Has it really been three years since you bought that new washer? Wow - seems like it hasn’t been that long. I hate to think that appliances have such a short life span -

I know. I tried to post it yesterday when it all started coming down, but the only sources I could find were blocked by the “do not post” from Gannett and AP.

delawareonline.com has all the details.

Interestingly enough, that same Delaware paper has NOTHING about the allegations regarding Weiner and the texting to a Delaware teen.

Yeah, there’s no way a computer belongs in a washing machine. Some things benefit from advanced controls - others are best served by a big old knob.

I was supposed to go to Boardman next week, but that go canceled. So I’ll be on the road tomorrow too for a fireworks run.
