I've been real proud of how I've handled the stress, with all the carp that has rained on my parade, lately, but today was the kicker....the straw that broke the camel's back.

I won't bore you with a repeat of the whole list of cat's-asstrophies, but today they brought my new washer And they have to reschedule....wanna know why? Of course you do. ....

My chairlift to the basement, which they fixed last week, wouldn't move, so they couldn't get the washer past it.. If that wasn't enough, the lift repair place tells me that my lift is out of warranty and it will cost me 75.00 for them to come out.

I cried my face off, right in the poor girls ear...LOL. After I made her feel as bad as I could, I explained the week I had had and she immediately understood and wondered how had lasted so long.

I'm all over it now and looking forward to my next surprize...NOT!!

Thanks for letting me get that out...EEEEEK!!!

Sally, it wouldn't move at all or they couldn't get passed it? If it wouldn't move as in it's broke then I am sorry. Does it have a manual release when the electric wont work?

I can tell you with almost 100% confidance if you have enough head room that they could have laid the washer on the chair lift on it's side and guided it down if it could move down the track. How do I know this? I had the same problem and figured if the chair could hold 250 lbs it could hold a washer, dryer, treadmill, gas water heater, packed boxes, etc. LOL

The other thing is couldn't they lift it over the chair and then carry it down? I've done that too on occasions when something was too heavy to guide with the chair.

Aw Sal,

Here's my shoulder, get it all out, after all, it's Friday! Now have a nice margarita.

Sally

((((hugs)))) You need a break!!! Have another margarita!

Aw, crap, Sal. Methinks that upstairs laundry theory we talked about might be a real possibility now. Get some rest.

Here, I poured you another margarita with extra salt.

Well, take it as a sign that you should not have to do laundry anymore.

Did that help?

It didn't?

Oh....................................

(((Sally))) - I am sorry! You had a horrible day! I hope tomorrow is much better.

Good news....the chair lift guy came out and spent a whole bunch of time fixing it. He said that the other worker had not done his job properly..... and he didn't charge me a dime. He told me he would explain to that meany, who said she was going to charge me. He said she is always short until she has her 10th cup of coffee..

My new washer comes tomorrow and my hunk got A discount and paid for it himself.....this is the guy who did my bathroom (he works at Home Depot on the weekend)

I'm having a bunch of men in here this week...yesterday, the stair guy, today my garage door opener guy comes to replace my faulty old opener (good Price), tomorrow the Schwans guy and the washer guys....thursday, the pest contol guys to get rid of my Mouses that stayed for dinner and have overstayed their welcome.

Friday I will need my rest..LOL! I may have to let Johnny Depp out of my bathoom....I think Sandy needs him back...

That's right you have to share! LOL

Good to hear you got a great repair guy to fix the lift right!

I had ants in my kitchen this morning. Not sure where they came from but I sprayed so much I started choking. LOL Guess I know what I am doing today.
