Welcome christobelle.

I had to laugh at the word substitutions. Long ago I said "airport" instead of "post-office."

I also told someone that I was late because I could't find a "parking meter." I meant a "public phone." They are both things on the street that you put money into. Similarly, is your "washing machine" substitution for "bathtub." These are relevant and should be reported.

I hope you will have some answers and a plan in April.
