I sure hope you're kidding Sue. No legit service will ask for your login information. Unless you want all of your email address reciprocates to get inundated with spam, ignore the message.

yep one of the very typical scams that continually go around trying to scare people in to giving up their passwords and personal info. Unfortunately some people actually do fall for this type of scare tactic.

(Passing Linda a towel to dab behind her ears)Hey sweetie, my first year winter sowing was last winter. I was very pessimistic about the whole thing but between Trudi's WS site and the WS forum I made it through with great results. I loved it so much and am doing it again this year. The only little tidbit of advice that I would like to offer before you start is to make sure that you have at least 3 inches of potting soil in your containers because it does compact and the containers that were deeper last year did much better than the more shallow ones. Proper drainage is key along with having the tops off to keep the airflow moving, totally eliminates that whole damping off issue that you get with indoor sowing. I started with milk jugs and then moved on to 2 liter pop bottles when I ran out. I like the results with the pop bottles better, they're easier to split without that handle being in the way and I left a tiny portion uncut so I could just flip them open when they needed to be open for a hot day, flipped them down when it got too cold again, and finally snipped them off when the temps were consistently above freezing/frost. I used bread racks to hold my containers and it worked great. Kept the jugs from blowing around the yard and allowed for the containers to drain nicely too. Karen/Kalena was my mentor and gave me all the tips I could handle. She was the best tutor and helped make it a blast for me! Hey Miss Pix! All good points darlin! Missed you! Hugs, Tracy

Want to ditch my FL for a Speed Queen
Q
Comments (45)
My FL that I ditched was a Duet made for Sears. The manuals were Duet. Mine did have a 2 hour sanitizing setting that I did use routinely. 2 hours to wash kitchen towels with not enough water - hot or not, never got them stain free and did not get the washer clean. And if you left the load in the washer with the door closed for anytime at all -- stinky!! And a rewash. My manual said to check under the rubber ring if you washed small items. I hated that washer!!! I think I hate it more now that it is gone! :) I'm sure there are great FL's made. I have a Miele vacuum I love, but it was very expensive. I never looked at the Miele washers. I admit, when I finally decided to get rid of the FL, I did not shop for anything other than the Speed Queen thanks to the information shared on this forum over the years. I was delighted to find a local dealer who also does their own service. I have followed pinky's "adventures", and still bought a Speed Queen. I am hoping for a positive outcome for you. I am watching out for any signs of a problem-so far none. I did buy the AWNE92 - electronic controls - the longer warranty sold me, as I intended to get the manual controls. It does have hot wash, but my hot water out of the bathroom faucet measures 130. I'm going to measure the hot wash next time. I did measure the 'cool' wash - it was 62 and it felt warmish to me, so that is the cycle I am going to try for our clothes. I think washing and rinsing in cold water causes wrinkles.....but that could have just been the FL. I am re learning how to do laundry. At least it is fast and I can open the lid and watch! My FL had a dark smoked lid and I could not see anything inside even shining a flashlight thru it. Jayme - still no regrets ditching the FL! In fact I feel stupid putting up with it for so long.

This was mentioned on our news channel not that long ago.
A lady was on TV talking about it, and she fell for it.

I received one of these a couple years ago, and soon as I saw *password* I knew it was a scam.

Sue, we know you're kidding!!! You're FAR too smart to fall for it.
But JUST to make sure, I'd better hurry!!!! :D

Yahoo has been having dificulties with malware for the past week. I am the d coordinatior for a large group and recently several people have complained that wwhen they click on a link to a hostess es email they get sent to someones elses addy or yYahoo's home page. There is definitely a worm going on and I believe someone's Yhaoo account is the source but I have over a 100 ladies to oversee so I jsut told them to scan their 'puters for malware. Of course 2/3s of them don't know how or won't. They contimnue to complain to me that I am sending them bad links. My puter is squeaky clean but even I get the bad links. So something is going on. I never Yahoo.

Jasdip, thanks for the compliment, but apparently I wasn't very smart. When I posted this I thought about adding a cute little smiley face, or something, but I was sure that anyone reading it and seeing the way it was worded would understand what it was. My bad. Sorry.

And BTW, I did not get this on my Yahoo account; wonder why? So that means those phishers already have my main addy. I guess they just want me to bait their hook...with my password. What password?

There are several times that I have tried to search for something, and it kicks me to Yahoo and several times I have to turn the computer of and on. By the way it is so easy to get caught in something--just because we always want something for nuttin!!! Especially us oldies.
