So, I have this rotten sinus infection. I called out sick to work friday and saturday nights. I hate calling in sick, but Scott pretty much put his foot down.

More wash combinations than a normal person really needs. Energy efficient. Rediculously priced. $997 washer and $800 dryer. This doesn't ( Read more... )
