Laundromat Confessions!

Yeah, I hate doing laundry! And only some if it is because of the men's clothing I wear!

Just a bit of a quickie today for everyone on this momentous evening .. Easter Sunday, 420 for the stoners, and night two of Wrestlemania. I had an incredible appetizer at the restaurant my girlfriend and I went to for Brunch. A half down deviled eggs with candied bacon and pickled jalapenos on top. So delish that I literally had a food-gasm. I splurged also on a maple crusted salmon plate. I don't often eat "meat" but today was a special deal for me. Mmmmmmm.

Not much to say about the caption other than I think women tend to link smells to memories more so than men. Also, I never did laundry once my forever person came along .. and then had to start up at some point after she died. For 18 months I was dating a woman with her own washer and dryer, so I'd do them each weekend when I went over to her place. Now I'm doing them in a laundromat every other week. Thirdly, the 3rd paragraph is from a routine some stand up comedian did in the 90's that I thought was funny.

So anyone have some good ideas for TG captions dealing with laundry and laundromats that hasn't been done before? If you've got a good one, I'll see what I can do with it, and you'll get to star in it if you'd like!

  1. Fun cap with a sexy pic Dee!

    Question on the "Don't eat meat" part of your post. My brother has a particular diet he follows where he doesn't eat any pork or any seafood. Intellectually he knows they're safe if they are cooked properly, but he doesn't like the 'worms' that can be found in a lot of pork products or the bacteria that's present in a lot of seafood. He even goes so far as to overcook (at least overcook according to foodie me!) any chicken or beef to the point of it being dried and nasty.

    So, what makes you a (mostly) vegetarian? As a total omnivore with only two or three foods on my 'will not eat' list, I'm always curious about people's food selection processes.

    1. My diet is what most people would call Flexitarian, but for me it's due to health reasons. I've had a history of kidney stones and gout, so animal purines and yeast are a deadly enemy .. so I won't / can't eat organ meat, shellfish, most game red meat (though I tend to rule out red meat in general) and worst of all, alcohol. If the GF is having a steak, prime rib, or something like that, she'll give me one bite so I don't feel tormented.

      I still do dairy for the most part, though I tend to stay away from ice cream that is mostly heavy fucking cream, as it's quite rich. Cheese is still my passion and I would die of starvation before giving it up willingly. Much of the milk I have is on cereal. I tend not to do yogurt dude to live cultures and yeast, but have cottage cheese on salads instead of a meat.

      I gravitate towards lentils, beans and eggs for my main protein elements when it comes to meals. I will eat chicken or turkey, tuna or salmon once or twice a week (usually 3 oz or less) and more often than not, it's chicken or turkey. I try to treat myself to a slight bit of pork once a month or so, and it's usually bacon or maybe Chinese dumplings or fried rice.

      On Easter, the spoiled part was that it was a half pound of salmon .. and portion wise, even when I eat "meat" I tend to stick with 3 oz or less (even when I eat fake meat, I tend to eat 4 oz or less, because they usually stick nutritional yeast in there somewhere). I took tart cherry extract beforehand, didn't eat any sort of meat for 3 days before, and kept hydrated, and I still had a bit of knee pain last night .. but as long as it doesn't cause an actual gout or kidney stone attack .. it was worth it!

      Hopefully that explains everything. If you want any more info, recipes, etc .. message me on Rachel's Haven, the RH discord .. and Maybe I'll turn this into a blog posting.

    2. Wow, that was way more informative than I thought I'd get. Thanks Dee!

      This kind of reminds me of a very close friend of mine. E. We went to photo school together, lived in Chicago together, worked as photographers together, and have been friends/best-friends for almost 30 years now.

      When we first met we were on the same diet. The "If Its In Front Of Me, I'm Gonna Eat It" diet. But the older he got, the more stomach issues he got. It got the point that a few years ago, he practically spent more time on the toilet than he did out in real life. It was just an expected thing that when we went out to hang out, at a bar, at a show, at a museum, at a restaurant, just walking a new city, we had to build in time for his inevitable restroom requirements.

      He finally got sick of it a two years ago and while in south east Asia (I think it was Thailand, but I don't remember specifically) got a very extensive allergy test. Yeah, he's allergic to most foods. And most alcohols. He was as close to a functioning alcoholic that I could imagine without being a danger to himself. He's radically changed his diet, what he eats, how he eats, how often he eats, what he drinks, how he drinks, how often he drinks, and it's worked! He's almost back to what he was in his twenties!

      I feel bad because when we get together I'm all like "Hey, lets get some beer, some whisky, some pizza, some ice cream, and some bbq!" and he'll go along with it. I just forgot about his new diet but I condemned him to two days of bathroom hell.

      Anyway, I can completely understand why your diet is the way it is. You have medical conditions and are following a diet to control it as much as you can. That's applaudable!

    3. Thanks! I decided that being in pain, having doctors go up my cock with a laser claw to blast out stones, then having a stent put in so I have a catfish dick for the next week while I peed out blood .. was not the way I wanted to live!

      And I was also pretty much a functional alcoholic in my 20's as well, eating a ton of shellfish, red meat and limited vegetables that weren't battered, deep-fried and then smothered with nacho cheese sauce .. it's not a shock that I ended up like this! But hey, from what part I can actually remember about my 20's, I really did enjoy myself.

      My forever person and my daughter literally did save my life.
