    • I’m sorry, my friend. I’m just glad she’s at least tolerant with this part of you. How did you come out to her or did you tell her up front when you guys started dating? And for the record, “weird” ain’t a dirty word. When I first got with my wife, I told her that she’s weird as hell and that I loved her for it. Still do. We’re weird people in general. Let’s own that! 😎
    • I really love your humours comments and had a good laugh at it. Heat pump dryers repeat a process of heating air, running the air through the clothes to pick up the moisture, condensing the air against a cold surface to remove the water, using the energy gained from transfer of heat, places that heat back into the air and running that same heated air back through the clothes multiple times. A heat pump is a glorified fridge in reverse, moving heat from one surface to another. It surprises me that it took from 1834 (invention of fridge) to now to use the process of heat transfer to turn it into a way to heat something instead of just cooling something. Even car makers use similar for car airconditioning cooling and heating in 1902. Even the peltier device / peltier effect device, a normally 12v metal plate, moves heat across a semiconductor electronically, can replace the mechanical process of compression and expanding of a liquid to absorb and disapate heat - what the heat pump does, but in a tumble dryer, it is advantagous to have a motor spinning to drive a fan and the drum and using the same one to also drive the compressor in the heat pump is copying the car concept of using the engine spinning to drive its associated units - the battery recharging device, the fuel pump, the a/c compressor, the coolant pump, the oil pump, the power steering pump etc - some more modern cars now have individual electric motors to drive the associated devices, but the concept of using the excess and wasted force of the engine to pump its own fluids around is a conservation of energy concept. In simple terms, the heat pump based dryer should be as fast as a normal dryer, but due to the way it recycles the heat, it has a lower loss of heat per cycle than non heat pump dryers. The speed it works to dry clothes is all based on the efficency of the cooling and heating plates, where when they are contaminated, the heat has a third element to pass through. Cleanliness and mainteance with heat pump dryers is a must - i.e. never use a heat pump dryer on clothes that are not 100% clean directly from the washing machine, as any non water on clothes is a contaminant. 
    • Camila was overjoyed to hear her call her mommy, she knew this was the first small step in getting Emily to be her new baby, but it was a step. When they got into the dining room Camilla said, "Ana look who I have with me, two adorable but naughty little angels who have very grumbly tummies." Camilla put Emily and Alice in their high chairs before putting bibs around their neck she saw that Madison had already left likely she was in the living room with Becca.
