You sure?

I would love a new dryer for Christmas...how'sa bout you give me the dryer and my hubby can give your wife perfume. Sounds like a fair trade to me....

Our dryer was in the house when we moved in and has been on it's last legs for the whole time we've lived there (1.5 years)...I keep waiting for the day it really truly dies for good so I can justify getting rid of it.

that's why we got our new LG washer/dryer set before the Oct. because our older set was about 13 - 14 years old.  We out-thunk them!

Yesterday I just purchased a new leather coach with 2 matching BIG chairs and ottomans so our basement is almost completed.  Just need the HUGE T.V. for the Packer games.  Any suggestions?

That doesn't sound good (the dryer - although not seeing another X-mas doesn't sound good either )...

Ours perpetually sounds like a UFO taking off, with increasingly high-pitched sounds through the dry cycle. It also only works on one setting (perma press - time dry) - the sensors are shot as is the ability to pick different drying temps. Oh, and the handle hangs out of the door on a spring pole. Yours sounds worse.

This is funny this would come up...hubby just called me to tell me dishwashers are on sale for Cyber-Monday...that darn well better not be my X-mas present. A dryer I could take, but not a dishwasher.

(Our dishwasher soap dispenser stopped popping this weekend...one in a long string of things that doesn't quite work right anymore...)

For the money Vizio is a good set.  Just pay attention to resolution 15000:1 or greater for better color qaulity.

Comet:  Unless it is the motor itself a dryer is VERY uncomplicated.  May be just the on/off switch or the belt or?  He77 man use those brains for something other then to hang a hat or go buy the LG's they are sweet!!

oooo i had it working for about 30 minutes then it shuts itself off and wont restart. i cleaned a whole bunch a crap out of it "$3.75 worth of change" in every nook and cranny that thing has.
i think its the motor wife just started it again lets see how long it lasts this time. it dosent smell hot or anything just makes a bad sound starting up then progressively gets louder like a bearing or bushing is bad.
yes it is amazingly simple. tiny little rubber band that turns the drum was a bit of a surprise.

we want a front loading washer and matching drier. LG is nice. will get the storage drawers below too. hope i dont have to do this to soon.

gotta get ready for work see ya

Subject: RE: Team MOSCATEERS!
Happy, um, Monday? Just four more days until the weekend! (Why are you throwing things at me?)

Been wondering what all the teams have been discussing? Here's an update!

Moscateers:
Saling4 has been drawing up plans to build a pool for Dee, and a swim-up-bar for Kristen. Thanks Saling - you're the greatest! Kristen's dryer has been doubling as a UFO. (Or perhaps a UFO has been doubling as her dryer?) Comet_The_Dog has a feeling that his wife wouldn't appreciate a new dryer for Christmas.

Vigilantes:
Rmaldon240 stayed home to watch the Thanksgiving Day parade on TV while eating pie, ice cream and cookies. Irongirl39 walked enough to burn off some broccoli calories. Fielding is in Malibu interviewing people affected by the fires. ScotinSeattle won't reveal the contents of a package sent to her, but we know it contained lots of chocolate! (Good thing is wasn't hot outside.)

Turkey Terrors:
TriChica is looking for advice on fixing an unhappy rotator cuff. Gygyhawk went to the beach, while Artemis stayed home to cook and watch TV. Nhmorgan met all his November goals, and decided this merited some Thanksgiving gluttony.

5forFighting:
Rzzqb8 tried to run, but discovered she'd brought two right-footed shoes! (Maybe she should have read the Turkey Terrors recent thread about barefoot running!) In an ironic twist, Rzzqb8 announced last week that the only way she could meet her weightloss goal was to come down with a stomach virus. Take a guess what happened to her this week. Rkreuser had an unfortunate run-in with some gym equipment.

Twisnibbins:
During the last 26 days, this team (and its visitors) have written more than 8263 posts. Yes, you read that correctly. The only way to keep up with this team is to read a separate thread, "The Chronicles of Twisnibbins, aka Nibbins Notes" in which Team Captain Beth writes thread summaries. Hector did his first Tri, and was rewarded with pics. Kendra has learned how to make her phone vibrate. And Max showed off his nail polish collection.

