Does a condom make a sound if it breaks?  That would be an awful sound to hear.

  I'm sure I don't know.  I have no experience in such things.  :angel:

The sound my washer made two days ago before it died.

Something between a loud squeal, a scream, and a grinding noise as it tried to agitate and spin at the same time. (tranny went)

  So now you have to go to a laundromat?  Pain in the pantaloons.  :thumbdn:

Got a reconditioned Maytag the next day, with a glass lid...the cats are intrigued.

Unfortunately it had an issue last night on the final load, and I think has a bad water temp sensor, it sprayed water on the clothes after it got done with the final spin...set it to spin again and it did it again...set it to spin on another cycle, and it finally stopped pissing on the clothes so I could get them in the dryer.  :roar:

10 washers to pick from and I got the retarded one.

Putting it though it's paces again today to see if it repeats the process and I need to call for a part...30 day warranty thankfully.

  Spinning and spraying and spinning  :vortex2: and spraying and spinning ...


    So basically you got the appliance version of a Charlie-In-The-Box!   :rofl:

  Yesterday, someone in my building was singing and playing "Muskrat Love" on
  acoustic guitar.  "Muskrat Love."  Voluntarily.  That's almost as scary as the mouse noises.  :tinfoil: :laugh:


Mouse problems?  (yes, every fall they find their way in at our house, too, but my cat takes care of things. She always leaves something to clean up, but at least she takes them to her eating area when she is done torturing them to death.)

All this talk about cats and I have to ask, Do you NOT have a cat?

If you hate cats, I have "friends" who swear that a ferret is a more effective mouse predator than multiple cats.

Maybe you should get a ferret.

  It's a no-pets building.  The only "pets" are the mice, though since I cleaned up my apartment, there's been
   little evidence of them.  I never saw one in this building in almost 17 years living here, till last September.  :-\


Sorry, I sometimes forget that not everyone owns their own private residence.

Kind of a mystery in that those horrors have just recently shown up.

In the garage I use these "heartful," "Kind Killing," "more humane" traps, because my cat is the world's biggest 'fraidy cat. SHe will not go outside unless coaxed and then stays right at my feet and follows me in when I go.

You just set these traps where they travel and they wander in for the false bait and starve to death over the next few days or you can check them more often and when you catch one of the little buggers, just reach in with pliers and squish its ass, clean out the trap and reset it.
Unfortunately I do not only capture mice. I have caught baby 'possums, large rats, chipmunks and even once a kitten. I was lucky enough to let the kitten out in time, but as far as those awesomely cute little chipmunks go, I consider them even more destructive than mice or even rats. I let them go to hell.

You might look into those humane traps, since you can not keep an animal predator in your house.

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

  Recently I heard a fight in my apartment building.  Two young guys were arguing, voices were raised,
  curses were shouted, and then there was a scuffle and a few thuds.  Someone else was yelling "Stop!"
  The fight did in fact stop, and I think one of the combatants just left the building.  Good thing.  :police:
