We had a conversation a while back on how long it's taking for large items to be delivered. We ordered a new washer/dryer back in early-mid November, delivered today. So it took four months.

Luckily it was our dryer and not our washer that broke. So a nice to have, not a need to have. We've been ok hanging everything to dry. I've gotten used to crunchy towels, it will be amazing to have soft towels again! #fwp

Gotta wonder what the other excuses they came up with were when they decided this one sounded the best. In case you think this wasn't thought out by them and they issued this excuse in a rush - this came hours after he denied it was him, and was given as an excuse in a written multi-paragraph press release detailing what a good Christian family man he is, that his colleague didn't do anything, and that his diabetes is to blame for this. Cause sugar spikes cause racism apparently.

Is the term "misspoke" out of fashion now for cases like this? :roll:

As a diabetic (Type 2) this really pi**ed me off. I guess they count on everyone being stupid enough to go for this (apparently not too many did). A sugar spike or drop is no joke and to my knowledge has never been known to cause racism.

It still does not cease to amaze me. Black people kneel for a verifiable cause, and it causes a storm. Jan 6th happened, and nothing happened.
The myopia is absolute.
As for the diabetes excuse: a new low. Which will be broken sooner or later.

Diabetics are LIVID. They cannot believe they were brought into this.

Including how many off-branches? That is indeed insane if they are first cousins. But if he is counting the 23&ME ones, may be more sensible.
