We need to paint it before the washer and dryer arrive this week.

Take a look at your drier receptacle - easiest done now when there is no drier in front of it. Does it have 3 or 4 holes for the plug? I'll explain why I want to know when I see you next Saturday at our gathering.

Now to go back and read the 3 pages I skipped to post this. I missed a lot going to sleep early last night - y'all were very busy being PW's!

What Ozzie said. When I bought my dryer it didn't come with a power cord; I had to buy it separately. Knowing which kind of receptacle you have is a key part of that process.

What kind of washer and dryer did you get, Cathy? I'm a huge fan of my Whirlpool Duet (high efficiency) w/d combo. The washer is a front loader. The wash cycles are pretty long for normal clothes, but stuff comes out really clean.

One reason driers (dryers? both spellings are acceptable - why?) don't come with cords, which is where the male plug is, is because there is not a standard (female) receptacle put in by electricians. Older dwellings tend to have 3-hole receptacles, newer ones have 4-hole receptacles, and therefore need a mating plug, but that is not consistent. Usually they are rated at 30 amps. Occasionally an electrician will have 50 amp (stove/range) receptacles in their truck when wiring the house and he'll use one of those, just to add to the confusion. The difference is in how the house was wired at the panel - are the neutral and ground wires "bonded together" or are they separate leads. Old houses tend to have them bonded together and use 3 wire systems, while newer abodes will have separate grounds and neutrals, but that depends on local codes, too.

Wiring 102 class is now over (for the moment).

Looks like we'll be hitting 5000 today. Over a thousand posts in less than a week. Deeeeaaammn.

Okay, nobody better EVER give me a razzing for being a PW again, or I'm bringing up the great Cathy post off of August 8th, 2009. Cough...cough one of my favorite posters. ;) That display by Cathy would have taken me one, maybe two posts. It was definitely impressive. I just don't think like that. See my post of emoticons for example. I COULD have gotten a post for every emoticon, but did I? Heck no! ;)

You do realize you could've gotten about 8 posts out of this, right? ;)

Um, re-read. I've gotten two, now three posts out of this. DD has gotten 6. If the VERY last thing in the post isn't a , I didn't write it.

Oh, wait, my bad. I missed the "could've" in there. I thought you said I DID get. But see, that's my point. Everybody CALLS me such a PW, but I don't do that kind of stuff.

See, I just used "edit" to fix what I wrote wrong. If I were DD, I would have gone in and added another post to fix my mistake and ended up with two, maybe three posts out of it. ;)

Seven. ;)

Brother-in-law is driving and will take luggage with him - so need to be packed for early Monday departure.

Is your brother-in-law a Queen PW like mine is? ;)

Just passin' through...

I DO use the edit button and do NOT post again when I catch my mistakes and proof my posts 2-3 times before submitting.

BTW, that's eight now. ;)

How long will it be before my gut flora converts back to my American diet?

All I can say is...

For your sake (and also for ILJ), hopefully sooner rather than later.

I suppose that beer would be helpful in returning my gut flora back to normal.

OH GREAT... I now expect a 10 post/5 word total response from devildeac. ;)

Yes

How's that? :roll:

Hmmm ... wonder what beer would be best for that? (paging devildeac, devildeac to the LTE)

A summer wheat beer might be nice.

Festina Peche might work, too.

Maybe we need some ratings more in line with those that are used for academic journals. For those not in the know, scientific journals are ranked by impact factor. That's probably true in other disciplines as well. One of the criteria is number of people who cite articles from the journal. Wonder what would happen to our poster rankings if they were suddenly changed to reflect, not only the number of posts, but the number of times a particular poster was cited?

How about what happened when devildeac cited three of his own posts?

Self-citation shouldn't count.

Yet ANOTHER contribution to the ArkieDukie impact factor.

Just trying to quote reputable sources... :oops: :roll:

[devildeac]

Quality over volume?

That doesn't fit into the PW playbook.

Is that a reportable/bannable offense? :roll:

There was an ABBA song that had similar lyrics.

ARRGGHH!

I believe the proper 3 syllable spelling and pronunciation of that word word be: daaayaaammnn

While at Tyler's on Friday night, I (and DukePA's Mom) sampled a wheat beer. I thought it had less flavor than the Miller High Life and Miller Lite that I drank. DPAM turned up her nose at it.
