On your Post 38 I'm guessing that the eyeballs really weren't part of the hat. At first I thought they were real (it is a weird hat, with or without eyeballs), but then I noticed all of your other pictures were slightly edited ... so I'm guessing the eyeballs really weren't part of the hat.
Nice work on your photo postings. I'm going to save the 'You Are Poor' poster - that was good.

My hand washer is my other hand and I’m not thinking about replacing it.

As a hand washer, do I need to wash my hands, after going to the bathroom? Who washes my hands? Is there a succession system for hand washers?

Does she have a traditional hand wringer who comes in after the hand washer?