Wild Hippos:
Cat went to the dentist, and wasn't happy about it. To make it worse, she had to cancel her physio and massage appointments, so she didn't get to see many hot guys. However, Reno8 offered to send her a picture for her new photo frame. Baowolf went to see Beowulf, and wasn't impressed. Owl_Girl will be getting married in January, but still plans on participating in the December Swim Challenge. AmbulanceDriver had a vacation in North Carolina, and just signed up for her first Tri.

Hard Core Tri Corps:
Team Captain BunnyB is taking a cruise vacation! SoFreshSoClean swam over 5500km in one day. He now needs to decide if he wants to do well in the December Swim Challenge or on his exams. MrsUSMC has purchased a few adult-only items. (No, not what you think. Or if it is, she didn't tell us!) Zipp1 commented on the team's post count for the day, and wondered if Turkey-coma had ended.

i have a front loader, a pretty orange one, and we paid for the drawers underneath.  other than the fact it raises up the machine, i can't figure out what i'm supposed to put in there.  they are too small for the size of detergent we have to buy (every time i turn around i'm washing gym clothes) and it's a pain in the arse to keeping bending down to put in dryer sheet when they can easily sit on top of the dryer.  i'm contemplating hiding christmas presents in them because i KNOW no one will look there!  my best friend suggested a bottle of vodka and a few pictures of patrick demsey but you could use whatever pics you wanted (ha,ha).

mine are 2 years old so maybe they are more practical by now, my s-i-l just had her husband build two big strong platforms and it works just as well and without the big price tag.

 

just my two cents.  hope your dryer hangs on into the new year!

Dealing with an injury or illness?

Several people have requested dropping out of the Challenge due to unexpected circumstances, such as injuries or illness.

Here is an alternative for you to consider:

1) Take the number of days that you DID participate. Divide that number by 30. (There are 30 days in November.)
2) Revise your goal to that percentage.

For example:
"Jane" originally set a goal of 100 miles of biking. She was injured after 20 days, and had to stop biking.

1) (20 days) divided by 30 = 0.67
2) (100 min) times 0.67 = 67 minutes

Jane revises her goal to 67 min. Her progress for the month will be compared to this revised number.

If you need to revise your goals due to illness or injury, you may do this. If you want help calculating/revising your numbers, you can PM me or your Team Captain.

i always thought it would be nice to get the drawers but the wife want to stack the washer and drier, sooooo i will prolly build a pantry cabinet to go along side of the unit and put in a full size upright freezer next to that.

dude.

i so hibernated that week - first dealt with sick child, then sick me, then felt less than motivated to do anything...

swim goal, i'll finish. the run goal is w/o question not do-able, but i might get to 50% on the spin class and strength goals - and if i don't eat another bowl of oatmeal until 2008, i'll be a happy camper.

here's to next month's challenge of relaxing because back to back challenge months didn't like me very much! happy day all...

Sorry to hear about that.  I have 3 more swim sessions and starting to enjoy it more, even though I have this mild sinus/dry lung cough thingy going.  I almost didn't make it last night but glad my sons didn't have b-ball practice so that I could knock off one more session.  Yahooey!

The November Challenge is almost over!

This month's Challenge is almost over. How times flies when we're having fun!

Please update your Google Spreadsheets with your final totals by "bedtime" on Saturday. This will give everyone a chance to get their last workouts in on Friday November 30th, and enter their totals the following day.

You do NOT need to calculate percentages. I will do that. (Yes, you can do it if you want to....)

On Sunday morning, I will download the spreadsheets and start summing up the data.

IF YOUR INFORMATION ISN"T ENTERED BY THE TIME I DOWNLOAD THE SPREADSHEETS, I WILL ASSUME THAT YOU HAVE NOT MET YOUR GOALS!

Team Captains - Please check your team threads on Saturday. If anyone has trouble using the Google Spreadsheets, please help them to enter their data.

Run! Swim! Bike! Get those last minute workouts in! There's still time!!!

Saturday is December 1st. It's also the first day of the SWIM CHALLENGE! If you haven't already done so, don't forget to sign up for the fun!

Thanks all for the happy thoughts sent my way.. They have been well recieved... I am starting to feel a little better, but no where near 100%... Haven't had my butt kicked like this in a long, log time.

 Looks like evryone has been rocking on! I won't be in the swim challenge, but I will be cheering from the side of the pool! (Uhm I swim like a log, float well, move slow)...

Good Luck to everyone!
