I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Is anybody knowledgeable about washing machines? Mine's not working. I think I broke it when I washed my comforter. It filled with water and won't drain or spin. When I turne the handle to re set it the machine will agitate and then stop.

All the clothes are out of the washing machine, but the water is still in there.

I called my land lady about this and even though my grandmother paid for the fridge and the oven and the washer and the dryer she says I'm responnsible for the washer and dryer. (I'm not going to fight her on this or insist because she kept the rent really low when I moved in. She could probably get double what she's charging me).

Mom's looked at it but she couldn't figure out what was wrong with it and she can't find anything in her DYI books for this.

I'm so fucked up. I read about Shirley Temple in Baltimore and think what a redball that would be.

You know what's craxy? I don't watch it. I haven't watched it since Ben was little, but while my mother was living her the past six months, she watched it. I generally wasn't in the room for more than two minutes at a time, and probably sat and watched a whole episode with her only a dozen times (if) in six months, and I pretty much know everything that's going on.

I can't remember the comic who did the routine (Tom Lehrer? Tom-somebody) about soaps and how you could be away for a year and tune back into the same conversation only 30 seconds later. It's amazing how you can keep up, without watching.

I'm loving the DOOL remeniscence. I was totally hooked for a few years but have not seen an ep in maybe a decade. Wayne Northrop used to make my knees all wobbly. I can still see his quirky, flat footed (character choice?) walk in my minds eye. Man, I had a HARD crush on him.

Most washers won't spin or drain when the lid is open, askye. There's a little switch on the back of that lid that tells the machine that the lid is closed, kind of like the switch that turns your refrigerator light on. You can check that and see if it's engaging. After that, it's a belt or something, and, at least for me, in the hands of a repairperson.

I only really watched DOOL when they had the one actress playing 3 or 4 different characters. I think triplets were involved and one was a man at the very end. It was very entertaining and I always thought the actress did a good job of playing the fake pretending to be the real person. The show took it way over the top, but it was a much better, more entertaining storyline than, say, Reva on Guiding Light dying and then being cloned and aged up and then died and then -- wait! Reva 's not dead she's been living with the Amish! (After her car went off the bridge in Key West... I don't remember how she got from washing up on the shore of Florida to New England).

Thanks Ginger I'll try that. If that doesn't work I need to bail out the water in the washer. And i'm not looking forward to that at all!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Ok, what is it about "Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing" that makes me want to find Chris Isaak, rip his clothes and fuck him until the sky falls?

I'm in a mood.

He may just be flat-footed. I am. I would imagine that being one and faking the other is a very hard thing to do.

Hon, I look at the man and want to rip his clothes off. It's A Thing.
