Staying alive. Or not.

It's that time of year again!

I can agree with all of it completely without the need to conjour empathy for a psychopath.

The water has been standing for six months in Sub-Tropical Florida.

It's bio-hazard wastewater.

I can't really do that and put the towels in my dryer.

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.

I like this one.

Knobs not dials (trivial but still)

Manual option for water height

Setting to lock lid only during spin cycle

Washer from Hell

I added "agitator" and took away "impeller".

I wouldn't.

Finally! The financial logistics have been solved!

This has been a saga!

What a relief.

Long story short, I MUST shop a washer from Home Depot.

It's not a secret I'd rather raise the budget and buy a mechanical Speed Queen, but the absolute cost in terms of sensibility (not long term cost analysis) is the thing.

If it has a 1 year warranty and melts down in 3 so be it.

I don't care anymore.

That would be 3 years of having a washer, an infinity better course of action than letting this junk washer sit here for one day longer than it can be taken away.

I know it's a "least worse" option choice but that's OK. One might have a slight better reputation, or have features that would make it easier to live with, that kind of thing.

Thanks!

Ps Not the Amana. That's the junked washer I have now.

For the record, I'm glad you're here.

And why should I not share this now.

You're the only reason I'm here.

I mean still posting.

A long time ago (a long time ago and I don't remember the details), I had a disagreement (ok,now I remember the details but discretion forbids revisit in public) and it was the one and only time I was in fact going to walk away over a disagreement from my first day at TNCR until this day.

You told me "I think the forum is a better place with you here" and that was what changed my mind.

I'd miss the forum (and the hobby) as well as the fact I'd be bereft if I had excommunicated myself with this group who "speak my language."

So I have since held an abiding appreciation for your posts here.

"Anti-Semitism" is a deliberately formulated propagandistic term. Citation upon request.

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.

@jon-nyc I'm not sure who "they" are or why they tried to kill you (not something you read on a forum every day), but it seems to me, in terms of world religions, comparative religion, it's just one organized religion among many. What if we attributed the violence Christians have done in history (nothing short of barbarism and savagery) with Christianity as a religion? Well, speaking for myself, I am a Christian, and I wouldn't let anyone put these deeds on me for one complete second.

There are all kinds of bollards and other barriers that were installed as part of the project to make Oxford Street car-free.

Lord Khan’s pedestrianisation of Oxford Street “discriminates” against wheelchair users and the visually impaired, disability campaigners have said.

The scheme was described as “shockingly bad” and discriminatory because it restricts access to the street.

Campaigners criticised inconveniently placed benches and bollards, and ramps that were “painful” to mount. They added that shops were also more difficult to access now that there was no direct public transport.

This isn't a "Christmas market" thing. The plan to close off Oxford Street has been in the works for a long time. They did rush to get it in before Christmas to maximize foot traffic to businesses during the holiday shopping season.

Everyone's a critic.

He will be remembered as one of the most corrupt politicians in American history. His illegal and illegitimate denial of a vote for or against Obama's last Supreme Court nominee will attach ignominy to his name forever, not that any of his other conduct is deserving of an once of respect.

But he is comedy gold.

You haven't articulated and neither have you demonstrated any "radical" position(s) you allege the DSA (let's call a spade a spade") members hold let alone demonstrated that the same are out of the "mainstream."

The mainstream is in opposition to what the government is doing in the US and in the world.

This opposition WAS the reason for this blue wave/ tsunami.
