Default Empty your pockets before washing clothes

The damn thing stopped working yesterday. I noticed the drain pump was not working and figured it was clogged.

Boy was it ever.





That's about 6 bucks in there ...

I always try, but it seems change always shows up in the bottom of the washing machine. Actually not only change, but bills, pens, and I washed and dried my playstaion memory card once. Stiil works.

My b-day was Sunday. My wife actually washed (laundered, I told her) about $160 worth of checks last night. I hope the bank will still take them.

It's a front loader. Turns out the coins were being pushed down through the gap on drain. Further investigation turned up some pounds and Euro's in that drain as they were too big to fit.

All in all I am ~18 bucks richer now.

Then again, in my anger while reconnecting the hose lines I smacked the glass with a wrench and broke it -- ~200 bucks and 2 weeks to replace. Angry wife.
