Um. Hi! Sorry to send this to everyone... Well, I had a question I wanted to pose to everyone but then another thing came up and...

Does anyone know how to reattach a door to a washing machine? I had a little mishap... and I still have a lot of laundry to get done. Anyway, it'd be awful if I didn't at least ask how to put it back the way it was.

The second thing is completely unrelated. Does anyone else feel really weird about wanting friends or family to show up? I don't think I'd wish this experience on anyone against their will, but as long as we're going to be here... it'd be nice to have familiar faces, don't you think? How do you deal with the conflict?

And is there any way to request they bring crullers with them?

Depends on the day. You know how some couples can be. [ ... ] Wouldn't change them for the world, though.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, I hope you get to see them soon, then.

[ladybro]

One way or another. But until then, I'll happily settle for meeting new people.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, if we're any indication, that seems to be going well.

[ladybro]

Very. Even if I can't help you with your washer door shaped problems.

[takingkarabusiness]

I'm sure I could put my shoulder into it and figure it out.

[ladybro]

Just don't give it too much shoulder.

[takingkarabusiness]

I'm just glad it wasn't a handshake.

[ladybro]

Ever accidentally broken any fingers?

[takingkarabusiness]

Not accidentally, thankfully.

[ladybro]

Then I commend your self-control, Kara.

[takingkarabusiness]

I have gone through several alarm clocks, though.

[ladybro]

How many smartphones have you smashed?

[takingkarabusiness]

I don't make so much that I can afford to replace them all the time. I just don't use it as an alarm.

[ladybro]

Forget the alarms. Hell, if I had the kinda strength you seem to have? I'd crack my screen every time I jabbed 'send' on an angry text.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, I try not to be too angry. Problem solved!

[ladybro]

Sure, but we all get angry. Right?

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, sure. But some people have to be more careful about it than others.

[ladybro]

Touché.

[takingkarabusiness]

I try to take it out on dead cars in a junkyard, anyway.

[ladybro]

-- Naughty, putting all those compactor machines out of work.

[ she's teasing. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

I think I just make more of a mess.

[ladybro]

Must be kinda tough, here. Without scrap-yards. [ ... ] You weren't feeling particularly annoyed when you tried to do laundry today, were you?

[takingkarabusiness]

No, I think I just recharged enough without realizing it.

[ladybro]

Well. I hope you get it fixed promptly. Clean laundry should be a right -- not a privilege.
