Kylie, it isn't that I feel that bad it is just that I get so winded when ever I try to do things. Since I had the stent put in my heart last year and started taking all these darn medicines I haven't been much help to anyone, BUT, I am getting better little by little. I do not feel bad though. Maybe some one is looking out for me by giving me all of these blossoms that I DO NOT deserve. Bill Oh, I just got my first blossom on the Cherub cutting that you sent me. Thanks.

Rita, I don't think garden work ever gets "caught up" but it sure sounds like you've been making progress! I'll bet that really feels good. Good for you! Saturday will be a big catch up day for me. The town holds a free "clean up" day where you can dump anything you need to be rid of for free. I hope to get the rest of my sunflowers and some tree suckers pulled too. I have been saving all the seedy weeds and big stalks like sunflowers on my trailer all summer so that I can haul it all to their dumpster. It is a mountain. Then the community gardens require so many hours of volunteer time and their last work day is also on Saturday. I still owe them 1.5 hours so I'll be helping winterize things down there too. If I get done with all that I have a plot there ready to till and cover with black landscape fabric so that it is ready for spring planting when I start moving daylilies & iris again. I would love to mulch my yard too but need to buy & install edgers first as the soil is already washing into the walkways in some areas. Then there is the rest of the 12.5 yards of sheep poop that I still need to spread. I guess it could be used as a mulch too. Then there are the beds around the house that I didn't have time to weed this summer & now need to really be dug......then...it never ends :)

I wish my pause button would work so I can open door, sometimes it works 1 out 10 xs maybe. The tech wouldnt listen to me about that problem. I just did the test of 9 towels-10 handtowels-10 washclothes and they did work this time, they didnt tangle up and the machine didnt stop and it did balance out, I dont know why the last time I tried this, it wouldnt spin, or why it wouldnt spin with 5? I mentioned to the tech that the other guys told me that it would ruin the rubber seal if I put what the manual recommended, he said that is bull and said not true, these machines are made to wash full loads, I guess medium size loads is when it doesnt work. Now I will have to do the test with all long sleeve light weight items, maybe that is why they tangle up, maybe there is too much room for them to tangle? I would be much happier if this was the problem "easy fix" I just wish that they would have told me this to begin with instead of telling me I had the right amount in. We'll see. Now the soap thing, I didnt use soap in the towels, I'm kinda scared to, but I think after I see no more suds I will. I am going to go buy somekind of powder, I think I will try Gain? do any of you use it? how does it work in the newer models? I use to use Powders in my Frigidaire FL with FS and I didnt like the way the powder didnt rinse from the dispenser, it always left a bit in it, and the FS I didnt dillute with water like they say now days to do, but my washer got the mold on the dispenser where the FS was, I think that is what caused all the mold?

This is just too good to pass up. Have sent copies to a couple of my friends so we can all commiserate together. Thanks for sharing.
