dryer

There is no dishwasher, no washer and dryer.

My parents, now retired in Brazil, had me bring various things from L.A.: headphones, soft toothbrushes, hair dryers, sleeping pills, heating pads, slippers, nasal sprays, art books, cashmere sweaters.

In the homeware section, firms displayed everything from washing machines to tumble dryers, electric toothbrushes to juicers and waffle makers.

Ironically, it's all from men thinking they're tough guys, but of course, they melt down like snowflakes under a hair dryer at the mere sight of a woman smiling.

California native plants, on the other hand, prefer leaner and much dryer soils.
