How did Dusty Springfield put-it? Wishin' and Hopin' and Dreamin' and Prayin' .....

Would definitely like a number of the latest "on assignment" trolls to have a chance to wake up before its their own SHTF ......

Does this count?

My Dryer stopped heating when I put a load in Jan. 1. Never a problem before.

However, it's about a billion years old and the idea of an embedded chip in this thing is laughable :-)

However, since then, I've been curled in a fetal position in the corner wearing wet, mildewed clothes, crying softly.

I've got a bunch of brown marbles in my drawers!

It's just that .... last night ... I had this dream of Krempasky doddering down 57th St. after retying the rags around his frostbitten feet, trash-picking, squabbling with the rats over a moldy chalupa. All the time muttering ... "It wasn't Y2K related ....."

Actually, I'm ordering "Cheap and Easy Dryer Repair" from Amazon.com.

And I've sent in for quotes on-line for what the doohickeys cost that I think may be the problem.

In the meantime, I'm taking my clothes down to the laundromat after I wash them. At least I have a semblance of a shell of my pre-Y2k extravagant life of luxury.

Don't worry, once I burn my house down from my feeble DIY repairs I won't be able to post here anymore.

Wow, you switched to the dark side - now you are a survialist! Next thing you know, you'll be ordering Spam online from a computer that uses power you generate by riding a bike!
