Happy to report it all worked out fine. The laundry is clean and dry and the machines are clean too. Think it was the air fluffing in the dryer with a dryer sheet that took out the static and allowed the "particles" to go to the filter. Boy, is that stuff slippery when its wet on the floor so watch out friends! Looks and feels just like slush!
My GS is a doll and we share many laughs. But I will never in this world tell him that last Wednesday I grilled him a spider with his cheese sandwich!! No lie! He's just 10 and hates them. Imagine standing at the stove with him right behind you chatting and you go to flip the sandwich and notice this big, shiny black abdomen and 8 crispy legs. How I managed to remain in place without uttering a sound I don't know! Stunned I guess. Anyway I calmly took it out and he enjoyed his lunch! You have to understand that they were the last 2 pieces of cheese!
