my apartment most of the day in bare feet and it wasnât too bad! Progress!

Oh, I donât know. Got the electric company off my back.
Iâm going into The Place for That Thing tomorrow, so thatâll be out of the way for the rest of the week.
Oh, the week after this Friday I should get a $1500 bonus included on my paycheck for my five years at this place. Set my tax withholdings to âexemptâ (fed) and 9 exemptions (state) so should get minimally taxed, after which can go set the withholdings back to where they should be.

I donât like wings, but theyâre apparently insanely popular here. In this town, there are at least three places that specialize in them, and theyâre all within a couple of miles of each other.
We also have a Popeyeâs and a Chick-Fil-A right next to each other, and theyâve always got a line in both drive-throughs.

We got a Popeyeâs recently. The first week or two, it snarled traffic. Since then, tumbleweeds.
I wish the same would happen to Dunkin Donuts, but alas.
Buffalo wings are the bird word here, because NY, whatta you looginat? I have a favorite wing place where I can gromf down char-grilled wings until my face sweats off, but Iâm not telling.

Dunkin is terrible. Their donuts arenât even fresh in the store, they truck them in. And their coffee is indescribably bad. I donât get why people love them.
