Water Cooler 2

hmmm---I seem to be detecting an anti-hubby mood today----apologies to all the men out there.

Sometimes you just have to get things off your chest.

I'm all for women getting things off their chest.

ha ha!

Oh Victor, you're always good for a laugh!
Our microwave is about 20 years old, and I have to bang on it to get it started. Probably won't get a new one, til banging doesn't help, or I break the door off.

Thanks Deb. I'll restrain myself from responding to your choice of words about getting a new microwave!

Wow! A lot of water over the dam since I last posted here.
Happy new appliances everyone!

deb, make sure your door isn't loose that's how it leaks radiation.

Candyce -- be careful with Sears (she said after it was too late). Our faithful old washer died last winter. Very sad. We rush off to Sears (of course) to get a new one. They talk us into getting a new LoE energy saving washer, it'll save us so much on our water bill it'll pay for itself in a year. We wouldn't know -- we bought it in January, by March SOMETHING was wrong, we spent a while working on the hot water heater but by May for sure the washer wasn't working. We spent the WHOLE summer [May, June, July, August, September] without a working washing machine. IF only we had saved receipts from all the quarters at laundromats, we could've been reimbursed, and we DID get the ok to rent one, IF there were a place to put it and IF we got it into and outof the house ourselves. We did purchase the extended warranty -- that means that after four separate service calls they'll replace it for free. But each service call is 1] we call up and try to fix it over the phone with someone 2] we make an appointment for them to come 1 - 2 weeks later 3]they come, decide that it really is broken (including, on more than one occasion, spending the whole day home because they're coming between 1 and 5 pm, at 5:30 pm they call and say they'll try to come tomorrow) and order a part. 4]wait up to 6 weeks (no joke) for the part to arrive 5]call back and make ANOTHER appointment 1 - 2 weeks later 6] (try not to repeat 3], above) they come fix it, they leave. we try to do a load of laundry, go back to step 1] above! If we complete steps 1 - 6 four separate times, they'll replace the whole thing. One round of this can last two months, and that's if you can make all the appointments!

Be afraid, Candyce, be very afraid.

Trying to get downstream from you Dave.

Did I miss Appliance Day? This is what I wanted:

I was doing some reseach on a dahlia someone is disputing of mine, I've seen my plants come up before in Google - but not my whole list
http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/zipbymember.php?user=bigcityal
must be something newer

That's quite a list Al! Interesting, you didn't create that?

No - I've only seen them come up individually, must be from the zipcode report.

Yes - in My Info, click on Zipcode Reports and it comes up.

Carrie:

Thanks for the warning about SEARS. (She said, holding her breath that this doggone machine will be fine for the next three years or so!)

What's cool about this dryer is that there's a small light inside so that we can find the missing '23-19s'.

23-19s? Very small jeans?

I'm thinking the tragic story of the twenty-three 19 yr. olds who were lost in a dryer.

Oh yeah. That was so sad! And their poor families!!

x, Carrie

They never checked the lint trap. I think it was a conspiracy.

Honey, I shrunk the kids in the dryer, and now they're gone!

I don't know if I am on DSL or what. I know it is not cable as that is cha ching. Cable is a tad faster.

Honey I shrunk the kids in the dryer and now their gone??? Ocassionally I would like to do that to DH, if I could just stuff him threw the door!!!!

I wonder if dryer lint is the same quality as navel lint?

Depends if you have an inny or an outty.............

What if you're a ninny with an Audi?

You would definitley not get into the dryer door unless you were at a carwash! Lint would be minimal.

Victor, how to you come up with these?

I'd rather have Lindt than lint.

Ohhhhhh grampapa! Me too!

If I said "Monsters, Inc." , would you remember what 23-19 means?

Wow - way too much grandparenting Candyce! I loved the one eyed guy.

There can never be enough grandparenting. I will miss it when they all get old enough to graduate high school. Let's see ... that should be in another eighteen years!!

If you're ever in Vegas at M & M's world they show a short movie about where all the lost socks go. It was real cute.

My computer friend has developed some code where I am able to see everyone who voted (or didn't) for me in the Photo Contest. I'm sure I can count on all of my dear friends here!

Dryer lint can been composted!

x, C

really??
never thought of it----

I didn't recognize any of your work.

All my clothes are 100% synthetic, not so good for compost.
Jerry Seinfeld had a sock in the dryer bit in one of his old stand-up routines. Also funny.

Candyce, Monsters inc still not doing it for me.

Even your undies? Itchy, synthetic drawers... hmmmm. I think I'll stick with cotton.

Dave47:

"23-19!!!!" is what the crew would shout as a warning if a child happened to see them and tried to follow one of the monsters back to the 'factory'. Does that help?

Doesn't help me either, never saw it.
