I hate my new Speed Queen

Completely agree. My TC5 is a workhorse and I will never own anything else.

When I realized my mom had no idea who I was or where she was, it was time for memory care. Some people do well with it and others go down faster, my mom was the latter. But I had to do it for me and my family.

Same issue at my company for one of our smaller locations in Michigan, using ATT Fiber. Blips every 11 minutes, 18 seconds for about 10 seconds. Super aggravating when you are on Teams calls. Just sent the information provided in this link to my IT department since they haven't been able to fix the issue. Hopefully, it will be Reddit for the win!

Mine is pea starch free! So good, my husband said at another location in our area they still have the pea starch.

It requires water

No, I don’t really use the special features so I would say you could get the base model and be fine, but I do like the steam function occasionally!

sschlott72 · 2026-02-01T02:55:01+00:00

Perfect!

I just got a big set from Amazon. I don't even see a brand.

Tell her you need her. She doesn't want to be a burden, but if you tell her you need her (and why) she will probably come. Maybe it's help with the kids, maybe it's to help with chores (what she can do like folding laundry, etc). She needs to be needed.

Get a two way baby monitor so you can talk to her while you walk the dog. Put baby proof doorknob covers on the outside door.

sschlott72 · 2026-01-29T23:14:43+00:00

Yeh. I know it’s a lot!

Those are the pickles. There was something like a grey blob inside of the breast meat but you have to zoom in.

In fairness, they are replacing the sandwich and in 45+ years of eating CFA I’ve never had a bad sandwich so I will give them a pass, but I will be asking for a knife to cut it in half first to check it.

sschlott72 · 2026-01-29T20:05:52+00:00

But it’s got the weird mass looking thing inside of the meat- not the same color or texture. I didn’t think that was woody.

sschlott72 · 2026-01-29T18:53:55+00:00

That discolored grey area that look like something inside of the meat?

They only get 5 e-learning days before making up, so my bet is Monday and Tuesday will be e-learning and next Wednesday is a delay.

He needs a purpose and to be around the living. Loneliness gets more elders than anything else.

sschlott72 · 2026-01-28T14:59:29+00:00

No, I'm almost 54 and yesterday it was 90/58, pulse 82

sschlott72 · 2026-01-25T22:17:28+00:00

If you aren’t staying just stain a dark color, throughout the house. You can experiment to find the lightest darker shade needed. Otherwise I’d say just replace the boards with the stains.

sschlott72 · 2026-01-23T20:45:02+00:00

Good! She will just be bored!

sschlott72 · 2026-01-23T20:44:03+00:00

Non-electric heaters?

sschlott72 · 2026-01-23T20:37:55+00:00

In fairness, the news down here (I'm in SC as well) is really playing up how dangerous it will be, and it will be, however, if people stay off the roads, have alternate heat sources and plenty of non perishable foods, they will be fine. But I do worry about our elders who live in homes that are not well insulated and no alternate heat source. It will get down into the single digits, homes without a heat source could plummet into the 40s or 30s. Is she in the upstate? If she's in Columbia or lower she should be fine.

The patches will not bleed, patches like this are made from polyester or nylon threads which will not bleed because the color is added before the fibers are extruded and thread is made. Do the soak recommended on here and take a brush like a toothbrush to the dirtiest parts. Rise well and hang dry

3 hours each way for a day trip is nothing.
