Front Porch Chit Chat

[Dani]

I do not know which thread you are referring to. If it is political, that would be why, because it is rare for me to even view political discussions, let alone post on them.

It is helpful to quote or reply because it keeps everyone in the loop about what is being discussed.

I think it is rare for discussions to be closed here.

It shouldn't have been political, but now days it seems like EVERYTHING gets politiziced, unfortunately.

Speaking only for myself...

I don't enjoy seeing friends arguing. Say what needs to be said... and be done with it.

That is ok for you to say. But just because I belong to a forum, I do not consider "everyone" on that forum to be a "friend". It just doesn't work that way with me. Kinda like I "like" some co-workers and others "not so much". That's just how life goes. Each to their own, right?

Had another male look at my washer. He said it was what I said, the tension rods gave out, not what the other guy said. Parts next week, he said he'll fix it in less than 30 minutes. First guy said $700 to replace the warped drum. This guy thought it was funny..."warped drum..." shook his head and snickered. Second guy says he fixes this brand for this issue frequently. Next time I'll get a Speed Queen.
Go with yer gut, Patch!

I have had a Speed Queen for around 15 years now without any problems. Best is that it is American made and if you do have an issue, you should be able to find parts easily. This brand is one that many laundromats use.

 

[Patchouli]

You are the third person who has said yes on speed queen, @Dani
There is a place in the city that sells used/refurbished models and models from laundromats. One of the three said that's where they got theirs after being disappointed in a new one.

You gotta tell us what brand the one was that had the tension rods fail.
Inquiring minds want to know.

Reading about washing machines reminded me of this ad that used be on here. I'm not sure if the humour will be lost in translation, or the accent needs subtitles; but sure we'll give it a go!

I had the vaccine and it left me permanent side effects. Wednesday I start my 5th round of IVs. I will need them about every 6 months for the rest of my life. Those of you who did not get it are smarter than I am.

Ivermectin is supposed to reverse covid vaccine side effects.

Samsung may be good for electronics, BUT they suck on appliances. I have had both an oven and a dishwasher. .They need to do way more research on their expansions.

I agree.
Nothing but 4 Samsung TV's in our house today.
I battle-tested them for years and they have been flawless.
All of the in-laws LG's eventually developed problems.

I still have an Insignia old picture tube from years gone by. Bought maybe 15-20 years ago? Not sure on that timeline. It's been many years ago.

 

[dademoss]

Sample size of one, but our Samsung died way too soon . Now 3 LG tvs and an ancient visio, and a more ancient emerson 7 inch screen in the kitchen.

 

[joel]

I have a flat screen LG TV.

 

[Pearl]

[Pearl]

[joel]

Good night!

[LadyLocust]

I did not know about this~ watch her arms dangle

 

[Pearl]

I did not know about this~ watch her arms dangle

I heard a while back she has some rare neurological disorder!!

 

[backlash]

That is sad.

 

[Amish Heart]

Wow that's sad. I thought she was just anorexic

 

[Dani]

I thought she got the vaxx. Am I wrong? Yeah I got teared up. Beautiful singer.

It begs the question, but I don't know the answer. Sad either way.

“Stiff-Person Syndrome,” I’m not kidding.
“Though the cause of Stiff Person Syndrome remains unknown, researchers suspect it may be caused by an autoimmune reaction. Specifically, the immune system seems to attack a protein called glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), which helps make a substance called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).”
Pain, muscle spasms, rigidity of limbs.

But her arms looked so loose. No rigidity. I don’t understand.
