@ShiroKuro said: Before we moved here, we bought a new set of LG washer and dryer that we liked. I think it was 2019, so the models are different now of course. If you’re shopping at HD, I would probably focus on LG or GE. From above Hotpoint = GE I like the orange letters used for the brand. Very trivial but still I'm easy to please at this point. The problem will be they won't haul away a washer with water and mine has about 4". Maybe I'll buy a Shop Vac.

@jon-nyc said: I continue to believe the forum is a better place with you here. Agreed. And this forum is a better place with all of us here.

@AdagioM I have found that when I get more than one at a time, I feel crummy, but so far, getting only one (of any sort) hasn't made me feel bad. In Dec. I'm scheduled for shot #2 of the shingle vax. Shot #1 made me feel horrible, so I'm really not looking forward to #2, which is said to be worse! BTW, I spent some time tweaking my presentation notes today, and then got back into bed... I think I forgot how to be sick. I'm pretty sure I'm not very sick, and pre-covid me would be powering through this. But after all these years of never getting sick, I think I've turned into a big baby!

That’s the song we use for CPR! It has the right BPM. I wonder if they tried…

@jon-nyc said: Again, if you can imagine some empathy for him, it’s actually sad he and his advisors chose this course. I agree. Someone I know, talking about when the right time to retire is, put it this way ‘leave when you’re an elder, not when you’re elderly’. Good advice!

Haha! Reminds me of the night took my step latter and tried to do an inventory of what dishes the previous residents had left in the cabinets over the stove. And did- but not after knocking a large Pyrex storage bowl and lid to the tile floor where it see shattered leaving chunks of glass and glass shards all over the floor, under the stove and refrigerator, into the hallway, and into the dining room. Broom. Dustpan. The glass shards had to be washed out of the broom and off of the dustpan. Vacuum. The floor attachment. The hose with no attachment. Spray cleaner bottle with vinegar and water. Paper towels. An unexpected time sink of 1 1/2 hours of working furiously. Not much one for getting glass splinters (or wood) if I can help it. Not fun. Inventory: Junk + 1 Pyrex type bowl with no lid, opaque brown color, Made in Mexico, probably during '70's. Very interesting. I kept it. My stove isn't staying on the wrong time, but I still haven't done it. Might have by now if the shower spray assembly didn't blow a gasket and proceed to damage my ceiling and floor my bathroom every time I took a shower for four days. Other bathroom (shower over bathtub) needs a plumber. Bought part. Fixed ceiling with a fan running all day pointed at it. Aluminum foil and duct tape. Fixed assembly. Seven hours work total. I could live without anything like this happening again soon. It seems like such a small thing to accomplish. But in truth there is so much house work, so many cleaning projects, so many deep cleaning projects, so many organization projects, that there's always something. They'll be a moment when I decide to do it and I'll do it then. WCIS

I'm getting lost in time and space reading that website. LOL! I need to get some work done here! I might just have to get a copy of his book.

A month ago, according to rumor "news" Toyota was bringing an EV with a battery that would charge quickly and be good for over 600 miles to market. A couple of days ago, the "news" was that Toyota will produce an AREV (advance range electric vehicle), battery powered, but with a small motor running a generator to charge the batteries. General Motors early EV was electric with a small motor generator, but they were poorly made and caught fire too often from what I read. Many locomotives are electrical with diesel powered generators and have been for years.

Same experience with autobrakes as jon-nyc. I haven't found where to turn it off in my car yet. Related and very annoying is that if I'm backing out of a space on a busy street, my steering wheel vibrates, the dashboard lights flash and an alarm rings every damn time a car passes behind me. FFS, I know there's traffic there! As far as spying, of course today's cars spy. They send speed info the insurance companies. I am led to believe that my car does not do that though, I was adamant with the salesperson.

There’s one vote for impeachment right there.
