My friend J3ss H0ff and her fiance Chr1s B3rz@c have got to know by now that the name they've adopted to refer to themselves as a couple is the same as a record label.

Anyway, can I get an Old Timers head count?

I must be a bad neighbor then! I was doing a load the other night and the neighbor's clothes were sitting in the dryer. Their basket was right in front, so I saw no harm in taking the clothes out and putting them in the basket. I didn't think to fold them. He was holding up the joint! We only have one washer/dryer. However, I get really upset if I'm washing clothes and someone jumps in. They see my dirty clothes right in front and then they just put my wet clothes on top of the dryer or something and start their load. Then I have to stop my whole process and start again another day. So basically, if I see someone is in the process of doing a few loads, I just come back a different day.

i have heard a little of mucca pazza on their myspace but have not tried very hard to hear any more because when i looked on emusic for downloads and all they had was "live at l0llerpalooza" i gave up because that is not to my liking. (note i have been reading student writing all day and that makes me think in a runon sentence)
my students were so WHINY today! they were all like "the test is too LONG teacher" and then they finished like 45 min. early. It's a FINAL, y'all!

I'm actually OK with removing wet clothes from the washing machine and putting them on the dryer. The way I figure, it's OK for wet clothes to sit out for a couple of hours (just not, like, overnight), and it's not like the person was going to put them back in the washing machine for any reason. Whereas with the dryer, you never know if the person wanted to throw them back in -- even if they feel totally dry, they may want to throw them in for another 10 minutes just to de-wrinkle them. Although, again, I agree with Kevin that it's probably OK if it's over an hour later.

How is that a run-on sentence?
― jaymc, Thursday, 6 December 2007 21:39 (sixteen years ago) link
that is not a run on sentence

One time a neighbor saw that we had taken his stuff out of the dryer and we noticed he put it BACK in the washer after this. He clearly didn't want anyone else touching his clothes (but I still don't think it's a bad thing to do). People should be aware when their stuff is done.

the one before it is though and that makes me feel like i am going nuts but on the other hand this is how my students write all the time i don't know if this bothers me but sometimes it's depend. i'm agree!
― La Lechera, Thursday, 6 December 2007 21:42 (sixteen years ago) link
People should be aware when their stuff is done. TIMER
We all agree then, basically. And for the record, I only really care about my wet clothes being put on top of the dryer when: a) I had other loads waiting to be washed (which I realize is egocentric) and/or b) the top of the dryer is filthy
― KitCat, Thursday, 6 December 2007 21:45 (sixteen years ago) link
thankfully we now have a washer/dryer in the apt, and it's a wonderful thing
― stingy, Thursday, 6 December 2007 21:45 (sixteen years ago) link
That does sound wonderful! Also, one day I'll have a dishwasher.

Our dryers are so old that you can't just pop in an extra quarter for 15 minutes or what-have-you. You'd have to pay another $1.50.
― KitCat, Thursday, 6 December 2007 21:47 (sixteen years ago) link
I don't think the run-on sentence you think is a run-on sentence is, in fact, a run-on sentence: it's just a long sentence with several conjunctions.
the one before it is though and that makes me feel like i am going nuts but on the other hand this is how my students write all the time i don't know if this bothers me but sometimes it's depend.
This turns into a run-in as soon as there's no punctuation or conjunction between "time" and "i," but it's OK before that (if poorly punctuated).
― jaymc, Thursday, 6 December 2007 21:49 (sixteen years ago) link
Ha, I mean "run-on" not "run-in."
"I had a run-in with a run-on."

Sorry, don't mean to pick on you. This misuse of the term "run-on sentence" is just one of my pet peeves.

it's true this girl is sassy as hell too. at the end of class she turned in her final said "i'm a lazy ass" and i was like, "is that with one 's' or two" and she laughed and said "two."
at least she laughed?
i'm sorry for fussing too. i'm just pretty gd sure that i know what a run on sentence is.

please don't
So just to clarify (I won't press the point further), do you still think the sentence about Mucca Pazza that you wrote was a run-on?
― jaymc, Thursday, 6 December 2007 22:03 (sixteen years ago) link
not necessarily, but it needs help and is improperly punctuated. dude you have no idea the magnitude of run ons i see on a daily basis.

Word.

The Mucca Pazza CD is in the listening station at the Broadway Reckless.
