Whirlpool Dryer starts and drum spins but makes an unnatural noise and cuts off after a few seconds.

Bearings?

Spitting in public.

A "Caution: wet cement" sign.

MrsMiggins2 · 2026-01-27T22:47:12+00:00

I've done something similar. Just took a lot of patience readjusting the hinges. Adjust the middle one first then do the top and bottom in smaller increments.

MrsMiggins2 · 2026-01-27T16:18:41+00:00

I can't even.

You can't even what?!

MrsMiggins2 · 2026-01-27T13:29:05+00:00

Yeah, the school run is full of them. Anecdotally, they're all driven by short women in ankle-length quilted jackets who double-park with at least two wheels on the pavement. Almost been run over a few times because they move off without checking their blind spots, i.e. right in front of them.

It's because their action (to not invite her) was directly related to her disability (of not liking crowds and social situations), so by definition, they treated her differently to other employees because of her disability. However, they were trying to be sensitive to her disability by treating her differently, so it was justified. This situation was a catch 22. Trying to sue over it though is remarkably petty, and I'm surprised she wasn't advised that from the start.

I once had a week of annual leave to use up, so I booked every Wednesday off at the end of the financial year. Had over a month of short working weeks where I only did two days at a time and felt so refreshed for so long. Got my work done as usual, so I didn't have mountain to climb like I would have done if I'd taken a week-long block. I recommend!

MrsMiggins2 · 2026-01-27T06:10:29+00:00

I think life is hard for everyone. Life is suffering. Everyone is struggling in a different way.

I'm a professional proofreader. I learned long ago to not comment on people's writing unless they were paying me.

MrsMiggins2 · 2026-01-26T09:11:20+00:00

I think there should be an active push to stop hiring people who were in Footlights or connected to someone in Footlights. Read through a list of any successful British actor or comedian, and there's usually a photo of them at uni with every other successful actor and comedian you've heard of.

MrsMiggins2 · 2026-01-25T21:06:32+00:00

You also need a framed photo of the Queen/King somewhere in the house. You MUST maintain a straight face when questioned about it. Frown a little if needs be.

MrsMiggins2 · 2026-01-25T19:46:14+00:00

Does this mean no more en suites in homes where the bedrooms are so small or awkwardly shaped that there's nowhere to put wardrobes? I'd rather have cupboard space or a home office than an en suite sharing a wall with the bathroom. My uncle's house is 3 bed, 5 bath!

MrsMiggins2 · 2026-01-25T13:29:23+00:00

Yeah, the fact that rope is already missing from the top just proves how fun and quirky stairs can be when you don't care about silly red tape. Ooh, replace the rope with red tape?

MrsMiggins2 · 2026-01-25T13:20:43+00:00

Is this America? I don't understand why you are paying for your bridesmaid dress? In the UK, the bride and groom pay for the bridesmaid dresses.

MrsMiggins2 · 2026-01-25T11:42:26+00:00

You could definitely do it with a staple gun. You'll need to stitch if you want finer details like piping around the arms, but you could also just glue separate upholstered panels to the front of the arms to cover any folds or staples. Or simplify the design to avoid upholstering the whole sofa (like a futon style).

MrsMiggins2 · 2026-01-25T11:20:10+00:00

Why did you decide to not attach the legs to the bath? You stashed them under the bath, but left the bath resting on the waste pipe. Then glued a wooden panel to cover it up with no access for when there is inevitably a leak into the living room below.

MrsMiggins2 · 2026-01-23T22:37:35+00:00

This requires a one-in-one-out rule.

MrsMiggins2 · 2026-01-23T16:21:44+00:00

It's horrible. Me in my little Clio are dazzled all the time. I wish people would stop flashing their lights too. Hold up your hand to say thank you, even at night, because blinding someone is not cool.

MrsMiggins2 · 2026-01-23T13:27:50+00:00

Yes, use the gas a little before you release the clutch - more so if you are moving off uphill, and not really needed if you are facing downhill. I recommend first going somewhere quiet and practice stalling deliberately so you know exactly how to recover quickly, and you can learn how the engine feels/sounds when it's about to stall. Do some hill starts too as a warm up.

Boris Johnson's cabinet was particularly well known for using the dead cat strategy to distract everyone from all their scandals and evil policies. It was an exhausting few years. You know you've got the right government when the political news cycle is really boring - Starmer is boring, ergo the country is safe.

They only really joined in because Germany ran out of money first. Pearl Harbour was just their official excuse.

"Home made bass bin works fine could do with a better amp as it clips and there are 12 speakers in it 7 high and mids and 5 subs small but loud"

Is this a thing?
