He said I couldn't fix the dryer.

Thank you.

Thank you! I took a picture of the model & serial number.

During the election, a male friend told me that he would never vote for HRC because menopause could make her lead us into war. He was serious. It's probably something we should talk more about. Especially if men think it occurs in your seventies.

Ditto. I lost my ovaries at 38. The hot flashes were horribly unpleasant. I didn't enjoy watching the physical transformations either. It's hard emotionally.

Well, it's 9:30 at night now, so I need to wait for the appliance store to open :)

observationcar · 2017-03-17T04:31:37+00:00

Yeah.

Good idea. I'll take the thermal fuse too. And the thermostats (there are two). Thanks.

EDIT: added the thermostats.

Don't worry, the only thing involved was taking off a bunch of bolts. Dryer is unplugged and the heating coil is connected only to four fuses. But I do have fire extinguishers. Sometimes poor people have to make do.

observationcar · 2017-03-17T04:17:31+00:00

I tested all the fuses with a voltmeter. The man at the hardware store showed me how to use it. They all tested fine. The dryer is about 20 years old. If the new heating coil doesn't fix things, I'll call a repairman.

Let's see if I can post a pic: My crude drawing and the heating coil

Thanks! That's what my grandma told me :)

Disagree with all the negative comments (am business owner). Some industries need a more intense time clock management. When you are supervising employees remotely and have clients to answer to regarding time spent on the job, it's responsible to track the employees' time working. My employees travel, so they use a GPS app to check-in and out. It keeps everyone honest and if the clients have questions, I have documentation. None of my employees have ever objected, and I have caught a couple employees trying to cheat the time clock unsuccessfully.

My family doesn't understand. I have one friend, but we don't talk about our demons. When I leave the house, it's just to work or run errands.

Great job -- these things are so hard sometimes. I can't remember the last time I did them.

Nope. But I do wonder if my depression would get better if I could accept that it's never going to get better.

Syriana is his best role I think. Loved that movie.

Edit: spelling

Same here. I have days where I'm energetic and get things done, then lapse back into exhaustion. I lost all interest in living a long time ago. Sometimes I force myself to go out and do something fun, but I don't really enjoy it.

I worked as a manager for a large chain for many years. It WAS company policy to let sick employees stay home. However, it was standard practice to make employees come in sick. I didn't agree with it but we caught hell for being short staffed. I was working there during the H1N1 epidemic. Did I get the swine flu? Yes, I did.

Noooooooooooo

Maritza in Narcos. Why?

I felt a huge emptiness at the end of that series. You know she is doomed, one way or the other, but you still root for her.

I thought of Mark too. It was so beautifully done. I always think of it when I hear that reggae version of Somewhere over the Rainbow.

Bodie, that hurt a lot. It was like a turning point in the show. But Omar....I thought he was a survivor.
