We've always bought real Kona at the Costco's in Hawaii during our trips - better price than most places, but still pretty expensive!
Now, I'm beginning to think I've got a "deal" up here when Kona becomes available on those rare occasions. I figure what I'll save by not buying a round-trip airline ticket to Hawaii will more than compensate for the cheaper Costco price if I actually bought it IN Hawaii !!!

Now that's a budget strategy that I could get on board with, too!

Because they are temperamental and have to be showered with constant attention in order to work right. You asked!!!
Why am I not surprised that you'd come up with a response like this!

So, our washing machine broke today. Well, it didn't completely break, it just doesn't work at all on the wash cycles. It's fine on the rinse cycles! Maybe we could just rinse the clothes, throw them in the dryer, and call it a day?! Well, hubby can't tear himself away from anything that's broken . . .there's just nothing more exciting to him when he gets to putter around with broken machines . . .
He took apart the whole switch mechanism and realized the problem was the timer. Took it out, whacked the bottom of it with his wrench, and put it back in. Washer cycles work now
, but it's just a temporary fix. He'll go get the new timer part this week. Oh goodie . . . another excuse to go to the parts supply store . . . tools, hardware, etc.; it's all nirvana to him!

I think you'd be an awesome grampa.Hahaaa...! Not yet!
Like we did, oldest DD and hubby are waiting to buy a house before they start a family. They're probably about a year or so away from the home purchase.
After that, it may not be long before we hear the pitter-patter of grandkiddos feet...!!!

I'm so sorry for your loss.I can imagine. One of our kitties passed away this year
Animals, are the best creations on this earth, so loving, forgiving and kind. I had to make that decision too, but both of our dogs came down with cancer (we lived over a land fill), that didn't have to be disclosed 30 years ago. In fact, I lost two best friends in the neighborhood, with lung and breast cancer. There should be a law against building homes over an old landfill.... rant over....so sorry you went through this...our pets just don't live long enough!

Worth it, if you can find it. It comes to our Costco around Christmas. Very special.We've always bought real Kona at the Costco's in Hawaii during our trips - better price than most places, but still pretty expensive!

I thought there are laws against building over landfills, or at the very least there's a remediation period? We live about a couple miles from an oil refinery and I had a friend in college who lived right across the street and said many of his neighbors developed diseases while living there. One thing definitely has to do with the other, but of course "they" say otherwise.
Yes, animals are really amazing with their unconditional love! True, they don't live long enough, but I've had kitties who lived to be about 20, which is pretty darn good.

That 's funny, I have replaced the timer in the dryer and washer. My dad was great at fixing things, he showed me some stuff before he passed. Hubby calls a repairman !So, our washing machine broke today. Well, it didn't completely break, it just doesn't work at all on the wash cycles. It's fine on the rinse cycles!

No laws over 30 years ago. I'm 67 , since you haven't been here long, you may not know that. I was born in the 40's, so many things have changed. Thankfully, some as more disclosure, when buying a used house.I thought there are laws against building over landfills, or at the very least there's a remediation period?

Oh, I have a habit at looking at people's profiles, so I knew that. Yes, I'm very nosy, I admit it!
Forgot that you said 30 years, though. (Note: I also am a product of the "ditto paper" generation - in reference to this thread's early posts, although none of you will remember either!
