Actually, it was the phrase, "...having an open shower in that laundryroom..." that woke me up. I'm not really into gold, myself. Don't mind if other people are, though.
Does it work? Everything I've tried either does NOTHING or makes me break out.... My beard started going white way ahead of anything else. G'ma told me it was a family curse: All the men who keep their hair go white really young...
Back on topic:
What's the function of the shower curtain?
Turnamat's comment made me wonder. How many countries do we have represented here? Does anyone know? I've seen Germany, Ireland, England, Italy, and Australia. Any others?
There are many more countries represented here. I'm from the Netherlands, visited conventions in 2001, 2002 and 2005. I've also seen people from Norway, Spain, Slovenia, Iran, Lebanon, Brazil, Russia, South Africa, Australia just to name a few.
Cool!I knew I missed a few countries but didn't think I'd missed that many. Anyone from Poland?
I'd love to attend a wash-in in another country. I've been wrapping up many loose ends in my life lately and with that wanderlust is setting in....
Alert! Topic drift
Quite a variety of languages represented. I'm impressed. I taught ESL/EFL for years and have studied or lived immersed in a number of other languages and would rather have any of those than have to learn English as a new language.
Yes, I know: "English is easy. It's just French smooshed on top of German." While that's true, that only helps if your first language is a Germanic one.

It's unfortunate travel is so expensive and time-consuming. It'd be fun to attend wash-ins in other countries. 40 years ago we were all told that by now we'd have left supersonic jets behind and would be flying in hypersonic planes that would take us from New York to London in an hour. I'm still waiting, lol.
Steve- I wish I would have known you wanted to go we could have shared a ride! I live in Mansfield and we could have gone together but it is too late for me to make arrangements now. Maybe next time. E-mail me if you get a chance. Jeb
It's that time of year again...I'm trying to get the date out early and see what the response is. The format will be similar to the 2012 one, with exciting new additions...basic schedule is Friday Meet and Greet at the Comfort Inn Pittsburgh Hotel Bar...Sat...Wash-In 11am...now with a WORKING...
I've just sent off my co-op application docs to my attorney for review. Harder than it sounds as despite my best efforts, some of it got carted off to 2 different storage units...ggrrrrrrrrrr. I need to pick up a few things from my CPA and my job this week, but other than that I think I'm done! It's time to relax....at least until everyone has gone through it all and lined up a million questions for me, lol.
