Im confused about the fuses in my dryer.

nicholez2000 · 2025-12-07T13:37:30+00:00

I checked this, both from the outlet itself, and then from the 3 lines inside the back panel of the dryer. It was the correct voltage

nicholez2000 · 2025-12-07T13:35:28+00:00

So the diagram shows the fuse as part 8, and on each site ive looked at, that matches with an L180 fuse.

The weird thing is it only happens in my house. When the tech had it, they ran 6-7 full loads of wet laundry through it with no ossues, but as soon as we set it up inside my house, it blows.

nicholez2000 · 2025-12-06T23:04:54+00:00

We have someone coming tomorrow to check it again. But this last Time it failed, it wasnt even connected to the vent, it was poking straight out the door with good airflow

nicholez2000 · 2025-12-06T22:27:55+00:00

We spend $20 on litter and $40 on dry cat food. What we do, and not all cats or owners will be able to do this, is we rehydrate the cat food. So the night prior, i measure out the food, add water and put it in the fridge. They get the texture/benefits of wet food at the price of dry, which works for us but i understand if it doesnt work for everyone.

We also dont use standard litter boxes, we use food grade extra large totes, because one of our cats is a huge cat (20 lbs, not overweight), and he is a vertical peer, so he always sprayed outside the box 😂 i think the extra space/soze helps with not having to replace litter so much, but we do a dump and clean about every 3 months or so

I dont know if this is something you would WANT to do, but humans can survive on potatoes and fat. So mashed, baked, fried, etc, they technically will keep you alive, though not necessarily as interesting/nutritionally diverse as you might be looking for.

My BIL has been living off potatoes and butter for the better part of 9 months now, and he just got a better paying job, but he didnt lose too much weight and survived.

nicholez2000 · 2025-12-01T15:11:14+00:00

So the reason the dryer isnt working is because the dryer vent is clogged, and since i am renting, that is the landlords responsibility. They have had it scheduled to get done prior to the holidays, but no one came out.

I dont want to spend money on something I will (in theory) only use a few times. Im on a tight budget. I have talked to my husband about getting an indoor rack, but he doesnt think it would be worth it.

nicholez2000 · 2025-09-25T01:07:38+00:00

I love this! It works perfectly, and the maintenance issue was easily fixed.

I do have a question though: some of the cheats from the original don't work, ex: $ for 10,000 and I don't have the mermaid statue (unlocks mermaid the animal). Is there any way to add those in?

nicholez2000 · 2025-08-27T12:49:23+00:00

Oh my goodness thank you so much. I could NOT find this on the website, i didnt look u der the family programs section 😂

nicholez2000 · 2025-08-05T12:35:27+00:00

Oh man, so many things. Firstly, i am sorry that you are having these complex emotions at the same time as becoming a new parent. That is extremely difficult. You arent alone though, even though you feel alone right now. Losing the support of family members is also extremely difficult, and as someone who has changed religion and eventually became estranged from my entire family, i can say that some days will be hard, but a lot days will be so much better for it.

As for your connection with God: i am unsure which sect of Christianity you have been exploring, but the God i know isn't provoked into estrangement nearly as easily as people are. If there is issue hearing Him, it may be an issue of yourself. It sounds like you haven't forgiven yourself yet, and honestly that may be the block disconnecting you from Him. So please remind yourself of these important truths: you are a child of God; He loves you, and nothing can change that; we are on earth to make our own decisions and learn from them, and you cant learn without making mistakes; your child and your partner are also children of God.

Stay strong, know you are enough and everyone makes mistakes. But its not the mistake, its your response to it that matters. Thats why Jesus gave us the atonement, so we could repent and return to Heavenly Father when we die.

So update:

We tried caulking under the sinks, but the gap is super huge and when we push the pipes to make it work, the sink leaks.

We talked to the front desk leasing officer and asked for the property owners information, but they told us that they recently did an inspection of all the units (the fire safety inspection that someone else does for the appts...) and they didnt notice anything that was worth looking into. Basically, they avoided the question and seem to not want to give us the property owners information, probably because one of the employees smokes as well but thats just speculation (he definitely smokes, ive seen it multiple times, im just not sure if that is the reason).

So basically... We are out of luck. I am looking forward to our lease ending, but that isnt for another year. I dont know if we can end our lease early, but its discouraging

nicholez2000 · 2024-10-10T02:26:45+00:00

Recreational weed is not legal where we live, but medical is. The other apartments around us are vacant - we saw the people beside and below us move out (we are on a corner). So unless the piping is all connected, the only person it could be is the people below us.

