The things that make you say "HMMMMM"
Here is an image of Jesus seated. Sorry, but to me it looks like he is recycling his last few meals while on the throne
! I burst out laughing and could help my little-ole' self!
I really don't want to be the one to tell the rest of the Christians that 3-dimentional images are taboo according to the 10-commandments.
If nothing else, Orthodox Jewish and Orthodox Christions demonoligists agree, SATAN can animate 3-D objects and they will come and get you *BOO*! LOL

Sorry I'm tangent-prone these days. Let's chalk it up to local culture!
Toggles, so almost everybody owns a washer, like here.
Then how it comes that laundromats are still common there ?
Washer dresses : I remember years ago every granny/auntie had her green / blue / flowered dress on the washer.
This nightmare would be the modern version :

Not everyone owns a washer. Some buildings prohibit them. Water and hot water are normally provided by the landlord in my city, meaning the landlord pays for those utitlies/services. There is generally no provision/way to individually meter water to each apartment.
Speaking of washers in a dress/housecoat, I got my little portable washer into my last apartment by getting some Christmas gift-wrapping paper at Christmas-time and taping it over the cardboard box. It was hiding in plain sight!

Showing my age here--
I thought Wednesday was Prince Spaghetti Day!
Anyone else think of that the first time this thread came around?
Fess up!

THE DRYERS are needed even if you have a washer.
Large families in small apartments have little room in winter to dry indoors. Our winters can be quite severe and cold!
Larger items such as bedspreads, comforters, quilts, pillows, coats, sleeping bags, blankets, even bedsheets, slipcovers (for couches, sofas, settees)and for the times when you have a large family returning from vaction / holiday and you just want to get it all done quickly.
Often people bring area rugs, throw-rugs, dhurries, flokati rugs
and DING DING DING DING their doggie' textiles to keep the lint out of their HOME washer........
I have even seen painters throw their cloth dropcloths in laundromat washers.

Toogleswitch...
these poor "in the hood" families are lucky you only wanted to take pictures of their WASHING MACHINES and DRYERS.
The supers believed you, trusted who you were and allowed you into these poor families homes.
And, you could have been a serial killer...a mass murderer...that isn't funny to me...it's SCARY!!!

Have you ever emailed Toggle off-board?
Have you spoken with him on the telephone?
I have done both, frequently, and you have attempted to malign a decent man, sir!
Toggle's job involves photographing real estate, and I am certain with this, meant no harm in posting these shots. There are no humans or pets in them, and no identifying characteristics. No apartment numbers, or street signs, or anything like that.
Others may find these postings to be in questionable taste, but everyone has one, and it often smells.

Whats SCARY it the fact that you feel the right to judge someone you dont even know. You really should sweep your own sidewalk first .Maybe just a bit jealous, some of those kitchens are really VERY clean. You have the right to post and say as you wish here just why can he not be allowed to do the same??? If you are that scared run hide under the covers it will be over in a few days!

What gets me is how small those kitchens are, and I thought ours was small! I guess when you run out of floorspace, you just start stacking!
Where in the world does someone store all the cooking pots & pans in a place like that?

I happen to have had the pleasure of Toggles acquaintance for over five years now.
Thanks to a network of friends and dear acquaintances here at AW.org, I have also had occasion to learn of his professional activities and licenses.
He is a decent and upstanding member of the community.
He would not retain his licenses nor concessions to practice in the boroughs of NYC, were he to misuse even the slightest information entrusted to him for private gain.
In short, his behavior is and has always been impeccable.
You, sir or madam, are impugning the character and intentions of a man known to me to be a good person.
In future, may I suggest you think first and write not.
Most sincerely yours,
Panthera

Harry, you are absolutely right. The doors to people's Sanctum Sanctorum (their homes) are opened to me very quickly and easily. There is so much opportunity for malfeasance. I will not enter someone's home alone, always taking with me the superintendent/building manager. But please also know the building owner (or their representative) calls ahead by a few days or weeks and gets the Super to grant me an appointment. He knows why I am there and what I need to do. I don't randomly choose a buildng. The owner is either refinancing, or selling the building. Sometimes I am there to PRICE a buildng so it can be marketed and sold. Other times I am there on behalf of the bank with regard to the purchaser.
I want to thank all of you who defended me; HOWEVER, I was not one bit taken-aback or offened by any comments in this thread. Nor was I in ANY WAY attacked by anyone, IMHO.
Quote.... And, you could have been a serial killer...a mass murderer...that isn't funny to me...it's SCARY!!! Where 'you' = 'a random person at the door' I GOT IT! What I get from this is that Harry is a prudent, careful well-thinking man. Harry, I had the same thought. I believe I mentioned before in this thread the warmth, love, vivaciousness (sp?), or something along those likes, that so many of these tenants exhibit. As much as life and circumstance shoots them down they never give in or quit. LIFE MUST GO ON.
As a huge personal favor, I'd appreciate it if there were no further attacks on anyone, please, in this thread. I WAS NOT ATTACKED! As I have said before, if I was being an ass, email me since now I can edit my own posts! WE ALL HAVE (SOME)TWISTED WAYS OF THINKING AND I REALLY DON'T WANT TO SEE ANYONE CHASTISED. (Discplined with a leather whip and some mink-lined handcuffs, maybe......)So please let's go forward in the joy and spirit of good fun that was intended, and not let a few words trigger a flame war. 'Cause if there is a flame-war going to happen you know I am AW's resident flamer!
THE FOLLOWING IS A JOKE!
At least I didn't see the word 'rapist' in there-- that would infer/imply 'top' and Lawd knows one can only handle so many miracles at a time.
ARE WE ALL FRIENDS AGAIN?

WHO? WHAT?
One basement apartment (normally in 'every' building for the Super) exists here. It was subdivided into two apartments. I'm guessing the second one (one room) was for the porter/janitor. Space, then is quite limited.
So we see some kitchen items on the washer. I'm guessing this sink is used for shaving. Based on the salt and plastic tub, for foot-soaks as well. [this post was last edited: 5/12/2010-10:33]

Pot racks on the wall, pots on top of the stove and in oven.
The CORRECT response to running out of space is that you don't buy unless you have a space already planned for the item.
My granny had
a jelly-roll pan for spanakopita (ONE, with low sides)
a roasting pan (ONE)
ONE soup pot. Stainless steel
ONE frying pan. Stainless steel
Three shitty porcelain-enamel pots and pans 1, 2 and 3 quarts/litres in size.
and an authentic brass briki (IBRIK) for making Turkish coffee!
PERIOD. AND made the best meals ever! Good/abundant equipment does not equate to desirable results.
The Belgique brand pots and pans in #433692 are fantastic quality and variety / size selection as compared to others I have seen in the area. Sometimes, shopping is limited to what one finds in the immediate vicinty. Not many cars there and who wants to pay for a taxi / car-service all the time? [this post was last edited: 5/12/2010-09:51]
