        I fixed my stupid dishwasher.

        It was very satisfying.

        Stupid dishwasher.

        love that perfect frown

          I support you as a person but I can’t bring myself to upvote this.

          WORK PEOPLE?

          OUTSIDE?

          ON WEEKEND?

            @Tez 🤣 I know. It’s crazy. We’re going to get pastries though and talk about non-work stuff! Probably. Who knows!

                My husband just came in and told me there was a new stoplight going up just outside our neighborhood, which we enthusiastically chattered about for a minute or so (because we need it!).

                My 8yo son, sarcastic: “Yay, a new stoplight.”

                Me: “This is what happens when you grow up.”

                  I poured a cup of baking soda down my bathtub drain and now my bathtub drains again.

                  I have conquered … whatever gunk was slowing it up. Mighty am I.

                  let it be a challenge to you

                    My dishwasher was throwing up an error and refusing to drain. I put it up on blocks like one would a car, and disassembled the lower portion to get access to the flood switch. Disabled the switch, drained and rebuilt the filter/pump section, and now it works again.

                    I know this is only a temporary stop gap, but it feels good to fix something.

                      FYI: If it ever gets really bad, a drain snake is all of about $25 at Lowe’s and that is much cheaper than calling a plumber. It’s also easy! And very gross.

                        I had not truly stared into the abyss until I snaked the drain.

                        Wear gloves, a mask (trust me), and have the trash bin right nearby so you can fling it out the door as soon as possible.

                          I navigated a very busy downtownish area/parking garage on my lunch break without panicking \o/