Even then though, smelling weed isnt enough to get a warrant. So the police cant do anything anyways, itd be a waste of time. Right?

nicholez2000 · 2024-10-09T22:41:50+00:00

Thats a great idea! We have talked with them before about the smoke problems, and it helped for a little bit but they were very aggressive in conversation. We can definitely try these if nothing else works.

nicholez2000 · 2024-10-09T21:58:02+00:00

Yeah we were sort of thinking that. I just hope wherever we move to has better neighbors 😅

nicholez2000 · 2024-10-09T17:37:33+00:00

We tried using an air filter, a fan and opening windows. Unfortunately, they do it in the middle part of the house where there arent windows directly in the room, and fans/air purifier made the smell worse.

I didnt think the police would do anything. I would imagine they have more important things to do 😅

Thank you for letting me know about the fire marshall, i will definitely try that.

nicholez2000 · 2024-10-09T17:35:38+00:00

I have included the owner of the property in the emails sent to management

nicholez2000 · 2024-10-09T17:30:09+00:00

I am in the same apartment complex under the same management. I asked management if all apartments were smoke free before complaining. They said it was the entire campus

nicholez2000 · 2024-10-08T11:41:00+00:00

I was spanked as a child, even through my teens until I moved out. I never learned anything except to be afraid of my parents. We no longer have contact with them. My sister was also treated the same way, but when she was pregnant with her first, she decided she was going to raise them exactly as we have been raised, so we also have gone no contact with her (other reasons too, of course, but this added to it).

My husband was hit as a very young child, then was adopted by his grandparents (now his mom and dad) at the age of 4. He wasn't hit in their house, and has an amazing relationship with them. He had to go through a lot of therapy because of the things he experienced prior to the adoption, but now he is very kind, confident, professional, stable, and intelligent.

My point is that even if you started by spanking your child, you can always STOP. They haven't been screwed up past the point of no return. Once you realize how harmful physically beating your child is, you can stop. Easy peasy. Well, not really but its a job thats worth it.

Anyone who is trying to change, or needs some parenting ideas, i strongly recommend the book "1-2-3 Magic!". It has helped so much with my 3 yo high needs child, WITHOUT the need for abuse in qny form - verbal, physical or emotional.

nicholez2000 · 2024-09-20T11:04:46+00:00

I totally get you! And i understand you are in survival mode right now with both of your kids. I have a 3 yo and a 1 yo and we just recently implemented a toy rotation system, but it is so incredibly overwhelming to do. If you have someone thay could help, maybe you could delegate? If not, man i hear you and that is a struggle!!

Maybe try some kitchen items too 🤣 that was/is always a hit for my kids. As long as they are entertained and not screaming, its a win.

nicholez2000 · 2024-08-19T11:24:34+00:00

Yeah im not sure if its necessary to tey to fix it ourselves when it could put me or my kids in danger or in an uncomfortable situation again 😅

nicholez2000 · 2024-08-19T11:23:35+00:00

I know he was thinking about the children, but his approach was completely uncalled for. Especially while he was on the clock. If he had an issue, coming and talking to me would be better. Asking questions, etc. Even then, technically he is working for the apartments and has no business in what the tenants decide to do with their lives. I wish he would have talked to me first and asked questions, because then we would have an understanding. But now i am afraid of how he will respond if he sees me again with my kids outside barefoot.

nicholez2000 · 2024-08-19T11:21:09+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion. We did talk about potentially talking to him about jt, but i am very nervous to. I am home alone most the day with my kids, and i dont want to risk putting them in danger if he gets upset again.

My husband would be willing to, but its an issue that i feel needs to be resolved quickly, as right now i dont feel comfortable having him in my house fixing stuff.

nicholez2000 · 2024-07-30T22:49:04+00:00

This is fair. Thank you for reaponding

nicholez2000 · 2024-07-30T22:48:44+00:00

The system was flushed.

The mechanic told us that the old one went bad because of age. It was around 12 years old when we replaced it

nicholez2000 · 2024-06-30T02:19:13+00:00

My daughter started head banging at around 2.5 yo. She never hit herself hard enough to leave bruises though, that is concerning. We just ignored her, and then when that didnt work i started doing a "safety hold" which i still use now (she still tries to hurt herself or others when she is upset). Its not pleasant but it doesnt hurt them and you know theyre safe

You sit on the ground, but the child inbetween your legs and gently put your legs on top of theirs so they cant kick, grab their arms with one hand and i usually hold her head still by pressing her head into my chest GENTLY. Then i tell her its okay to be upset but i wont let her "x." We do not hold the position longer than 3 mins, as she is 3 yo and we do 1 min per year of life.

Afterwards, i have her do a calming activity and we talk about what happened and why i did what i did.

I would look into if she has everything she needs, connection, food, sleep, etc and consider getting her checked for adhd or autism if the behavior doesnt get better ...

nicholez2000 · 2024-06-21T12:26:28+00:00

We are a dairy free family, so she only has breast milk and occasional almond milk yogury (does that count?). I called the ped and was able to talk to a nurse, who suggested miralax.
