me vs the washing machine
SO WHEN WAS PLAYING ON THE STUPIDITY OF OTHERS A LEGITIMATE WAY TO RUN A BUSINESS????--
I CALLED THE SAME DAY FIXER COMPANY FOR MY WASHER--
NOT REALIZING OF TEH 14 "SAME DAYERS" LISTED ONLINE, I PICKED TEH SAME ONE WHO TOLD ME LAST YEAR THAT MY WASHER WAS TOTALLED- GO BUY ANOTHER-- WHICH BUD FIXED FOR $13.
this time...GUY COMES IN-- BLOWS A FUSE-- I SENT HIM DOWN TO THE PANEL- AND HE CAME BACK... HE COULDN'T OPEN THE PANEL DOOR . AND IT WAS NOT locked ...
I WENT DOWN AND OPENED THE DOOR FOR HIM TO FLIP THE SWITCH. THAT WAS A CLUE..... I OPTED TO WATCH HIM FIX THE WASHER AND GOT A CHAIR . HE PULLED IT AWAY FROM THE WALL AND LOOKED- THEN SAID " THE BOARD IS FRIED- TEH NEW BOARDS ARE3 $400 SO YOU MAY AS WELL BUY ANOTHER-- " ON HE RAMBLED ABOUT YOU CAN NOT FIX THESE NEW MODERN MACHINES BLAH BLAH BLAH.. HERE IS OUR BILL FOR THE VISIT $130.00" -
WAIT ONE MINUTE... IF YOU CAN NOT FIX THESE WHY DO YOU COME HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE... HE EVENTUALLY OPTED NOT TO CHARGE- IT WAS NOT HIS Fault-- he had zero skills at trying to logically see what was wrong.... -- and... another clue... his tool bag was not battered and worn...
please.....mike rowe--- speak louder..... something is very wrong wiht "formal education"
i was lazy you are right-- or busy trying to deal with sending a grant paper on a computer prone to faults and no linda here....
so i stopped everything... and looked online ge parts-- that computer board he is talking about is $37 not $400--- but as i wandered around the ge parts-- i think the provblen is with the lid locking-- so for $22 i am going to take it apart and maybe wreck it completely- but at least i will have an education..\ judy and i will... she got into the washer problem too.
i already have the education part about do not believe anyone who is on the other end of your checkbook.
that includes blue apron-- nearly impossible to cancel them-
how impossible you ask?? .... when you try, you get 6 companies boasting about "let us cancel your automatic deliveries for you... and for a fee" to have those 6 companies even exist smacks of serious "advantage taking" --- we have enjoyed blue apron --- but have a new idea on meal deliveries

had a great visit with elvis ( and owner fiona) -- she had something done to her ankle which caused them to wrap it up in a baby blue stovepipe thing... she said the doctorrs at chldren's hospital were thrilled with elvis-- and for a while george was in the same hospital wih bella..
the 2 dogs look very alike-- except elvis is only 15 months old -- george is more like 3 years...
the interesting part is that fiona said he behaved and functioned perfectly -- totally focused on her-- to the point of "running away" to the door of the OR when fionas sister tried to walk him when fiona was in surgery...
ADI's ( assistance dogs international) usual is to give a pup to a family for 18 months then bring it back to the training facility probably to a crate-- for training-- then to a person to work... my contention is that the dog is bonded to the family that raised it and not totally focused on working for the final person.. ours are rasied here... with minimal overnights in a home-- so when the get their person... they are thrilled to focus on just that one person,.
maybe it was/is dumb luck... but whatever... we'll take it.
