    BOOK OF LON: CHAPTER 1, VERSE 3-5

    Always somethin... allllways somethin. Go to do laundry in the laundry room thinkin all's good on wednesday night.  Load 8 towels and let it do its thing.  Go in after it was to be done and the towels are soppin wet still.  Go back to let it spin again.... agitator aint spinnin again!
     
    2x already the washing machine broke down the 1st bein the infamous nipplegate scandal during the superbowl involvin Janet Jackson where my mother-in-law came over and overloaded it causin it to break (1st ever problem wit it) then again then last year it broke. each time to the tune of $150 to fix.  We both agreed that if it broke a 3rd time we were just gonna scrap it.  Well...  come wednesday it happened again.
     
    The piece is the size a lil bigger than a quarter. plastic piece. Probably only cost .50cents to make.  So i dialed in to sears.com and went browsing.  All this time we would go in a store for another reason and see the nice side load washer and dryers and say OH THOSE LOOK HOT!! All the various colors and ish. But now that its time to pay for one the game dun changed!
     
    After the window shoppin i ended up selecting a frigidaire washer & dryer set $749 and $699 respectively and they have an incentive goin on of 15% cash back when you buy 2 and free haulaway and shippin & handling after rebate.  So out the door was $1690.  This was the only point we kept our sears card acct open.  in case an appliance ever broke down and needed replacin real quick.  Cant be waitin till next payday to get a new frig now can we lol
     
    Got that all ordered up and scheduled for delivery for friday am since that was the soonest avail delivery (for the record it was 130am thurs am now)  I went on downstairs that night and unscrewed and unplugged the old broke stuff (nothin was wrong wit the dryer but gotta have matching sets!) and pulled it out to the garage for pickup (sears offers $10/appliance for haulaway).  The next day 830am the guys were pullin up and lickity split they pulled out the old stuff and 2 man hauled in the new setting it up and gave it an inaugarual run!  Its so awesome and quiet!  I had one of my closest friends on the phone as i was givin it a run and they couldnt even hear it on wash cycle!  watchin it on spin is fun cause it looks like a turbine engine of a jet lol
     
    Today i got a 2nd storage rack up to house all the detergent and stuff we had in the window sill for the longest time. it would keep the temptation of putting stuff on top of the new appliances down most definitely.
     
    Anywho, Im disappointed in NH for falling for that sucker ish Hillary pulled wit her cryin.  They all got played and apparently the rest of the U.S. got it but certainly they didnt get the memo in time.  So disappointing that NOW richardson dropped out when he shouldve as biden and dodd did that wouldve freed up 11k votes to go toward someone really contending.  Oh well ive already got it written down when and where my local caucus is so im goin and castin my vote.
