Does their double-ended dildo count as an appliance?

Did you miss the part about them spending more than the cost of new appliances to maintain that crap.

Thanks, OP that was very cool. It's impressive that they keep them in running condition.

I mean, I could see this on a smaller scale but to spend almost 50K is bizarro.
I guess they realized queens who collect Fiestaware or other kitchenware are a dime a dozen, and they just had to be EXTRA.

I still have a vivid memory of seeing the most fantabulous pink Speed Queen washer and dryer set at the Alpha Thrift Store on State Street in Santa Barbara back in the '80s.

I’d kill for an older washing machine. I miss the way the used to use enough water to get the job done.

Which of you queens is doing this with their partner? You just know it's one of us.

R15: Only if it's a Suds Saver model. That way you can use reuse wash water and help the environment. My grandmother had one when I was young in the 80s and 90s and it was the most awesome machine. I seriously think this YouTube video is one of their machines.

Yes, major aspie vibes. Reading the comments I found out they've split a couple of years ago.
[quote] You can go to their website automaticwasher.org OR to vacuumland and see the dialogue from ....2 to 3 years back. Fred's old screenname at Vacuumland is no longer active, though his old discussions are still there but the profile is now closed. Clearly Robert kept the website, washers, and house.

I inherited an electroluxe vacuum cleaner and it is a beast! It’s been sucking up dirt since 1950.

Merman’s bf was hot as hell too. I sounded if Eric’s dirty talk is centered around his pretend fish parts.

The problem with colored appliances:
1) Colors are almost always proprietary to a single brand, limiting choices for other appliances if they have to be the same color.
2) By the time one appliance needs replacement, new ones in that color are either unavailable or severely limited... which means ONE new appliance to replace turns into 2, 3, or 4+.
3. If you picked cabinet colors or tile around the color of 79e new appliances, you're quite possibly fucked due to problem #2.
White is the only halfway-universal appliance color. Black is a very distant second. Stainless varies RADICALLY between mfrs (ex: Frigidaire/Whirlpool vs Samsung vs GE).
Actually, stainless is worse. At least you can take white to an auto body paint shop & attempt a color match if you don't mind spending as much as you paid for the appliance itself.

I thought "on the spectrum" and OCD from just reading the thread title. It reminded me of this story of a kid who collected over a 150 vacuum cleaners and had an obsession since infancy. He vacuums his own house five times a day. This story is 12 years old. I wonder what happened to him
[quote]"When Kyle was a baby in his little baby seat and I'd be vacuuming, he would just be mesmerized by the vacuum and he would just; he'd follow it everywhere," she says.
[quote]Kyle got his first vacuum at age 1, dressed up as a Dirt Devil for Halloween at 2, and, as a former teacher recalls, was vacuuming during school recess at age 6.
[quote]"It's not that he didn't like recess. He just preferred to stay inside vacuuming," he says. "He would go down and, actually, one day vacuum one side of the room, the next day vacuum the other side. [He'd] also vacuum the principal's office — anywhere he could vacuum."

When Kyle hit puberty, did he find interesting ways to use the attachments?

Well, I didn't anticipate his life would take this turn. I was thinking a STEM major.
[quote] I’ve just finished high school and plan to take a year off before going to college, to major in musical theatre. I actually made a lot of contacts in the entertainment industry through being on television, so vacuum cleaners could turn out to be responsible for helping my future stage career.

An entire basement devoted to vintage appliances seems extravagant but those old Maytag machines were fantastic and built like tanks. I love the look as well, especially the illuminated panels and dials.

Yes, I used to follow those appliance websites....automatic washer and vacuumland...and its true they are overrun with the most evil people....esp the webmaster.......who promotes bashing among his buddies against his detractors.....but will delete people who are bashed when they speak up.....someone needs to sue that nelly gypsy bastard for allowing defamation and libel on his website....esp when he goes out of his way to promote it......the worst are the Hoover vacuum collectors and the Frigidaire washer guru's.....they worship those brands like icons....esp the one guy from PA that is an ex defrocked priest....who gave up Jesus for the Hoover logo......its very sad !
