They don't make things to last anymore!!!

I need a "homeboy repairman"!! Went to run the dishwasher this morning & I couldn't get the door to close. I tried everything I could think of but finally gave up & called the hotline thinking that I had the child lock on or something. After spending 20 mins pressing buttons I finally got to talk to a ~~"real person"~~! Another 20 minutes before this so-called ~~expert~~ decided the latch was broken!. I explained the dishwasher was just about a year old & probably had been run a total of maybe 75 times!!!!!!! I was given a choice & 3 repair places to call along with an authorization number to get it fixed. I tried calling & not one of them answered the phone. At that point I pulled out my receipt which was dated Feb 21st, 2008 - more than a year - I called the store I bought it from. A very understanding sales person said he understood & gave me the number of their repair service. This phone call did not go as well as the ~~"witch"~~ person on the other end informed me:
1. They would not be able to come out until Tues!
2. It would be $69.99 for the service call, $35.00/30 mins for labor plus parts!
I'm sure I don't have to explain that at that point I had a "hissy" fit & was told if I hadn't have called the hotline they might have been able to work with me! Guess what they are not working with me!!!!
I went back to the hotline & after another 20 mins to get to a ~~real person~~ & 20 mins more of explaining that it was ridiculous that it wouldn't be covered under warranty.......... the average family would have used that dishwasher around 375 times!!! I ended up with another special authorization code but still had to find someone to fix it. I finally had one of the repair places answer the phone but still can't get anyone here until Tues!

Today we have a riddle???

What do you get when you cross a pile of scraps, a sewing machine, a woman possessed, & a husband on a week long golf trip? The following......... This is a tablecloth for my kitchen table....forgot to take the finished pic Cover for my sewing machine...very proud of this as I quilted the whole thing. This is the back....got tired of doing squares! Matching cover for my serger. I meant to post these a while ago & must have forgot. I have done a couple other projects since then which I will get around to posting soon. Had computer problems so I have some catching up to do Love

Sewing, weaving & emptying the waterbed

Monday morning began bright & early as we needed to finish emptying our bedroom. Mark was dropping LiLi off before 8:00am as she does not have school this week. We needed to drain the waterbed before we could take it apart. As usual we were having no luck getting the water to siphon out & even resorted to having LiLi (all 35lbs of her) sitting on it with us!! It probably took over an hour & who knows how many tries before it worked. Got the mattress out & discovered the decking was falling apart.....good thing we decided to do this project,,,,I was able to find a local place so we can just replace it & to be safe I also got a new safety liner & heater. I don't want to be doing this again for a while! While Popster worked on replacing the baseboard & window trim in those two rooms LiLi & I started working on this doll kit she had gotten for her birthday. All the pieces needed to be sewn togeth...

C of O ....Sun Room...Day Twenty Three-Twenty Five

This came in the mail today which made me realize I never posted the last couple days updates. They really all rolled into one as Jim ended up leaving at noon on Weds...it started to snow & didn't work at all on Thurs. Friday he finished things up by lunch time but had to spend the afternoon emptying my garage of all his tools. We had our inspection on Monday which wasn't a problem. It has been so sunny this week so far so it is so nice to sit in there & enjoy the view! Yes Molly hangs out in her a lot.....I have nose prints to prove she looks out of all the windows!
