LG Lemon Dishwasher Part 3

If you’re not up to speed here check parts one and two.

OK, we have returned the “Lemon” to Home Depot, siting their 90-Day satisfaction guarantee as the reason. No questions asked, the took it back.

Of course it still looked new and we gave them all the instructions and everything from the second (new) dishwasher. You can’t save the box, as soon as you open it all the stuff to keep it from getting crushed just falls to the side. No way I was going to try and put that back together.

I installed the second unit, ran it empty and it was as quiet as the first one.

Here we are about two weeks later give or take. We’ve had a couple of noises, that didn’t sound normal to us, and a couple of things come out with baked on food again. Just a couple items mind you, not the whole load.

We’re keeping an eye on it. If it gets worse this sucker is going back and we’re swearing off LG. Next up will be the:

White Kenmore Elite TurboZone™ Dishwasher
Sears item #02217052000 Mfr. model #17052

Saturday…

This day started out well. My cousin and her husband were supposed to come down. Dave is supposed to take a look at a few things we need done around the house that I don’t have time to do, nor am I that interested in doing.

I also need to ride down to Dry Ridge to meet Cooter for lunch and pickup this:

a Shoei Syncrotec helmet, a nice top of the line Shoei flip up. An early Christmas gift kinda. He bought it and didn’t like the way it fits with his glasses.

My intentions are simple. Ride down, have lunch get back before Dave and Sally leave. Claudine is prepared to discuss what she wants done.

Today is the first Saturday in a LONG time that we haven’t had anything serious going on and Cooter and I couldn’t connect last weekend so today is the day I have to meet him.

I don’t care who you are that’s funny right there!

OK, so we’re Larry the Cable Guy fans, right? Who isn’t.

Everyone has to admit he’s one of the hottest comedians these days. He’s a riot, Blue collar comedy tour and all of that.

We heard he was going to be near us at Belterra Casino, and thought, hey, let’s go check him out and have us a good ol time!

Well I don’t think so. You know what Larry’s charging to grace us with his presence?

$75 a seat.
Yeah you read that right Seventy Five Dollars
$25 short of a Ben Franklin
Now that’s funny right there, I don’t care who you are, that’s funny!

That’s a bucket of beer short of a hundred dollars, a Ben Franklin, and with the price of gas what it is, you’ll end up spending well over two bills to drive from Cincinnati to Belterra to see Larry. Over 2 bills for a date to laugh at regurgitated CD material that you could have had for less than $20 bucks.

Now I’m not denying the man the right to earn a living, but for crying out loud this is comedy after all, and he’s just a good ol red neck like the rest of us right?

But $75 is Rolling Stones or Elton John kinda pricing and Larry just isn’t up to that. I wouldn’t pay that for Seinfeld either. Especially in an 1800 seat theater. Cmon… Smaller comedy clubs are where it’s at anyway. Maybe $75 in a small cozy club, that could be good. But no, sorry Larry, uhuh, Mamma didn’t raise her no dumby. The Blue Man Group don’t charge that much.

So maybe when he comes to Cincinnati, to the US Bank Arena, which holds a lot more people. Then perhaps he’ll adjust his pricing and I’ll get to see him for around $35 to $40 which makes a little more sense.

Larry, you’re letting us down man. It’s one thing to make jokes about us but to try and rob us blind while you make jokes about us is just plain wrong. We love you man and you are one of us, that’s why we all laugh as hard as we do. The truth hurts you know.

That aint Git-N-R-Done with your fans.

Women and their birthdays!

Well. Most husbands have a tremendous project in store when it comes to planning their wife’s birthday. Whether it’s planning a party or a romantic evening out. But they know that they’d better plan SOMETHING, or as my husband said in a previous entry – “the world stops!”
I see myself as pretty LOW maintenance…for my birthday the last few years we go do our Xmas shopping together and get most all of it done in one day. We return home to drop off the goods and then go back out to grab a bite to eat, just the two of us. No reservations required, no dressing up, no advance thought necessary. Pretty simple I think.

Not only is it simple – but I even arrange the babysitting – so all he has to do is show up and shop!

This year as I have the past few, I arranged the babysitting for the day after Thanksgiving.

I told him about this this evening and he looked straight at me and said, “I HATE THAT DAY!” Myself, being stunned, asked why.

He answered, “Cause you don’t let ME buy ANYTHING!”

I couldn’t imagine what he meant – I said, “The people at Toys’R Us ask to go to our house for Xmas, we walk out of there with so much stuff! What are you talking about?”

Then the truth came to light…..he answered, “NO, you don’t let me buy anything for ME that day!”

lol

I think I might try the high maintenance approach and see what happens.
