What have you done today to make you feel proud?
Okay, so someone else ALWAYS starts this one but I'm feelin' mighty proud on this Thursday evening so I'll start. I'm also feeling particularly wordy, so watch out!!!!
1: I resisted getting into an argument. Gosh my tongue hurts. heh heh
2: Ladies; I actually diagnosed and repaired a dryer today!!!! I "sold" it, on the condition that it would work properly (we put 6 month warranties on our used stuff anyway). So after the customer left I put the thing on the dolly, wheeled 'er back to the appliance hospital, and plugged it in. It did everything but heat. So I got the Neecee meter (ha ha ha ha that's my own joke and I love it to death) to test the components in the area of the heating element. All were 100% okay, BUT no reading at all on the place where the heating element plugs into the machine. (that's the technical term) Yes indeed I got a new element (hubby showed me where to look) and wired that puppy up. Tested again - and what DO you know! It worked. Cleaned 'er up, shut her down, and wheeled her out for tomorrow's delivery.
Now, as you know, I AM selling something. It's appliances. However I don't expect any of you to buy one from my unless you
1)live in the Seattle area
2)want to
Ooops. My bitten tongue feels better.
BTW - we have a mentally delayed woman who comes and cleans appliances for cash or products. She's adorable. She just about split a seam when I fixed the dryer. She had to tell my husband that I was going to be as good as him soon. It was cute. I let her help me line the back of the machine up, and put the screws into the holes.
When I drive her home she always says "love you!". It's like having an eternal child, and it's priceless.
And Mary, I tried to move a full size side by side fridge today and the sucker didn't budge one inch. Guess I know my limitations...

'k...what's the neecee meter do? I am racking my brain here
My proud thing today: I made a decision to run for a very responsible office in my professional organization. Now I am excited, not skeered.

I'm so confused. I have to do something I'm proud of on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Now you're saying I have to add THURSDAYs to the mix?Allrighty then. This morning I had the perfect excuse to eat junk because I was starving and that's all there was to eat, but instead I waited until I got home and ate something healthy.
Umm...Ruth, I have a little something to tell you. Especially since you've lost weight.
You can't move a refrigerator unless you are as BIG as the refrigerator! Mary
Kudos to Mary for resisting temptation on a THURSDAY!!!! Whoo hoo!
I didn't get the memo on the Monday Wednesday Friday thing, partially because I just didn't pay attention....
Neecee - it's an Ohm Meter that we use to test the various electrical components in appliances.
Mary - I guess I never was quite a side by side. I won't get into the innuendo of top mount vs bottom mount (truly, descriptions of refrigerators...)
