Laundry Done - Accomplishment Unlocked

Well, I have arthritis badly and it seems to be accelerating this last 9 months or so. My back is also bad and I hurt it the other day, and it is just not healing this time - it keeps hurting like mad. So the laundry just HAD to be done. I hurt myself just before my bath day (home care does that for me) and I skipped the laundry and recycled the pants, put on my last clean shirt and hopped I could do it in a couple of days. Well, the back never gave up hurting so last night I went down and just got it done. It was not bad until I bent over to get stuff out of the dryer and OUCH goes my back. Then standing there folding made it much worse and my knees where just barking. The new think the last 2 months is my feet hurting like hell if I stand for more than 2 or 3 minutes without moving, so here I am moving around and folding the washing at the same time. Good thing I was alone in there then. I did talk to a few women before I started though, but they where just leaving. But I got it done and left it in the bag until this morning and put it away. Sadly I need to do towels and bedding next - but that really can wait a few days. I was out of gummies as well (the medicated ones, if you know what I mean.)
To top it off, the one washer was making a hell of a sound on the rinse cycle - both where going at the same time and I don't know what one it is, but it's obviously a belt drive and the belt is slipping a little. The dryer I used used to be the good one, now it's like the others and the clothing was still damp. I did not want to spend another 30 or more minutes in there, so I just folded it and went home. The dryer was making a buzzing sound I never heard it make as well. They really do need new machines in there all around I think - they spend too much on fixing these old machines - time to get something newer in... that's right, newer, as brand new I sure is never going to happen. And what the hell is that sound like a belt buckle in the dryer when there was not one bit of anything other than fabric in there? I always did wonder that.

Top 20 Deli Meats (Cold Cuts) Rated

Image
I found a list of the top 20 cold cuts in the world. That head cheese got into this list makes me wonder what so called normal people think is good food. This is of course keyed to my tastes only and may not be how you see it. For example, Dad loved Bologna above all other cold cuts, and would fry it black and make sandwiches with tomato and Kraft sandwich spread. Sometimes the bread of toasted. On a side note, literally ONLY white bread of served to us at home as young folks and so on. The idea of eating brown bread was out of the question. BTW Mom's favorite cold cut was Olive Loaf. My perfect 10 no longer exists and it was called Onion Loaf. Nothing will ever replace Onion Loaf in my mind. 1 Turkey Breast 4/10 2 Ham 5/10 3 Roast Beef 2/10 4 Salami 7/10 5 Bologna 3/10 6 Chicken Breast 4/10 7 Prosciutto 9/10 8 Pastrami 8/10 9 Pepperoni 7/10 10 Mortadella 7/10 11 Corned Beef 4/10 12 Capicola 7/10 13 Liverwurst 6/10 14 Soppressata 8/10 15 Chorizo 6/10 16 Genoa 7/10 17 Pork Roll 2/10...
