#338: Priceless!
Once the deck and the new garage are on though, we probably will be. :-(
True.
Washer troubles and idiosyncracies:
Wobbles? check load - it might have shifted.
Groans? Needs bearing lubed or replaced and possibly also the belt.
Makes odd articulate noises: that is the clutch solenoid - it activates when the next part of the cycle begins such as from wash to spin and rinse.
Last, but not least, in mine (top load) there is a metal bar/spring type device with a plastic button that rests on the edge of the tub to keep the tub from wobbling during the spin cycle. That plastic button wears down over time and the device’s grip on the tub loosens.
Experience with a top of the line Kenmore Washer that dates back to when my nearly 20 year old daughter was in diapers.
I just got back from having my eyes examined and when I walked out of lensCrafters, I went directly across the mall to the cookie shop and bought two double chocolate fudge cookies and a double fudge nut brownie.
*sob-snif*
hey, LoM! Are you recovered from your rassel with the woodpile?
Hello, everyone!!!
Hey, Sandy!
How are you doing? It’s good to see you again! *hug*
Hanging in there.
Staring out my window looking at the nice, blue sky and wondering why I’m indoors.
Darn working for a living.
Our skies are “iffy” today with lots of wind in the forecast. I may as well be in Alaska, for the way it’s blowing here.
Or Chicago. Wait. That’s in the People’s Republic of Illinois, and I don’t wanna be there...
We had lots of wind and rain this morning. I almost did a Mary Poppins when I got off the bus and deployed my umbrella.
You’d be surprised how many Mary Poppins episodes we have here...no one expects the desert to be windy, but Vegas is in a “bowl” and the wind just races around it like a NASCAR.
I hate the bus route that services this area: it’s once an hour and only goes in once direction. Meeting up with another bus in the grid is an exercise in sanity.
I’ve applied to the paratransit system here, but since I used to work for them, I think they are going to refuse my application. This time, I won’t tolerate it.
LOL!
We had a Maytag that pulled a support bolt out of the floorpan, so it would then hop across the floor.
I was in the laundry room the day it did this.
It hopped across teh floor and bumped into me.
I spun around to look at it, and it hopped backwards.
[Looked like it had jumped back.]
Then it started moving towards me, so I stepped to my right.
The washer followed.
I stepped left, the washer followed.
I backed up into the slop sink and started yelling and the washer moved forward at me some more and started making horrid banging noises.
I have finally reached the point where I can have someone touch me. Last Thursday I went for xrays and an evaluation at the chiropractor’s. I took a substantial hit in several places - neck, left shoulder hips and knees. My spine is twisted in several places and bone spurs are present in most of my joints. It is going to take some time for the swelling to subside so that things can be moved back into place and stay put. I need a source of Omgea 3 fish oil WITHOUT SOY!!!! Apparently that helps reduce inflammation. NSAIDs are contraindicated with Benicar. I want to get off that stuff.....
Oh, that is darling (Leroy)!
Didn’t the cookies and brownie make you feel better?
Re: 304: I can’t stop lol-ing!
Soy sucks. The Orientals used it only during times of famine, and today’s soy is only palatable as soy SAUCE! Any other forms of soy, (tofu, soy milk, etc) will beat up on your digestive system.
If soy is in the first five ingredients of a product, I will NOT buy it.
check out iherb.com for things to help your inflammation.
Sounds like me, after a few.
Maybe it's not really possessed, and is simply infected. Ate a bad sock, perhaps?
