I have a new LG refigerator with craft ice. My water was fine but both door ice and craft ice taste strong of plastic. LG said the problem was the braided line to the fridge, however it has a PEX lining and should not be the problem. I thought I double checked the filter seating, however upon reading this post again, I tried again. The filter felt lite and when properly turned, I could hear water flowing in and the filter got heavy. Flushed the line and wiped out the ice tray for a clean re-start. I’ll let you know if it fixes the craft ice and door ice taste

Before I launch of into the ether, LavenderLass..... Your husband is doing OK now, and y'all are over and out of perils and pitfalls that befell y'all? This is gonna be a fairly long ramble, 'cause I’m really good at such things, and I sorta kinda in a way wanna brag about it all anyway..... We started on our new place at the end of this past June. Well, if you count the well and septic as starting, it was the first week of June We have a nice 1888 sq ft house on a couple of acres surrounded by a couple of acres of county owned "Storm water run off ROW" right down town here in the middle of the big city, Well, OK, with the "finished basement" I reckon it's really more like 3456 sq ft, but around here nobody counts a finished basement as part of the house. It's kind of just expected. We have always had a place way out in the sticks since we first got together 33 years ago. We had a really nice almost 2.5 miles off the road down a private ROW in the middle of an Appalachian foothills hollow out of the way almost 40 acres that we bought when the kids started middle school and we decided I was keeping the "new" job and that we would move closer to the real world than our 105 acres in the middle nowhere Tennessee was. Then a moron in a great big hurry passed a school bus on a curve and there I was. To make a real long story short enough to bear, everybody but me thought that being a "Neurological disaster area" that far off the road with no neighbors and cell phone service only if you're in the right spot is totally unreasonable. My wife said she would be OK with me finding a place just as country just half as close to home (which would have been 13.75 miles) and half as far off the road with a neighbor or two...... Which of course no one thought I would ever be able to do. So, I asked everyone everywhere that I came across and looked and looked and drove down every un-named pig path around and at last found a very nice 17.3 acres located almost right where three counties meet right in the very middle of the NC Piedmont. Unbelievably rural for considering its' being just 7.5 miles from the square in the booming metropolis of Mocksville, NC. and pretty much equi-distant to Salisbury, Lexington, Statesville, and Wake Forest University/Baptist Medical Centerin Winston-Salem. And it's just 47 miles to the terminal entrance at Piedmont-Triad International Airport in Greensboro, NC. and 67 miles to the terminal entrance at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport in Charlotte, NC too. C was at first in shock that I actually found such a place and was a tough sell on me getting us this, but she finally realized that I was never going to shut up about it said if I could swing the deal that she would sign her name on the dotted line right next to mine. Everybody concerned, the people selling it, the real estate agent, the neighbors, the county folks, the people down the road, everybody, said we were never going to get it at what I was willing to pay. Everybody, except me of course, had little enough faith in my unfathomable charm and and bull dog (though many call it bull something else) tenacity to think that I would ever be able to talk us into making such a deal. But, I DID! And so C just like she said she would ended up signing her pretty little signature right next to mine and it's since Dec 2013, it's ours..... Very private at a little over 1.3 miles off the pavement across three cattle grates through pasture and woods down an excellent shared private drive with one neighbor 500 - 600 feet distant on each side of the home-site. A school teacher couple with no kids on one side, and a retired serviceman and wife on the other, and an absolutely palatial estate behind across the river. Due to the location on an oxbow of the river, and being in a three county "Designated Agricultural District", that's all the neighbors there will be. And the "Designated Agricultural Area" is bigger than this whole one town one high school county of maybe 40,000 is, and near as I can tell has a population density of 32 per square mile, which for east of the Appalachians, especially in the Ga/SC/NC/Va Piedmont, means it's virtually empty. Sort of a pie shaped property with almost 2100' on the S Yadkin River. From a +75' bluff above the river down to several hundred feet of actual real sandy beach right down along and with two great big and deep swimming holes including one with a great big rock sticking up right in the middle for an excellent diving platform into its' 12 - 13 foot deep hole, with 300' fronting the "drive", +3000' along the longest side of the property with +1200' along the "opposite" side. And the river is from beginning to end one of the very few NC state "Protected Watershed"s and there willnever be any kind of development adjacent to it, no industrial plants, no sewer plants no nothing except woods and farmland. C had serious doubts about the rational of buying this place, but, the chances that anybody could now talk her into selling bit and buying something else, are substantially less than zero..... Approx. 5.5 acres of very nice and healthy pasture/field - with close to 12 acres in large mature hardwood's from level river-front floodplain to gently sloping to fairly steep hillside. And several acres of those hardwoods down in the flood plain that will one day make another several acres of beautiful shaded summertime pasture too. We have us a new permitted and tested and approved 282' well with static water at 60', and a new permitted and tested and approved septic system installed. We bought a really odd 14 X 68 half of a double wide with an odd 2 separate pitches roof that we stripped out from end to end and is now in the process of being completely and totally ever so slowly redone by ME formerly 2 bed/2 bath - now being turned into a luxurious 960 sq ft 1 bath, 1 bedroom with a small alcove, an entrance-hallway/laundry/closet, a 9'6" X 13' "spare" room (for ME!), and a large sewing room and walk in closet. VERY rustic in the outside appearance as the neighbors are like minded and none of us are concerned with what the drive by traffic that will never be, nor are any of us about impressing the county tax folks or anybody else except for the Great Blue Herons, Beavers, Bald Eagles, Deer, Turkey, Fox, Bobcats. Rabbits, Raccoons, Skunks, Possums, Wood Ducks, and according to one local lunatic, Bigfoot too, that are all in abundance here. A wonderful retirement place for us, our now grown and hopefully permanently gone kids, our 5 dogs, horses, cattle, goats, and chickens, and our peace of mind too..... You could look and look, but it's it's absolutely no exaggeration to say that no one will ever find another "almost like being in the mountains" place like this anywhere in all of the Ga/SC/NC/Va Piedmont. OK. The youngest of the great big Great Pyrenees wanting to go out and play in the snow, I am done with my brag..... As next week is the first time this season since early November that we'll see temperatures hit 60F, work is about to once again, begin in earnest. And regular reports of perils and "progress" and pic's too are soon to follow.

