Kinda funny how Maytag had such successful marketing built around a repair man you hope to never see.
I had LG frontloaders with a 10 year warranty on the motors. Those were great. Now we have Samsung top-loading washer and dryer, and those so far are great too. Between them, I prefer the Samsung, mainly because top-loading washers are less of a hassle (easier to transition the clothing, don't have to worry about perfectly cracking the door almost-closed to avoid mildew) and maybe have greater capacity.
We had a Samsung fridge at the old place that was aight but had an absolute turd for water and ice (it just didn't make enough ice and the water trickled out). The new rig is also Samsung, though a different format. It appears to have the same icemaker and water dispenser, which I dreaded, but it can stay ahead of our ice consumption and the water comes out in a jet. So even from the same company and apparently the same hardware, a much better product.
You just never know. I suppose there are some reliably good brands out there in the appliance realm (I would be most encouraged to try the Sub-Zero family of products since they are still a family-owned business) but until we do a kitchen reno I won't even think about it (and so far, see no reason to do so even then outside of the electric range we have now).

This biscuit tin is almost square, but not quite. So 50% of the time I go to put the lid back on, it's wrong. Who on earth thoughts slightly non-square tin was a good idea…..
?I would have forced the lid down until it's eventually square..

2pm. Also going to try on a few other pieces, looking forward to it!

?That would annoy me so much. The obvious solution: eat all the biscuits and forget about the lid!

I guess I can add this here, unless it's better placed elsewhere. Been smiling all day because I was proven right
So here's the story…
I told my cousin ages ago that to install some bidets, he'd have to turn off the water to the unit.
He was telling me "you give up too easily."
Plumber/installer comes, sees the same shit I've been telling my cousin... I get to listen in as he tells my cousin... What I've repeatedly told him!!!!
The issue is that the water valves in the bathroom, that you would use to shut off the water normally, are busted.
So that's why you'd have to shut off the water to the unit.
I've tried to install a bidet before and had discovered that problem (busted water valve). I told him numerous times about that problem.
I figured since he paid someone to come down and do the job, that he should get his money's worth and hear it directly from the installer/plumber. The... Exact... Thing... I've told him numerous times!

The moral to the story is…You can lead a horse to water,but you can’t make him go fishing, or use a bidet.
mostly! -

After twenty six years of telling me how lethal and dangerous it is; my mom is now on doctor approved medical marijuana for pain. LMAO She has a tincture, actual buds, and a topical cream. She still refuses to concede to me that I have been right all along and weed is awesome. Seems fitting that I have to work a job that I cannot do this and yet I have to pay for her to be on it.

Right on. I didn't think about that in that regard.

The tattoo artist that is working on my back tattoo canceled on me yesterday. He didn't even have the dignity to tell me personally…had the desk guy call and apologize for him. Apparently he realized he was sick 17 minutes before my appointment...how professional. Needless to say once this nearly $4,000 back piece is done I will take my money elsewhere.

That just sucks man…plus, gonna be kinda awkward next session knowing the guy flaked out like that.
Hoping there's not much left for him to finish what he started. -
(Obviously not me)

Hoping there's not much left for him to finish what he started.He's the shop owner so he only answers to himself…I don't think it'll be too awkward because I've known him since I was a teenager. I was just already good, drunk (my pre-tattoo ritual is to get loaded) and ready to go. Canceling 17 mins before was so lame. Going back in this Sunday at 1. Luckily the Ravens game isn't until 4:25.
