Yes, she will be with us. I'm considering letting her do the Pirate Cruise or Alice Tea Party so that would be our only time without her, yet it wouldn't be enough time for anything more than a counter service lunch probably.
How about someplace with really good chocolate cake? Would he like the chocolate lava cake at Kona? Or were you thinking of ordering a cake?
Plus I spent like all of my free time dealing with my bank mess. Which is still not straightened out. They have contacted the federal bank organization to try and get the money back and apparently now I am supposed to wait. Not likely. I am calling the police again on Monday, as I was told to do if they were not helpful at the bank. They are still not being super helpful, wouldn't let me file the dispute or affidavit that the money was taken out, like I have been told I need to do. I don't think they are following the proper procedures and I am going above their head.
I can't believe this! I would be so mad. I would definately call the police again and the banking commisionare (sp?) is that by state?
Can you give me details on the washer/dryer. Mom is still looking for one. I think you said Maytag, but which model. How does it work? Will it hold a king sized comforter? Does it shake alot? I know that she will ask me all those questions.
I checked out consumers reports and the LG steam did get the highest ranking at something like 83 points but one of the Kenmores, Whirlpool Duet and Maytag Epic all got 79 points. The saleswoman at Sears said the Maytag Epic was made by Whirlpool. The owner at the small appliance store said all 3 were made by Whirlpool. Sears and Home Depot both carry the LG but neither my appliance dealer or the larger one in a bigger town or Lowes carry the LG. I was afraid to purchase a much more sophisticated machine when the folks I would call if something went wrong couldn't fix it. I think the steam would be cool but that machine was $500 more.
Consumer reports did say that due to new regulations put into effect on January 1st of this year if you want clean clothes you really need to buy a front loader.
I really wanted to buy locally. We have had very good service on everything else we have purchased from these folks. It is a really nice family business. I probably would have gone with the Whirlpool given my problems with the Maytag Neptune (tell your Mom
NOT to buy one of those!!!) but my dealer won't be carrying those for another few weeks and I didn't want to wait. I could have gotten the Maytag Epic at
Best Buy for $100 cheaper but the local place squeeze us in for delivery and delivery was free (I don't know what Best Buy charges for delivery but it isn't free and I just checked online and it would be more than 2 weeks-I'd spend the $100 in the laundrymat).
The Maytag Epic (and the Whirlpool Duet and the Kenmore as they are all the same machine) is a 4 cu ft as is the LG. It is much bigger than my old Neptune front loader (3. something) and that was way bigger than my old top loader. I was surprised how much I could fit in. The loads did take a lot longer than my old neptune which took longer than a top loader. The "normal" was was close to an hour. The "sanatize" load said it would take 1 hour 55 min.
, the "whiteset whites" said 1 hour 15 min. I didn't really pay attention so I can't say how long it really took. The laundry seemed much dryer than even my old neptune and it was far less tangled than my old machine.
My old machine had some design flaws-the seal at the door would allow water to collect and there was a mold problem with the machine. There was a class action lawsuit against Maytag due to that and problems with the control panel and other issues. We only had the mold problem and the fact that the bearings went after just 8 years. I had recently notice that our colored hand towels were smelling musty as soon as they got wet. I was about to get all white towels so I could bleach them. That is why I did that sanatize load. I was reading the book on the new machine and it said the use of non-HE detergent (High Efficiency) could lead to a mold problem. I used to use a non HE powder in my old machine so maybe I was part of the problem. We also didn't clean the door gasket with bleach and run an empty load as after as we were told to after Maytag realized the mold was a problem. The design of the door and door seal of this new machine is so much better than the old one. After 1 day of use I am very happy with my new machine.
My old machine was so loud-it sounded like a jet palne. This new machine is so quiet. The sales clerk did talk me into the storage drawer under the machine. A $200 option.
The guys who delivered the machine put it on the drawer and balanced it. After just one day of doing laundry I am so glad I went with that option. It really makes it so much easier to do the laundry and I'll be doing a lot of laundry on this machine!
UGH! I have been cleaning DS's room for the past FOUR hours!
And all I have managed to do is make a bigger mess! There is a HUGE pile of crap in the middle of the room that I pulled out from under the bed. There are pieces of all sorts of things in little piles here and there. I have almost filled the hallway with stuff to donate, sell at Half Price Books, give to Princess, or throw away. How can his room still be such a wreck when we have taken so much stuff OUT?
I need another box for train track pieces, but I have decided to take a little break.
Hope you can see the light soon. It does have to look worse before it gets better!
OMG is it time for Disney yet?????
Almost!!!!
Hi everyone--
Well its a lovely saturday and im stuck in the house...definitely feelilng worse today so took some meds, took a nap, and here i am! Guess im not going out tonight!
Hope you're feeling better soon!!!!
I sent an email to my coworkers telling them that I'm going to my Happy Place and won't be available by phone or computer! They don't think I can do it. I told them we are talking about "MY HAPPY PLACE".
Now you have to show them that you can!!!!!
I never ordered the personalized maps from disney.com and was looking to do so. For those who did order, would I be better off choosing a lot or a few (or even no) favorites? How do they show up on the map?
Thanks!
I don't know where my are either. They do put everything on the map. I wonder what it would look like if you picked everything.
And it only took about 9 hours! Insane.
Now DS will be in there all day tomorrow making a mess because he has so much room.
However, at that time we were smokers and those were the smoking rooms.
I'm partially blond! (Or "colorful" according to thisBob here!) And my brother appeared at the house today and we made storm windows for the back porch. Lots of fun! (Honestly it was! My brother NEVER spends time with me.)
). Do we get to see pictures of the new hair?
to you.
