I'm supposed to be shopping for a new washer right now, and I keep putting it off. I've found sites that give free shipping...cuz otherwise, it'd be crazy expensive. But the problem is comparison shopping, so I just keep putting it off. .... as the laundry pile gets higher.... *sigh*
It seems like the world stands still when a washer or dryer breaks......especially a washer......been there and done that a few times over the years....... They are made so cheaply nowadays.....one time a washer guy came out to fix it and he said to go buy a new one instead......sigh.

I agree about how cheaply washers are made nowadays. I remember buying washers and having them last for 20 years or more.

In 2007 I bought an expensive LG front-loader washer and dryer. The dryer has been ok but the washer had to be repaired three times, under warranty, in the first two years.

One of those times the computer went out and it took four weeks to get in the parts (because LG doesnt allow companies to stock its parts). At the time I had an old, old dog who was incontinent and I used many thick throw rugs all over the house. Imagine being without a washer for a month and having to haul all those thick rugs to the laundromat almost every night (after working 10-12 hours each day). Was I ever irritated at LG!

Happy Friday!!

I feel like such a jerk. I said something negative about a site that Bob posted and the owner
of the site saw it. I just hate hurting anyone's feelings. Sometimes we post while forgetting their are real people on the other end of things. I will go repent.....and then send a note of apology.

Hey Starr....tomorrow (Saturday) Sears is having a BIG sale on wash machines & dryers. Thought you might want to check it out.

I've tried to keep up with posting even though it has been really busy at work this week. I like busy because it means more money, but I sure end up getting behind on here.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!

Surely that wasnt the revived Smashing Resumes thread? I didnt think you were diss-ing Smashing Resumes. I interpreted your comment as complaining about how colleges offer some fairly dumb courses. And I didnt think the gal from Smashing Resumes took offense at your comment either.

If that woman who suggested that you get $5 from each freebie site ever sees the Smashing Resumes gal's post, offering you, and especially Bob, thank-you gifts, she'll be accusing both of you of getting kickbacks.

What I did was take off the front panel and take that to an appliance repair shop. He took one look and said it'd be cheaper to buy a new one. And he didn't even charge me! Over the phone, he'd said it would be $25 to diagnose, so I was glad abt that.
