not one lick of trouble (knock on wood)--got it with the house (it was 10 then). Have all Whirlpool appliances except for the stove; all are 18-y/o and working great. Very reliable.

Whirlpool top load
Bought one brand new when we bought our home 5 years ago. It did not work right from day 1. It would go to fill with water but never shut off. They repaired it for free, but then we had other problems with it. It is hanging on by a thread. Next time I am going for a Maytag. Just need to save up for it.
whirlpool
is my first choice. I've had 2 whirlpool washers in 33 years. Not bad....
Whirlpool
I should add . . . we also bought a Whirlpool dishwasher at the same time. The heat button got turned on for heated dry (I do not normally use this) well the darn thing melted. The entire front plate with the controls melted and burned out. It is just lucky the darn thing didn't start our home on fire! I will never purchase another Whirlpool. Never.
I'm now on my 4th load, and that little washer is - sm
chugging happily away. Meanwhile, I found a way to have the drain tube (empties out in the kitchen sink) do double-duty. You know how you end up with plates that need pre-soaking (or even pre-washing, BEFORE you wash them? Like forks with sticky cheese on them, knives with cat or dog food, plates with God-knows-what on them, and cereal bowls with that petrified combination of sugar and cereal that could easily be used a mortar when constructing brick walls? Well, I just put the offending dishes in the sink, and when the washer empties a tubful of hot, semi-soapy 'gray' water, I've got the drain hose aimed right at those dishes. By the time the laundry is done, and I'm ready to tackle the dishes, it'll take half the time, dish-detergent, and elbow-grease to get them clean, because the job will already be half-done!
:D
Towels and sheets are the one load
I never use softner sheets on because it seems like there is a waxy coating on them that I don't like. They don't seem as absorbent or clean-feeling. I take my own towels with me when I travel because at people's houses they feel coated with wax, and at hotels they have that fishy odor sometimes, like school gym towels - ugh. I think that smell comes from using bleach but then not drying them thoroughly before stacking. Yuck.
Me too, takes a few seconds to load...nm

Annoying, but the time to load is now
taking longer than 15-20 seconds, about 30. Hope it gets better soon.

I have one. The 3 cats go between that and the Easter/Halloween "bucket." Thanks for the idea, tho.
She's rallied, then hides. I'm watching her big-time. If necessary, I'll take her to my $$$$ vet--but he's worth EVERY penny. Of course, she has a fit when I try to give her the Clavamox/Amoxicillin pills. Although they're out-dated, they're in the sealed, air-tight thingies. Of course, that's making her nauseated as well.
I really appreciate all these kind suggestions!
Incidentally, is anyone getting any (more) work? I'm in tne South Region, and things look pitiful!

Did anyone load the new Int. Explorer 7 in your windows update yet.

that's the viral load - takes 2 weeks I think....sm
That's the one i was talking about - the hep C HCV-RNA....that's the viral load and as I recall, I think that's a 2-week test, but I could be wrong...(I am the one from the prior threat who has it and was posting with you last week and have this test yearly) - anyway - try to relax and perhaps the nurses/assistants don't even know this test takes 2 weeks IF THEY SENT IT FROZEN...I remember they couldn't do the test because it was not frozen.....at one point. Now, when I go, I make sure to ask *does that go frozen or not?*
Our GE top load purchased thru Sears has been nothing but trouble. Could be because of hard

I guess he is smart, he is making a load of money I am sure!

Well, I can make a load of money too if I wanted to get into porn. and
having relations with other people, including women. It's a multi-billion dollar a year industry. It doesn't make it right. I can go and rob a bank tomorrow and make a ton of money, but it doesn't make it right.
I like what the Bible says about it - a decent man will make his money with an honest living.
For those of you that are large like me....
Where do you buy your large size bras?
I need a 40C and am having a hard time finding anything.
Aside from losing weight, which I am working on, do you have any recommendations?
Well, I have a large shopping bag (sm)
hanging in the spare room closet and have about 4-5 little stocking stuffers already purchased and in there. Does that count?
A large cucumber and a jar of Vaseline. -nm