Thanks for the compliments, everyone. I really love my rooms, and I don't find them dark at all, just subtle as auntjen said. I think I prefer the Old Salem Gray, which is funny because initially I disliked it. I finished the cutting in and lived with it for a week or two, and now it's my favorite. I do think I'm going to lighten up the proposed draperies and do something besides the dark russet paisley I posted in another discussion. I need thermal drapes given my single pane windows, but I'm planning to hang them high and wide to showcase the molding, and take them down in the summer for a change of pace. Bungalow_house, if you're looking for a recommendation, I like my SW Camelback for a butterscotch tan/squash yellow. It looks completely different from the last house (with white trim), but it looks very appropriate here. It changes quite a bit with different lighting; it shows the green undertones during the day and more of a peachy/squash color at night, so that may not work for you. It's not a very accurate photo, but here is a pic of the foyer in Camelback.

AD, I'm sure your point in posting this video was nothing relating to my reaction to it, but I feel very strongly about it. My comments to follow are aimed at the people who made the video, not you. Yes, it's true, there are dialectical differences between standard American English and some subcultures. I noticed these were African Americans who were being lampooned. Judge Judy speaking in a schoolmarmy way to those appearing on her show, trying to correct them to standard language, as opposed to their dialects, is one thing, but Comixbear putting the clips together to make fun of people expressing themselves the way everyone in their culture does is somewhere between nasty and racist. And ask pronounced "aks" is a standard variation that dates back hundreds of years in England. "Ask" won around the time they standardized spelling. It's not the only fossil of Old England that can be found regionally in the U.S. You did give me a hint as to what IC has been asking about the differentiation. Canapé (which originally meant bed), in my vernacular, is a kind of layered tidbit, akin to an open faced sandwich. Traditionally they were made on bread, though they're often made on crackers now, or slices of potato or other vegetable. Often there is a spread or piped soft ingredient, which helps hold on other topping(s). Hors d'oeurve, as I've always known it, can be passed, served with small plates on a buffet, or presented at table. They are 1-2 bites, and can be just about anything. Recently trendy ones include lamb lollipops (thinly sliced rib lamb chops just the bone's width wide, and trimmed down to just the eye), any meat on a skewer or even caprese salad on a skewer, risotto arancini, shots of soup or gelee, and cups carved out of vegetables with some kind of paste inside. Ten years ago, Chinese spoons were popular for serving things with broths and sauces, but they're very awkward to eat and aren't seen so much. There were also a lot of dim sum and satays (whence the popularity of skewers). In the 1990's it was all about stuffed endive spears and caviar, which were '60's reboots along with martinis. The '80's were all over the map, but I saw a lot of mini quiches and pinwheel sandwiches. Before that were all the '50's/'60's stars, many of them slightly Asian or questionably French: Rumaki (bacon wrapped around marinated chicken livers wrapped around a water chestnut on a toothpick), crab rangoon (crab and cream cheese filling fried in a wonton wrapper), and stuffed choux paste puffs (savory) or cheese puffs, were iconic. It was also the era of the cheese ball and pigs in a blanket (mini hotdogs wrapped in dough and baked), however. I agree that when one says "appetizer" or "starter", it's meant to be served at the table, before the entree (American meaning) or main. American meals often don't have a separate appetizer or fish course, and start with soup and/or salad.
