I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
I love my country. I love my country. I love my country.
I am an atheist. I am an atheist. I am an atheist.
You guys have accepted me and my bad old atheism here for a good many years.
And I think most of us love our country whether we agree or disagree politically.
We are well to stay in the shallows with those subjects, I think, lest we hurt one another thereby hurting ourselves, and our Forum. I believe there isn't a one of us here wouldn't help the others in an emergency.
The only reason I asked is that this person said they were new, and curious and it seemed SUCH a benign and decent question.
Can't imagine it got the slightest chaff in answering.
Was just curious. I was actually returning to discussions, which I do seldom, just to see what we all said about how we landed here.
Could have been an oldy but a goodie coming back in under a newbie name?
But something sure went awry.
And I am nosier than a bloodhound, so was just curious.
And I have seen have been many examples of faith based whitewashing here through my time on the forum where those of other faiths have been muzzled
(I did have second thoughts about posting that and came back to remove that comment but I didn't get here soon enough)
A.
ETA - the technician just left. He said the control panel isn't working and it's usually out of stock so ask for a new dishwasher. He didn't sound hopeful. Yuck!
Something similar happened to me a few years ago with my stove . They changed the computer control panel in the newer model and stopped making the old one so I was forced to get a new appliance .
And my old one wasn’t ancient yet .
The technician just called back and said to try closing the door for 10 minutes and see if the thing resets. O-kay!
ETA - didn't work! 😒
I remember she was going to Ireland in March for her son’s wedding but her posts all seem to have disappeared.
Maybe it’s a site glitch ????
When I search for her, I can find no answers from her and trying to go to discussion or questions she started just takes me to the forum.
Glitch or fully canceled account, seen that before with a few posters, like they were never here and it was administration abolishing them.
I can't imagine she did anything for that.
To tell the truth, I am finding more than a few curious things of late that I can't make head or tails of. But why go there. As with Need just being "gone", we will likely never have an answer.
Anxiety, could you PM me and let me know what you mean by shut out.
I am experiencing so disturbing gossip moments.
Isn't it ALWAYS disturbing.
I honestly think that you should contact the admins about all of this.
I once left the site myself, and had to get admins permission to come back to the page. But my messages were never removed when I left. Generally when messages are removed it means an admin removal for cause, and you don't want that; if that were to be the case they would remove this account as well, of course.
Something quite odd is up. Follow it up with the admins would be my advice.
Anxietynacy may have had her account suspended. If the admin of this site suspended it there's no way of anyone knowing until the suspension is over.
I got suspended once and that was it until I my account was re-instated. Anxietynacy was around yesterday commenting on a few threads.
I miss NeedHelpWithMom. Who knows where she went? I got some very good recipes from her.
Nacy is back as DrivingDaisy. See below. I think she is having account problems as well. She is back under another name and had to create another email. I think she should contact the admins. When I left AC at one point I came back after a month, had to contact admins; they were very accommodating in restoring my account as it always had been.
My whine today - they will sell you anything any day of the week and take your money but when it comes to service - our office is closed...please call back...
When I called the Bosch service number earlier in the week it referred me to their US people, who finally realized I was in Canada. They said my area code must be a new one so the system didn't recognize it as Canadian.This area code was started in 2016. I had to use R's phone to get past the technology.
So much of this stuff is outsourced now. I agree with you. We may get an item or a service, but if we need help, that part is not so easy for certain. This is a company with a good rep for high end efficient products. Sorry to hear it has sunk into the general morass.
So don't know, DrivingDaisy's comment is still down there.
I got a private message from AnxietyNacy-now DrivingDaisy that she is in communication with the admins, about her site problems. Just in case,
She usually is quite communicative on the Forum, so if DrivingD is working, she should be able to write. She was saying that she could only post on Discussions and not on
Questions or something odd like that. Time will tell?
Strange about nacy but I expect they will figure it out eventually. She was an active poster.
Big flakes of snow came down this morning and the field is white again. ❄🌨❄ To be expected, I guess.
That was a test seems to be working. 🙂
Good to be back! I got some catching up to do
I once left Forum, and had to contact them to return. It was easily done by them to reset everything to my old account and my old email.
You have a long long history here of advice; I hate to have it simply disappear into the ether. You won't have to do the settings thing yourself. The admins can do it.
I think that AnxietyNacy was wanting to change her name some time ago, ANYway, so this is, I guess, the good time for it? Anyway, I hope the admins can reset your old account, or restore it some way for you.
Bosch has written me to say my "servicer" (I don't like the connotation) is ordering a new control unit and will contact me when he has it and can do the repair. I'm not holding my breath - just buying more dishwashing liquid!
Not sure this is a whine - the sky was white with snow today ❄❄🌨❄❄ and the ground is covered again. Pretty normal for March and still much better than it was up north which was minus 25C (minus 13F) a few days ago.
Anti-whine - my cell phone bill was correct this month and included the customer care they awarded me. I've set up to pay it a day late! So there!!! 🤣
We have had no rain to speak of all winter and we are praying that we get some. Spring is our dry season, so hopefully!
Golden, sorry and your insurance stuff, going up, are homeowners went way up too. We recently changed companies.
My whine is, back was really bothering me, went to Chiro did all my stretches, it got much better, then it came back with a vengeance, I was so mad. Then I figured it out, I wear orthopedic bras, well I stupidly saved my old bras just in case. So anyways I've been wearing the old bras in the other drawer for 2 weeks.
Switched back to the new ones and it's already getting better. Threw away the old ones and order another new one. I'm sure because my back was in a delicate state that it hurt it so quickly.
