things fall apart

Posted by mountainmelody On 3/03/2009 08:17:00 PM
Do you know what the inside of a dishwasher looks like?
How about a thermostat?
Or maybe a washing machine?
A month ago, I had never seen or cared about any of these. But now I have, since everything in my house apparently decided to fall apart at once.
Also unfortunate is the fact that my repair skills are extremely rudimentary--or perhaps I should say non-existent. I can dash out a paper on church history or any number of arcane topics, but put a broken dishwasher in front of me, and I'm pretty much hopeless.
The only redeeming factor in this situation is my kind neighbors who are helping me try (in vain?) to repair these items. Anyway, if you know anyone who's selling a portable dishwasher, programmable thermostat, or washing machine for a good price, send them my way.

    Poor thing. You with all those breakdowns. I am like you, I know how to push buttons but just don't let the darn thing break.

    Well, at least you can use the word arcane in a sentence! :)

    Try Craigslist in B'ham. You might find some good buys there.

    Thanks--I've seen several that looked good there in the past few days.

    I figured you, being so internet savvy, were familiar with craigslist, but one never knows who knows what. :)

    Good luck!
