Because it's super usefull to help to decide at the last moment...
BTW, I vacuumed the loo this morning and I have to clean the cat shitbox and put fresh sand before thursday...
I wonder if I should not start a laundry now, with drying she might finish before midnight...

Tasted like some sorte of super paste-y "vache qui rit" but, not a really good one, more like the "vache gros jean" ersatz... Not sure there was anything cheeze related init... More the kind of stuff you'd expect to have to refill in a car transmission or oil pan...
As with the previous years, I'll stop when I find the one so sickening that I end up the whole night my head inside the loo vomitting my guts of... The previous years winner have always been QBB, with sometimes a close tie with Max Value/Top Value... thing... that they call fondue... but is clearly misslabelled...

Hmm. You're a TEPCO customer, right?

We get a choice?
GomiGirl wrote:Has anybody else had huge electricity bills lately? I am turning off lights religiously now trying to reduce the cost. But I think I read somewhere that I should be making sure I actually turn off my appliances rather than just having them in sleep mode to ensure I am not wasting electricity. We don't have a washlet loo so no wasted power there.

I remember you have 30 or so rooms in your house, and no space to store laundry?
Time for a trip to IKEA?

While we're on the subject, has anyone ever thought about how much lint is produced globally each year? Maybe for each household it's not a huge amount, but if each household produces an average of 500g annually and there are 50 million households in Japan (figures off the top of my head), that's 25 million tonnes of lint just Japan alone. Surely there's some environmentally-friendly use to which this could be put? Maybe as padding for a giant quilt to insulate the icecaps? A lint-fired power station? The possibilities are endless.

If you're talking about navel lint, your estimate of 500g produced annually by my household is far off. I produce that amount on my own easily.

yanpa wrote:I was talking about washing machine lint. Come to think of it though, I don't recall generating much navel lint in recent years... I must look into that to see if there are any useful scientific observations I can make for the betterment of humanity.
