Wow, you guys get the award for closest simultaneous posts ever!
I take it then that Ann never lived in an 800 square foot apartment.
the electric car, a vehicle so silent that the first sign of its approach is the sound of your pelvis breaking as the car hits you?
love it........now that`s Ann
After her dismal 2012, it looks like Annie has decided to write about things other than politics.
She’s auditioning to be the next Dave Barry...or Andy Rooney.
Not her nonsense again, she supported Romeny and helped him early on get the nomination and she loves Chris “the fat man rino” Christie.
Ann go away, she should be banned from this site.
Guess that's all Coulter has left...
I lost my respect for Ann when I realized she was mostly just flogging her book sales.
Then she backed Romney and that was it.
(I mean a lot of us backed Romney at the end out of anti-Obama-ism, but she was in early)
The “Energy Star” motors in dishwashers are about the size of tennis balls these days. A lot easier to make them quiet since they don’t do much. They used to be huge and the dishes got clean. Now, it’s common that stuff remains on things.
Ann....your 15 minutes are up....now go away.
Bad Invention: Anorexic political pundits who betray the people buying their books, and when repeatedly proved to be wrong, decide they really don’t like politics after all.
Actually I like the hands free bathroom fixtures in public restrooms.
Washed up skeleton bag hag Ann Corpse is reduced to spewing drivel. May she rot in hell.
Uh.... sorry Anne. My quiet dishwasher was well worth the extra $150 I paid. I would bet that you’ve never lived in a place with a contractors dishwasher. Damn things are so loud you have to turn the TV volume up to stun to be able to hear it. I suspect that my “quiet” dishwasher I paid extra for is what Anne is referring to when she speaks about a “gentle whoosh”. There is NOTHING “gentle” about a base level dishwasher. I’ve never seen a totally “silent” dishwasher, but just about anything that eliminates noise pollution is good in my book.
Ah, c’mon—she’s been in virtual hiding since her beloved chris christie didn’t make the top.
Pretty weak stuff here. That’s the column? Pretending to believe that a “silent” dishwasher — usually installed within 20 feet or so of the living room TV — should make everybody’s blood boil?
I would love to have a silent dishwasher. I have not yet sold enough books to have my kitchen so far away from my living room that I cannot hear mine and it is rather quiet. If you actually know of a dishwasher that is so quiet that you have to place your ear against the side to hear it, THAT would be worth telling us about. BTW - When I buy it I will just look at the run time clock to see when the wash cycle is done, thanks. You may want to pour through your owners manual on that one when you get done working on your phone volume.
As for the phone, I use the ring volume to turn off the ringer. I like my phone. I have no trouble turning off the ringer. I didn't use the manual to accomplish this task that is seemingly on the same level as string theory. If you don't like your phone go buy another one. Post your address and I'll donate to the relief effort.
The first place I used one of those high powered hand dryers was an airport. It was the same for automatic faucets and automatic towel dispensers. I am grateful to airports for implementing this due to the high volume of people and the likelihood of illness transmission. The same goes for rest stops on interstate highways. In my experience it is rare that something doesn't work and if there IS a malfunction I have figured out how to implement a difficult and arduous contingency procedure: I step to the side and use the one next to it. Now, a bit about how some faucets are turned up so high that they make a guy look like he wizzed all over himself may have been funny, but probably would not have worked for you. Oh well.
Ann: Leave the actual humor to Dave Barry. This is not for you. (PS - Eat Something!)
I’m not sure which is more ironic - that you two posted this at the exact same time, or that anyone bothered to post such claptrap at all...
I guess her love daddy Bill Maher is on vacation and she is bored.
