Why all of this anger?

Meh - it's my fault. I'm no stranger to writing letters when warranted, but I really feel like this was my mistake. These things are designed to dissolve/melt in a washing machine that probably reaches far lower temps than a hot car. Plus, if it's a dissolving issue, if only one of the pods burst/melted, it would dissolve the others it came in contact with. While I didn't notice any warnings on the packaging, it's common sense to remove potentially-melty stuff from a car on a hot day. I don't leave my lipstick in there, and I don't think there are warnings on lipstick packaging. So yeah, I take the blame for this one. Perhaps that's why it makes me SO ANGRY!!

Oh, I've already tried them. They're the bomb. I bought a smaller package so I could try them out before committing to the jumbo package (and, of course, Murphy's Law would dictate that the jumbo package would be the one to get destroyed). I love them. Between them and my Bounce bars, I don't have to measure anything, I don't get detergent/fabric softener spots on my laundry, and I don't have to worry about drips. Love it.

OMG...the Bounce bar. I love the Bounce bar, too! Anything to avoid those stupid sheets stuck to everything, showing up down a pants leg when you least expect it. Love, Love, LOVE!

Gain has a dryer bar now too- and it fits in the Bounce Bar holder thing. I just wish I could just buy refill bars- I don't need the part that attaches to the inside of the dryer every time I buy a new one.

Too much detergent talk; not enough anger.

How about both? If we get the apartment we've been in negotiations for in Brooklyn, it won't have a washer/dryer hookup, and we'll have to go to a laundromat, and that will make me angry.

Our dryer is broken. That makes me pretty mad.

SydneyK: leave all your car windows cracked a bit, your car interior won't get nearly as hot. And park where there's shade, even if it's a mile from the store. Everyone in AZ knows that. Duh.

I have to go to Discount Tires today. It doesn't smell like TidePods or Bounce or whatever. I've never been to Brooklyn. I have my own washer and dryer. I'm tired of being angry, mean, and evil; Princess Insufferable, have at it.

Back when we lived in the tiny city apartment with no laundry - I just bought a whole lot of extra underwear so we didn't have to do laundry so often. When we did have to to go to the laundry, we would get up early, pack up the car and drive to the laundromat before there was anyone there. Then we would fill 7 or 8 machines with laundry, go next door and grab a pastry and coffee and do all the laundry at once.

If you get there early enough - you can do all of it at once and before the homeless guys are up to ask you for quarters.
Ah- memories....
