    Oh my God. Put one in the first house I renovated and never went back. Second-floor laundry FTW.

    Have you considered adding a garbage disposal? Never hurts to have an extra on hand.

    Perhaps it’s my Southern coming out, but I will never understand not having window screens to keep out the bugs and critters.

    Perhaps the rationale is, "What the hell, whatever comes in will go back out."
    I know, it's weird, but some people are so laid-back they can roll with anything.

    Also, they're probably stoned.

    Any critter that enters our house is committing suicide by cat.

    Well, except these two:

    You don't have to be Southern to appreciate window screens. The French also hate air conditioning, believing deeply that it's bad for your health.

    Our apartment laundry room downstairs is big. About the size of a strip mall laundromat - or the laundry in a small, medium-security prison. Same industrial washers and dryers. Dollar a load.

    It's always warm and humid and smells of fabric softener. The washboard is built right into the big sink. And there's a wringer.

    Great way to meet the neighbors, too.

    They also hate deodorant.

    If the air in Paris is as polluted and exhaust-choked as London, nothing survives to get through.

    Outside the big cities, they probably just take one look at the awful climate, give up and die.

    Ex posted on Instagram last night that selling a few hundred dollars worth of her "art" made it possible for her to open her pool for the kids this summer.

    The pool is in the backyard of a four-bedroom, fully renovated house on which she doesn't have a mortgage, because I bought it. In addition, I transferred $409,729.28 in cash into her accounts last week as part of our final settlement.

    She has been told that any more posts suggesting that people buying her art is keeping her afloat will result in some serious shit.

    Luckily I have drugs.

    Carry on.
