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!

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.

I can still see his quirky, flat footed (character choice?) walk in my minds eye.

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.

That song is sexy...

I wonder if we can get him to F2F?

He lives within 10 miles of where the F2F will take place...

I mean, seriously. Look at the man. Rowr.
