I have a Samsung stove and I don't like it. But mainly because it was bought very rushed and I lost a lot of options that I had before and don't have now. Do you have this one? Just wondering because I love the center griddle option. It came with a flat griddle that fits over middle burner, so convenient for weekend breakfasts and stuff

Oh yeah I'm just not a fan of electric stoves in general. However the one advantage is the easy clean up top.

I miss my gas one from the old house.

This is what keeps me up at night. We just don’t know a lot and I refuse to let my kids be science experiments.

Just following up that all of our appliances are whirlpool 😄 so they are clearly not a magical brand, but it seems all have less longevity than they used to. The first washing machine DH was able to replace a part once before it totally broke, and the second one they replace the whole control module which may have shorted due to a power outage so possibly not the total fault of the machine. This problem with the second fridge very well may have been our fault.

I had a dishwasher that lasted less than a year. We bought it from a Sears and when it went out was shortly after all the Sears had closed. We couldn't find anywhere to call and see if there was a warranty or anything offered. So we had to buy another one. We've decided that any appliances we get we will get from a local appliance store. They won't fix anything unless you buy there anyway and then there's ways to look up an item for any type of warranty.

I exited a prominent local fb after comments on 2 specific posts were too much for me.
The first, someone was asking if masks are required in gyms, given our local ordinance. The gym they were going to was saying yes, but they knew other gyms were not requiring them while working out. Unfortunately for him, he also stated he’d rather go to another town where masks aren’t required. I thought the actual question though was really valid - Does the local ordinance for mask indoors override the state guidance for gyms? But lots of people just jumped on him, called him selfish, told him to move, accused him of killing people, hoped he gets sick, etc. It was so ugly and unnecessary. The moderator eventually deleted it and another post about masks and said no more mask discussion. But the question was never really answered.
Then someone shared the article about Catholic schools announcing they will have in person classes. The name calling, parent shaming, Catholic bashing on that was so hideous. People post there about things that happen at school board meetings and other local decisions, and it’s an easy way to find that info, but man there are a lot of people who use it just to voice their narrow opinions on every topic.

comicsans I was replying to a comment that said that if Home Depot and Walmart are open, schools should be open. There is so much flawed logic with that statement and I couldn’t resist. I shouldn’t have engaged. Shame on me. The other one was a lady who said that requiring masks and closures was leading to socialism and then ultimately communism and wake up, Sheeple! Fight back! I replied with a snarky comment. Shame on me again.

They came out and fixed the problem with the dishwasher we had in our last house that we bought from Lowes.

rainbowsockmonkey, That's where we ended up going. And we have for other items, but just went to the local Sears (when it was here) because it was a good deal.

The dishwasher in our condo is from 1985 and works fine. BIL and SIL just had to replace their dishwasher from 2012. I don't think there's a magic brand. They're just not built as well as they were. We have to get a new washer and dryer for the house and the ones I've been looking at are too fancy which means more stuff to break. I just want ones big enough to wash comforters. I don't need wifi.

Just sharing this. Our school just announced it is virtual. Parents are posting like crazy trying to get help and childcare. We have no child care or school for ds as of 1 month from now. I don’t know what we will do. We are searching private schools right now (Jewish community center and catholic school that we think are in person). And I suppose we will start looking for a nanny for ds only. It’s a panic right now here for all the parents. I should have seen this coming and already arranged a back up. It’s gonna be back to terrible again because I can’t wfh always. Even when I do I’m a bad teacher because I’m working too.

In terms of health activebaby I'm glad school isn't opening in person there but I'm sorry for you personally that you're having to do childcare panic! Is there any organizing (from nurses union or any other organization - seems even like it would be worthwhile for HR department of hospitals) trying to help with childcare/remote schooling options for healthcare workers' kids? There so should be! But I guess there isn't or you wouldn't be having to panic now.

THey're messing with the scheduling at H's job. He'll either have to go to night shift or a 1-9pm shift. Please pray for the latter for us. Otherwise it will be a nightmare.

I’m sorry activebaby. Everything is hard and there are no wrong choices right now. Your DS is smart and had a good start, and he’ll be ok no matter what. All your boys are little and as long as they’re safe and cared for they’ll be ok. PM me - I don’t know where you are exactly in relation to where DH’s cousin lives, but they may be able to help. Cousin’s wife is a teacher who’s currently home with their 2 year old was tutoring at night, and her family runs a private school. If you’re near them I can see what she knows, if she has ideas, or can offer help directly. ETA lecky if there’s anything you need too, let me know. She was a high school teacher and may know some former students who are around and available for child care.

I picked out A Samsung stove and dishwasher during our kitchen renovation. I’m happy so far, I really like my induction stove (we don’t have gas in our building).
DH took the girls to the driving range so I could have some alone time. Was planning on going out for a run but both my sports bras are in the washer 🤦🏻♀️

After 10 minutes she finally caught her tail. It kept moving when she would try and get it. She only does this on the back of the recliner.

My kids are away for a few days with my parents to the caravan.
So I’m catching up on the work I should have been doing for starting uni in September.
There is so much pre-reading and several tasks to do and I am completely out of practice.
It’s been 12 years since I went to police college and 23 years since I started university (shudder!!)
I am really out of practice and dreading starting in a class full of 21 year old graduates.
I’m also really bored already and just want to go for a drive, clean my house, garden or pack moving boxes 😂.
