The good news is that our sad washing machine is still under warranty.

The bad news is that our washer makes this ear-screeching noise when it spins; when it changes cycles; when it agitates………………really all the time, except when it’s standing still.

 

So the nice repair man is coming today.

I’m thinking he is going to be a bit judgy.

I’m worried about what he is going to find.

*****See Previous Washer Repair*****

 

If I just deny any knowledge or involvement in the untimely-death of our washer………………..I think I should be good, right?

 

But I do want any of the flattened coinage that he prys loose.

And I had no involvement whatsoever with the pocket change getting into the washer (to get flattened) in the first place.

But this is all conjecture, as the repairman is not here yet.

It could have absolutely nothing at all to do with the pennies and dimes I may have inadvertently tossed in…………………by mistake…………..

………….of course…

And he will no doubt be surprised and critical by the small, piled, mounds of diatomaceous earth that I have troweled around the edges and back of the washer………..

 

…………..hey, we live adjacent to a swamp here…

 

There are bugs everywhere……………..and I draw the line at regularly laundering bugs with our clothes.

 

Nothing kills that squeaky-clean feeling faster than finding a dead beetle stuck in your bath towel or armpit or where-ever after a shower…

And you don’t want to spray pesticides in a washing machine, do you?

I know this now…………..

…………..you end up smelling like a Roach Motel.

I wonder if my pouring a quart of ammonia in the washer’s barrel to soak over night, had any affect on the screeching……………it started right after that.

Hmmmmmmmmm…

 

 

……………….I was just trying to discourage the bugs…

 

 

You know, after re-reading this post……………….between the dirt mounds, and the ammonia-soakage, and the hammered/flattened pennies………………..I’m surprised that poor machine didn’t run screaming out the door and disappear forever into the swamp…

…………………..poor thing.

Life’s tough out here………
