This morning the light bulb at the entrance to my apt was out of service. I decided to modernize and instead of a plain incandescent bulb, I bought a LED type one. The former would cost me around a hundred yen which is around a dollar. In the name of modernization, I paid around 1,500 yen. Not sure if I'm going to save on electricity or it would last longer than 2 yrs. But I like the brightness it gives to the entrance. Anew kind of brightness for the coming New Year. A prosperous New Year to everyone!! Another advanced greetings!!

I fight with my phone because it tries to put words different than what I'm thinking.
That was a struggle to say and the rest of this blog will be totally predictive text.

Sunday morning at the age of the United states and the United states and the United nations United nations meeting in Miami this week in the United kingdom Delray police department was the only place where did it come from being late in life and the situation was not immediately clear but the decision to leave the country alone would have prevented him from taking his own trip with the government and he would have been a little less concerned about the possibility of an attack on the country and a few other people who had a problem with his actions as well as the military or the government in the past to be fueled by the association between shit from the war or the military in Iraq to the client of the page and how to get the president to be fueled with a serviceman and the other side by the way he was in the middle of the war.



Google, WTF are you thinking?

One of my requirements of buying a condo is it had to have a washer & dryer within the unit. I shopped some communities where they had one laundry room at the end of the hallway serving all the occupants of that floor. That could be 10 apartments to use 2 washers.
Are you serious? I shower daily and use a clean towel every time. I don't wear the same jeans 6 days in a row. Laundry is serious business with me and has as long as I can remember.
Some townhouses in this area have a laundry room for every 6 units. You have to carry laundry outside of your unit... rain or shine. That doesn't work for me as Laundry often gets done anywhere in a 24 hour schedule and sometimes dry clothes stay in the dryer until wet clothes need to be dried.
I inquired with one association about installing a laundry in my own unit and told no, it's in violation of their rules and I will be fined for doing so. That includes the mini-euro styles.

The washer & dryer combo in the place I bought was old and I suspected it wouldn't take long before needing replacement. I was right and purchased a large capacity washer & dryer pair manufactured by Samsung.
Going with trends, it was an HE model washer with impeller and not the older style agitator.
Nearly three years later, (knowing what I know now) I would not buy Samsung, HE or one with an impeller.

What I'm experiencing is the spin cycle shakes violently and the machine stops. There are sensors that detect an imbalanced load and magically compensate the rotation to stop the shaking. That ain't happening here...
Sometimes the washer resets and does another fill cycle as it's programmed that way to re-balance the load... that wastes water, electricity and more importantly time. It shouldn't take 3 hours to wash a dozen towels.

I phoned customer support at Samsung and they 'walked me through' the calibration sequence for the spin cycle sensors. Better? yeah, maybe 10% better. I washed shirts, socks and underwear and it only stopped a few times. I redistributed the load each time and continued. The spin cycle with 12 minutes remaining jumps to 25 minutes when you restart it. Bastards...
Next week, I'll call Samsung again. If it requires a technician and a service call... so be it.


I don't remember this happening with the old style washer where you turn the dial (that clicked) showing all the settings.

How is it my sent mailbox is empty?

How does this occur?

Not all of them, just certain ones.

Yes, the person(s) they went to are still here.

Anyone else ever experience this?

I am talking about my Outbox only, not my Inbox.

Would it not be beneficial to all parties, Connecting Singles and Members, if Connecting Singles would incorporate an app similar to Zello to replace the Chatroom?

Would it not help to make it so much easier discerning between a scammer and a true potential match?

Hope this idea/suggestion does not cause too much discord among the scammers who have free reign.

Relax its weekend.


XXXXX is a free walkie-talkie app for smartphones, tablets, laptops and desktop computers. The app requires an Internet connection to work properly, whether it’s through Wi-Fi or a mobile data network. Unlike the standard calls you can make on the device of your choice, Zello connects you to fellow users and radio channels where large groups can talk regardless of distance.
