I have two pressing questions today. The first most of you will relate to; the second, maybe not everyone.
Question One: I’d rather take a bloody beating, but I have to buy a new washer. I wash a lot of human and animal bedding, so large capacity, at least 4.7 cu.ft. Got that part.
Why do I wash a lot of bedding? Because I made the huge mistake earlier in my life of accumulating a working zoo of animals in my house, all of whom appear to be immortal and all with varied hair lengths. While I’m happy to have them sleep on the bed, I don’t want to share their hair and the unidentified schmutz they pick up when they go outside 50 times a day to see what that noise was, and then deposit on the day quilt and comforter. Also cat butts.
So I need your help. Maytag? Whirlpool? Another brand? Not too high end. (Remember, the chances of me being around another 3 to 5 are slim to none.)
Agitator? Impeller (aka HE)?
I need an answer from some smart people because there are apparently none who work at the one local, independent appliance store in my town. We have a Lowe’s and a Home Depot, but I prefer to support local businesses when I can. I may have to rethink that commitment.
Unfortunately, this store’s primary sales strategy for selling washing machines seems to be blaming (alternately) the Democrats/Obama and the government for tromping on our god-given rights by regulating how much water we can use. Oh, absolutely. Because we all know we can trust millions of other people to be as responsible as we are – if the government would just leave us all alone.
Question Two: Probably not kosher blog etiquette to ask this, but having cancer makes you not care what you say anymore, so here goes: Anybody know what happened to Victo Dolore of Behind the White Coat? She just stopped blogging and her WordPress account is now private. Also, Grandma Lin at Breathing Space? No posts since December. I know she follows this blog, so just wondering if everything’s okay.
Pressing. Questions. Get back to me ASAP.
