Grumbles and Gratitudes

Grumble: The dishwasher is having an identity crisis and can no longer figure out which cycle its on. 15 years old, cost of replacing control panel is more than half the cost of a whole new machine. :rolleyes:We are doing our best to social distance and would really prefer not to have an appliance installer in our house right now, but we'd prefer not to wash everything by hand either. Life really is all about choices! :ROFLMAO:

Gratitude: Car needed a warranty service and the dealership gave us a sanitized loaner car so my husband wouldn't have to sit in the waiting area for a few hours. So he's home now and being his handsome self. That's what I'm grateful for - my handsome husband sitting here with me.

Have a wonderful day, folks!
 
love a good grumble --my washing machine has a mind of its own now ' it does its own thing '
i can only use one cycle that seems to go ok 'machine isnt that old '
it refuses to take the softner grrrrrrrrrrrrrr' so all very hit and miss ' had a a few words with it last night-
but cant repeat them here lol-----
 
Grumble: must do a major tidy-up of the house today... the worst part of being a grownup is having to do grownup things!
:whistle:

Gratitude: I'm grateful for every day that we have with our dog. He's elderly and has a plethora of health concerns stacked against him, all of which are the result of severe neglect and abuse in his previous situation. :mad: We know each day is getting a bit harder for him and so his time with us is getting shorter, so we give thanks for every moment we're blessed with his sweet, adorable, gentle soul. Right now he's dozing comfortably in one of his favorite spots with a relaxed smile on his face. The very best little boy we ever could have hoped for; how lucky we are to be his humans. ♥

Happy Wednesday, everyone! Hope your week is going well!

I would definitely hand wash the dishes before I'd invite a cootie infested human being into the house.
 
I don't really have a grumble today. We are prepping for a hurricane with an uncertain path and we are blessed to have the supplies we need, and to live in an area with good infrastructure and responsive local officials. So many others are not that fortunate. If Isiais takes a weird jog and tears the roof off the suckah, as Parliament sang, we will still abide.

Our beloved old dog passed away last week. Life had become a struggle for him, and it was time. Our hearts are heavy with loss, but we are grateful to the wonderful vets who helped him to heal after we rescued him and who helped him to transition off this earth when that became the kindest option. And we're grateful most of all for the time we shared with him. He was a very special dog with a very big heart.

I hope everyone else is doing well this week, and that you also have some things to feel grateful for right now. Stay safe and healthy, my friends.
 
Grumble and gratitude on same item: got an washer edging up to being 25 years old,
first washer I purchased without a female present-it has no lint filter-bad.

I listen to it wheez, sigh, and thumb, waiting for it to die, but it just goes on and on.
I guess I need to have a few words with it like toffee: 'Good washer, keep chugging...'

Wonder if it's havin an identity crisis like Barbiegirl's dish washer

A lizard brawl and one fell in your pool?
He died? Don’t they know how to swim?

Apparently they don't swim! But they do the dead man's float and they last quite a while that way, so if we fish them out in time they seem to recover. We have a salt pool instead of straight chlorine so that probably helps.

Jerry, that's too bad about your washer. Our dishwasher suddenly started to work properly again. Maybe it just wanted a vacation. :giggle:
