All over the internet recently, sciFy vs. reality and a Mars satellite for petty cash:
That breaks the monopoly. Faced with the spectre of other nations publishing uncensored Mars images, NASA and JPL have started publishing some much more obvious images than they have in the past including a totally uncensored video (JPL) showing large-scale structure.
A few items...

I gained more weight, but that was the inevitable outcome of my deliberate choices over the last two weeks. At least it wasn’t more.
Now I’m going to see what’s up with the warranty on the washer.
Well, that wasn’t so bad. And the receptionist is a real eye-popper so it will be fun to go in for my appointments
Now if I can just figure out where I left my right arm. It no longer seems to be respondiing to my commands.
Good luck on the washer. I hope they will honor the warranty. I remember the last time you were without one...
I know about those two pounds. Tomorrow is my weigh day, and I’m not optimistic. When I don’t have the fresh and frozen stuff I rely on, my diet suffers from apathy.
I think it’s time for me to go clean the kitchen.
That's a good one!
When I threatened to cry, they set up a service call for tomorrow. If they can't fix it, they'll have to replace it. This is the same point at which my previous washer croaked (3-1/2 years) only this time I got the 5-year warranty.
Lets hope the gaudy, nasty fast food slop producers only infect this planet.
Interesting. My wife always asks me to make such calls because she thinks service people show more respect to men. I’ll have to tell her about the ‘threatening to cry’ angle.
Most times, a warranty is nothing but pure profit for the salesperson, but there are times when it pays off. A family the size of yours can’t afford to NOT have a service policy on a washer.
Busdaddy needs to get his CDL renewed, and that is proving to be a job for Superman. I’m not getting involved in it. He can do his own legwork.
I just made a batch of cookies, but most of them will be given away. I will allow myself one or two a day and freeze what I can’t use because “out of sight, out of mind.”
And this, after I cleaned the kitchen! LOLZ!
Tomorrow, if I feel up to it, I will bring in the bookcase parts and get them assembled so I can put it behind the door. It’s the perfect spot. It won’t detract from the room space because the door already does that when it’s open. :o]
I always ask for a supervisor or manager, and I’m polite to the extreme when I do. I learned how to do that when I was a CSR, and not having had a man around since 1989, I do fairly well without threatening to cry. Of course, being a military wife and mother for 30 years helps, too...but, ya know...? Whatever it takes to get the job done.
When you’ve got an older gentleman on the phone, the possibility of hysterics can make him cough up a technician, tomorrow.
It’s not an act - I really will have a meltdown in short order without my washer. I’ve left Tom at the Laundromat, burning through $20 in quarters.
Sleep any where, any time
” Three and a half years for a washer in the Tax-chick household is like seventeen years somewhere else.”
LOL......more like 26 years.
I know how that works...I’ve seen it done, but Vegas is a hard town. One often gets farther by asking for a supervisor.
I understand about your meltdown...with as many loads of laundry as you do a day, I would have a meltdown, too. No kidding.
Well, hello, Stranger! Fancy seeing you in these here parts! Did you have to use your oars and water wings in the recent storms?
I have high moral standards, and would never associate with oars!
more flying squirrel pics to follow!
LOL The last time I saw Bullwinkle and his misses was last winter.....of course I didn’t have a camera. lol
I suppose eithers are a no-no too?
;-)
Absolutely!
: )
“Do we have any oars in this boat?”
“No, and we don’t have any damned ‘aggis, either!”
