Excellent idea! Congrats!

I used to have a Danby (Canada) portable washer. Loved it!

Your LG lasted 3 years? I was just talking about this in the other thread! My 2 year old Amana just died.

Good luck!

On the other hand, we gave Harry and Meghan back. Major win.

We took them from Britain. Lucky us. What human scum they turned out to be.

Thanks, so much SK, Adagio, Joe and Andy!! : )

@andyd Do I have lists?

I don't have a long list of things I really want. I want a good full size mattress set!

I have a long list of household things to have inspected by contractors and fixed.

My clothes washer was 2 yrs old. It died. I'm getting a replacement different make from Lowe's.

I want a Speed Queen all mechanical model at 2x the price but it's not in my budget.

So the new scam is the electronic circuit board controls fail after a year or two and nobody can fix them.

My bathroom has a minor leak. The source point is the bathroom vent cap on the roof. Also, the previous owner took the duct away from the actual fan to the roof.

You can turn it on when you take a shower and it blows water up into nowhere.

Similar is the floor structure. A few of the times are loose and a few broken from normal use not damage.

Everything is white tile with a barely noticable slightly raised diamond pattern; I don't know who would make such a choice but it's tile in the sub-tropics- so it's all good.

Well, these structures need something called a vapor barrier under the floor.

This plastic vapor barrier and the AC unit's duct system have to be maintained or eventually new instalations and repairs @ x sq ft would be approx. 7k.

I've got to get estimates in September.

I'm sleeping on a $200 Wal-Mart all in one mattress. I put a folded towel over it and prevent the metal springs from causing pain, discomfort, and nerve damage.

I want a GOT certified wool mattress. I'm an Anglophile and a history fan. Sleeping on an organic wool mattress is an interesting idea to me. It seems archaic in a good way. But $$.

I wish you and your wife many years of restfulness and happiness with your new mattress!

BTW, I was able to find the perfect size rug for the living room. It covers as much floor space as it can without blocking any air vents.

Wal-Mart, 100% wool, hand-tufted in India, garden pattern, not organic dyes of course. $399. Not a great price but met requirements.

Then I got a great little canister vacuum for less than $70 that's a Miele base model copy and slightly miniaturized. Bag. Filter. Clever!

I thought some of you mind this link interesting.

Omg!

She didn't have sex with men to advance her career.

She explains this all here.

Btw, Madonna slept with whoever she thought would benefit her career and then dumped them.

I don't understand promiscuity.

But that's just me.

I got a generic brand holder, backlit keyboard.

It's a laptop!

I had mixed feelings about buying an Apple product but I'm in love.

Band.

Stuff on this can be found all over YouTube.

Oh wow. Listen to her leading Smokey Mountain folk songs.

Yes and seems so random as always.

@jon-nyc said:

Yes, and Madonna took the first "selfie" in "Desperately Seeking Susan."

I mean this as a cultural phenomenon, strictly speaking.

People have been pointing cameras at themselves and others for a long time.

Lol!

Well, they were a communist country for the better part of a century.

I will make a note to unpack my smallest violin to play for the oligarchs whose assets are seized.

I know the subtext is- "Putin bad!"

10 years of Trump the Ubiquitous and- "Putin bad!" have made a long 10 years.

I know this is a legitimate news story but Russia didn't practice "capitalism," either before the break up of the USSR, or after.

Interesting.

QEII had them. Assume she could have had any breed. That's a recommendation.

Not a dog person.

Wouldn't know where to begin.

I wanted to post "tang" but thought better about it. : )

Just yesterday replaced the power cords (a couple were at least 40 yrs old!) and rearranged everything I have plugged into them.

I haven't learned to use my fire extinguishers (I know - super dumb) yet or my very unusual trap door.

I will.

My father was an electrician. I miss being able to ask him questions.

@bernard wait, you have an electric co-op? How does that work.

I have no choice but Duke Energy.

Yes, from North Carolina.

It's expensive and the billing options are complex but no choice.

Bring back public utilities.

Congrats on your new service!

She was already legendary in the early ’70’s; she was a great entertainer; she was humble; and, she meant a lot to the people who identified with her, for all kinds of reasons. Rest in peace.

A traumatic brain injury can result in the skull hitting or being hit with less than 10 mph or force moving against a stationary object.

At least that's what the advocacy group told us after my then 16 year old brother's skull hit the stationary A pillar of a crashed truck at 40 mph with no seatbelt.

Anyone who thinks some football players aren't being severely damaged is an idiot.
