Two warm washes and two whole days drying in the hot sun and yet the overpowering smell of the previous owner's laundry detergent remains.

soak it in soapy water for like a day. That was a serious post, btw.

At least it smells like detergent.

My Vegas Vault vinyl arrived the other day. Wife was wondering what it was... she had assumed it was the Christmas single but thought that it was ridiculous that the box was so large. After explaining what it was and it was something I had ordered months ago, she said (without any prior knowledge of how the fan clubs works), "So you'll get that Christmas record in - what- April?"

I lol'd.

Wash it in vinegar instead of soap, too. That helps sometimes.

Those detergent single use "pods" are the biggest ripoff in the history of laundry.

I have a laundry detergent obsession. I probably have 20+ opened different detergents right now.

Holy shit Tom. I thought you were normal.

That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me on RM.

We use vinegar as our softener.

The only reason I would use them for laundry is to be able to have my wife use the correct proportions of detergent (she uses way too much). We use them for the dishwasher for this reason, bc she was putting so much powder in the soap container that it would jam itself shut and not open during the wash cycle. They pretty much saved our marriage.

Ugh, my wife uses way too much detergent also. As far as the dishwasher, I have just taken over dishes full time because I can't stand how she loads the thing.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK ME TOO. I don't understand it. After she's finished loading it, you can easily first 2-3 times more stuff into the dishwasher.

She also always puts our nice knives in there. Kills me. But I'm stubborn and think my way is the best way, so who am I to say she's wrong.

It is the arrangement that gets me too. I can fit another 10 cups on the top after I rearrange what she did, which is no rhyme or reason, just throws shit in there.
