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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Maybe it’s a site glitch ????
I remember she was going to Ireland in March for her son’s wedding but her posts all seem to have disappeared.
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! 😒
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 .
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!
A.
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)
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.
Any idea why that disappeared???
I looked in activity log and my answer doesn't show as having been given so seems it was completely removed. By time I got to it Nacy and Way, several others had already answered.
Seemed innocent enough to me? What don't I know. (I know. I know. A LOT).
I've forgotten what it's like to have a normal sleeping pattern.
So pi$$ed about copilot showing it's nose into my writing in Word. You have to do so many more clicks just to clear it off. There must be a way to turn off copilot but I haven't looked for it yet. Ah, just found I have to uninstall it. OK! Done!
Yes of course, cw. As I wrote below, I followed all the steps suggested online for troubleshooting, which were limited as all the lights lit up and I couldn't choose any one function. Nothing happened when I pressed any one of them. All we could do was a reset with the power button which turned the lights off of a while then they all came on again. We unplugged at son's suggestion and repowered after 10 mins but it made no difference. He was flummoxed and suggested getting a tech. That I will do shortly. I'm just done for a while with dealing with it. There are other things in life besides dishwashers!
Go down to get the Prius and it's computerized screen is saying everything but "do you want a date with me". Car won't start. N. takes key away after shutting down, and turns back on and it DOES start. We go to Trader Joe and get a shipload of groceries, five bags full. And in the lot it WON'T start and the screen is being even MORE insane. I tell N. to shut it off and restart like last time and he's afraid to turn it off, that it won't come on. We are close to calling triple AAA to have it hauled to dealership when finally he does shut it down, and restart and it starts. Now we make our terrified way home hoping it doesn't do something else.
When home we call a nearby repair as we are afraid to turn car off. The guy says "Can't do diagnostic until tomorrow, but bring her over and at least it's here for us; 200.00 to do diagnostic."
We are pretty certain this will cost a bundle and don't even know if reputable repair place, but at least close.
Want to know what it was? Recently --about three months ago it needed new batter and that WAS installed by Triple AAA when it wouldn't go. About time for the change so there you are.
Well, apparently they didn't sit it securely and perfectly on the stanchions there for it. So it would wobble, the whole battery, had come loose, and was therefore sending bonkers love letters to us and stalling out.
GREAT.
He charged us only 100.00 because he never even had to run diagnostics, that's how honest THIS guy was!
Rare.
But, Lordy, remember when you lifted the hood and your grandson fixed whatever was loose?
My whine today is my new Bosch dishwasher. With all it's electronics it could probably fly me to the moon, but I can't get it to start washing dishes. When it's plugged in everything lights up including a cute red warning light somewhere low down, but I can't choose any individual command. Checked with oldest son who sold appliances for years and followed his suggestion as well as all the trouble shooting ones I could find online to no effect.
R installed it with no trouble other than making endless trips to the hardware stores to find the right-fitting connector for the old copper pipe to the new flex hose. The usual ones didn't work.
Son says call a technician.
I hate these complicated appliances. Like who really needs to turn on their dishwasher remotely while watching TV. I don't have Alexa and don't plan to get her. All I want is an ON button and a few choices. That's it, but I'm not sure that is possible anymore. And I didn't see that air dry was a choice!!! I always air dry.
Unfortunately the one I had chosen was not available right way (despite what they said on the web site), so I chose this one quickly at the agent's suggestion without doing any research. I know B is a good make for dishwashers and I wanted it to last. Oh well. Time to make a call for a tech and do yet another load of dishes by hand. My fingernails are suffering.
My gripe today, if I can be so gruesome, is to say I was at the ER today with my mom who has dementia. She’s been acting quite a bit nuttier than normal following an oral surgery, so I wanted her checked for a UTI. I witnessed her poop on the floor several times and didn’t realize she decided to go commando today. Poor choice. No UTI thankfully, but I may need therapy and strong adult beverages. Thx for letting me whine.
Margaret - the heat sounds oppressive and the snakes scary. Hope it cools down soon
Nacy - sorry about your walking partner. Yeah, we get used to our own weather challenges.
It's almost funny watching the Amazon driver driving around in circles. He is obviously lost which is strange in this day of satnav. He's been north of us, east of us and is now south of us in a dead end street. This has been going on for at least an hour and he has actually never been more than 10 minutes drive away since the tracking map came up. I wonder if he will get here today.
I got apologies from my cell phone carrier over the bad customer service and assurances that the agents would be dealt with and that I didn't owe them anything. I let buddy know I was extremely unimpressed by the "service". I had asked for a corrected copy of my bill and was told what was sent was a copy of what I already have and they charged me for it. He reversed that and explained that the lag in the system caused the original problem and if I had waited it would have worked out. I told him if the first guy I had talked to had explained rather than pushing me to make a cc payment we wouldn't be in this mess. Obviously the first agent doesn't know his job. I also got a $15 off my next bill. Not much, but something.
19 minutes after my "allotted" time, and turning my phone back on there's the text . Nothing horrible. Just making sure he had the new stove on right, which I'm glad he's checking, and oh we need an extension cord. And "your brother stopped by but he only stayed 10 minutes" . Yah if I had the choice that's how long I'd stay too.
It just sucks not being able to be anything other than a caretaker. Just really hit me the wrong way tonight. It's depressing as hell..
Ok pity party over. Time for White Lotus. Maybe I'll get through the whole episode without a call or text.
Psue - I think of you often too and hope you and hub are doing OK all things considered. Check in and update us when you can.
You too, Eva!!!
"I can assure you that this won't happen again".
Yeah, right. That's what I was told last time.
I said I wanted a correct copy of my last months bill showing the amount I actually owe - not back charges which have been paid. He said he will send a paper copy. I asked if he could email it and he said no. That's a laugh. I will get it in 12 business days. We'll see.
Then I said I am not impressed that such a large company cannot keep their billing straight and asked to speak to someone above him. He hung up.
I think I will cancel my preauthorized payment method until I see that the bills are correct.
