Balloons stick to him like glue.
If we had a cat would do the same. Hope wife doesnt see this thread or she may put me in.

I didn’t buy it because I wasn't sure which one she wanted!

57 variations of one laundry detergent seems excessive!

Just take a walk down that aisle and look at all the plastic. Try and find detergent in a biodegradable cardboard box. I refuse to buy the bottles.

I hear you.! I take the laundry to the pond, soak it for a while, then pound it on a gator head.
It's a lot of work. My whites aren't really white, and everything smells abit. But I'll I don't want to contribute to plastic proliferation.

You will be honored by the next meeting of the global warming group.

Sadly I will admit one of boys dated top in her field young women Harvard graduate, with two PHDs and MD, by age 24.
She could make split second decisions in her field, but send her to the grocery, for something specific, CMD was her downfall. He stopped dating her after 2 years, not because of CMD, or lack of common sense.

Her downfall, She chewed with her mouth open
A test I suggest to people that are dating is to take the person to McDonalds, and see how long it takes to make a low impact decision about what to order.

If it takes longer than 15 seconds just imagine what life is going to be like with them when you have to make really important decisions together. Not a deal breaker, but just something to understand about the person.

I like the smell of Gain detergent, and I like the smell of Persil detergent. So if I can't find a variety that's on sale, that smells like Gain, I get whatever UNscented is on sale. And then I use Gain booster beads to make it smell like Gain. I only get Persil when it's on sale AND I have an Ibotta rebate promotion AND a coupon. It's way too expensive otherwise. But it smells great in my dresser drawers.