As a member of a large church I am always around others. We have different sm
groups and we do dinner once a month, shopping once a week (if you can make if of course), movies once a month, etc. Then I attend a Bible study on Wednesdays with another large group of women and we will get together a lot and talk on the phone during the week, etc. This, along with my family, sister, in laws, etc., and I am far from being an introvert working at home doing MT. Been at it for 8 years.
To be honest, and don't take this the wrong way, but as an MT or anyone who works from home, you decide if you want friends, a social life, etc. We work 8 hour days or some of us work 4 hours. That leaves you lunch hour to get together with a friend or 2, after work for dinner, shopping, and a movie, and then weekends for a couple of hours. We all need balance. It is not healthy to be at home all day with no interaction whatsoever. You will begin to suffer if you continue living that way. Trust me, as a former depressed person who suffered from post-partum depression for 4 years (yes, you read that right!), I had to make a decision that I would not exclude myself from my friends and family, would make NEW friends while I was at it, and it has turned me into a very positive and fun person to be with.
I can't tell you how many parties I've hosted since coming out of my depression. My friends call me Rachel Ray with a mix of Paula Deen (I'm leaning more towards Paula), since I LOVE to decorate and entertain and be a blessing to others, ministering to them if I can, lend an ear or a hand if I can and have an "open" home where people can drop by if they need to talk about something. My life has been fantastic since overcoming depression.
I'm not saying all extroverts are depressed, but that was the reason for me.
Good luck.
what about one of those very large storage tubs--sm
you can buy from walmart for about 7 or 8 dollars. They are pretty large and you can cut a "door" in the side of it so they can get in and out. just a thought.
...myself. Actually a size 12 but still too large around the middle. nm

My, you let her down on a large part of parenting.

I'm in a large city and what you said is not true here.

Function of society at large (sm)
I think you are right to some extent. I personally try hard to keep my word and when I can't, I feel bad about it! I call as soon as I know it's not going to work and I apologize. I try hard not to say I can do something if I am not sure I can. I don't make other plans for that timeframe that I have already committed to see someone during. How is that so hard? If someone is "iffy" about something, they need to say "I don't know, can I get back with you?" Not just say yes and then forget about it. I know a lot of people these days who seem to plan several things for the same time period and then whichever one they feel like doing at the moment gets priority - regardless of who else is inconvenienced or whose time is wasted by it. (I know I'm ranting here...making me feel better...haha.) Then they don't even understand why you are angry or why it is offensive...as though you are being unreasonably demanding to think that someone is going to try to do what they said they would do. Whew.....ok, I'm done. Think I will look at my navel now...lol
What does a small child look like to a large dog, if NOT prey???

Exactly, a very large *gated* community in my state
was pretty much taken over by mostly gang/drug dealer types! I guess they want to keep the cops out ; ) lol
I use middle rack unless large cut that needs more room.

In a city with a large gay/lesbian population, gay -sm
marriage is an everyday issue. The kids hear both sides of it. They're not isolated in coccoons, and they watch TV and see the negative ads running right now. If they go to Sunday school, then they probably get fed a large dose of fear and intolerance there, as well.
I think it IS educational for a bunch of SF kids to go see a wedding, especially if it's their own teacher. They already know she's gay. And they already know she's are real human being that they probably all love.
What they get out of the experience is a very strong reason to question the hatred & bigotry surrounding the issue of who should be allowed to marry, and who should not.
I'm large-chested, but I only wear push-ups
I wear a 42DD and I wear push-ups because even though I'm large breasted, I droop. Push-ups provide more contour and shaping than regular underwires.
If you are having problem with muffintop, though, you're not trying the right size. Go to JCP or Victoria Secret and have them measure you. Oprah says 40% of women wear the wrong bra size.
As far as push-ups go, I really like the ones by Ambrielle, which are sold by JCP.
Maybe she's thinking of large apartment complexes??
I would think it would be a lot harder to stop people from smoking in those types of apartments when there are maybe hundreds of apartments in a lot of different buildings like they have in big cities. I can understand not smoking in a one or two family home type apartment.
Think you had a large garden or orb-weaving spider there! Scary
