Hey guys,
hope your staying warm and enjoying the snow (if you have any)!!

It's frustrating when you're used to doing things with the kids and can't because of an injury. I used to do a lot of physical things with the kids - chasing them while playing outside, dancing with them... I injured my knee just before the pandemic and while that injury seems to have healed, osteoarthritis has set in and it keeps me from being able to bend my knee without a lot of pain. I used to sit on the floor with the kids to play, read books. etc. I can't do that easily any more (I can get down but getting up isn't pretty - I feel like a turtle trying to right itself after it tips over! ) and while I've learned to adjust, it's really frustrating for me at times. I hope you heal quickly and can get back to doing all the fun things you used to enjoy with your kids.

That's kind of obnoxious behavior on her part. I don't do well with passive aggressive bs. I'd mention what her son said and ask if she has any concerns about the amount of time I spend with him one-on-one. It's kind of funny when they realize their kids have been repeating things they've said at home.

Like doctors or anything else I guess; some people like certain ones and some people don't.....LOL My aunt went ballistic when I told her we got an as her fridge is LG and she's had all kinds of trouble so???

Glad you found one. I had to go to an appliance store too. Our hardware stares don't stock any appliances either.

I do prefer appliances stores, I feel my valued with them.

I am surprised that LG is recommended, here the repair men will not touch LG or Samsung. My fridge is a LG but labeled as a Kenmore. I had to call a man an hour away to come check out the water line leak. He couldn't find anything, so we don't use the ice maker anymore since it still leaks. Other than that, the fridge still works and lasted longer than the GE.

I think my microwave/pizza oven is a LG too, also labeled Kenmore. We had that for ten years and my dh had to repair that once.

TODAY AGAIN! Uhm no, dcm, we have plenty of puzzles here but thanks...... NO NEED to dangle that puzzle in my face anymore, please take back home. Didnt actually say the latter but REALLY wanted to. LOL

Hope you feel better soon!

I was playing with the kids in the gym the other day and I tripped and fell on the hard floor. I landed right on my knee and now I have a painful bone bruise. At least I didn’t break or chip anything. I’ve always been a teacher who gets on the children’s level and plays gross motor games with them but until the pain is gone I’m going to have to sit on the sidelines and watch.

Not sure where to put this so.......dcb4.5 arrives and dcm shakes the puzzle I give him in his Christmas stocking at me and says 'he wants YOU to do this with him'. I say "it hasn't even been opened"....she says snarkily 'I KNOW'. So I think ok, and I open the puzzle after breakfast and sit down with dcb4.5 and he says "my mom wants you to do things with ME". so not sure what their conversations have been but obviously he tells her I don't do things with him.

Alwaysgreener her parents are our neighbors. We’ve distanced ourselves from them, just because we felt taken advantage of. They only call us when they need childcare or something mechanical done that they ask my husband to do/hint around about it until my husband offers. He’s stopped doing that now that the daughter caused a lot of friction.

girlmomma Wow, you are getting your money. How in the world did you manage that?

[girlmomma]

FlyingJewels that’s just creepy!!

[girlmomma]

FlyingJewels she never showed up again… and her parents are making $25 payments weekly to pay off her very hefty balance.

Lowe’s and electronic express per my research.,,,,Lowe’s and Home Depot don’t keep stock to sell, only displays, within the store and I can’t wait so we went to electronics express and got an LG… Every place told us LG was the way to go now they were bypassing all the others…Maytag , speed queen and Samsung. Oddly electronic express was only one who had one in the store. My bro shops there alot and now I know why. On our way home to get r going.

Do you have a newer Maytag or older Maytag? Maytag quality changed when they sold to Whirlpool in 2006.

My set is older from 1997.

When I went to purchase my dishwasher earlier this year, I was told there was a wait on the model I choose. I had done my research and I was willing to wait for that model. I was told months but it arrived in weeks.

From what I understand, appliances and furniture are being made, currently, as they are ordered vs pulled from storage.

You could always hit up FB and grab a used one to use while you shop and then resell or donate it once your new one arrives.
