Because I trust you, I'm not even going to watch the next time I use one!
(Yes I will, but I won't tell you about it...k?
) For some reason, I'm still having trouble wrapping my mind around it....not how it works, but how it doesn't hurt the machine or cause extra wear on it...but again...I trust you so it's a moot point!
