C'est Mort

The washing machine, that is. After nearly 20 years of loyal service. Owes us nothing, but it is still inconvenient.

Given that laundromats seem to be a vanishing institution, said item will have to be replaced sooner, rather than later. And there is that whole plumbing issue to deal with. And while we're at it we ought to replace the dryer as well, especially since it barely functions and cannot be repaired (it also is nearly 20 years old. Yes, Rhi, that dryer)since the parts are no longer available.

Ya know, after awhile, chewing gum, spit, and baling twine just ain't enough to keep things together.

Le sigh.

My mother recently replaced her Dryer. She felt kind of cheated because there was no reason for it to fail, it had given her years of service since she bought it in 1973. I guess she felt it should last forever or something. She went to the place she bought it to ask about parts, and she even took the original recipt with her. The original guy who sold it to her was there. He sold it to her in the first few moths he worked there, and when my mom came in again, he was planning his retirement party.

Enjoy your new washer!
