Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

I have come so far in almost 11 years. I thought I’d never get married or live again... I couldn’t be so wrong. Life is what you make of it. If you think it sucks, it’s going to.

So many people complain about this lockdown and all I can think about is people who are locked down for the rest of their life but have zero complaints. Not talking about criminals either... some people can’t even leave their homes.

Look at people who complain about their rights, but those who had no rights back in the day just took their lives day by day... zero complaints

I feel like we are a bunch of crybabies sometimes

For the last 10+ years 100% of our clients are special needs. Some are bed bound for the rest of their life, some are more lucky and get to use a wheel chair. Many are stuck inside their brain and can bearly verbalize anything....... So I can totally agree with seeing a lot of the 1st world "crybabies" any day of the week on the road or in the store.....or even in a forum or other more 'social' media platform.....

I am somebody who values all human life and I cannot get the concept of people thinking that medicine is just junk and doctors just hand out medication just because it’s there... A lot of medications prolong somebody’s life for a very long time, which to me is wonderful because everyone deserves a life whether it’s with medication or not.

I value a strangers life more than I value my own because that’s the way I was brought up to love everybody whether I don’t like their opinions or not, no matter if they vote for somebody I like or not... I really have a true value for human life and I cannot imagine telling somebody that they should live like an animal lives and just die...

I think I need to remove myself from this thread for the rest of the day. I am just having a hard time hearing that nobody should be on medications... my brother has Crohn’s disease and without his infusions he would be dead... my father was on life-support for a month after a doctor messed up on his colonoscopy... my aunt just got done with chemo... but none of them should have these meds... DISGUSTING is all I can say. I’m sorry guys I just can’t

Don't know/ can't tell. Somewhere under the bottom. And not every time. I had a guy come out and look at it once and after extensive examination he said repairs would be expensive and we'd be better off buying a new one. Something about a broken seal but he didn't really seem to be looking at the door gasket (it's a front loader). The thing doesn't wash real well, and the dishes don't dry, either. @featherhead007, we use the little gel pods but once a couple years ago when I wasn't home apparently we were out of them and my very helpful DD filled up the little cup with Dawn dishwashing liquid instead and bubbles poured out, blanketing the floor. I only heard about it recently and never knew why the thing didn't work right, it was fairly new at the time. You know how kids are, they can destroy an anvil. She is infamous for this kind of thing, lol. Using oven cleaner for furniture spray, turtle wax on windows, that sort of thing, when she was little.

Gearheaded g33k to the rescue (in my head)
1st thing I'd do it find the sticker with model & serial number
2nd search for "make" "model#" "seal" and see what that helps. Then I'd do the same search at duckduckgo and compare results from search's.
3rd I'd take the kick panel off (below the door) and check the level of the dishwasher & adjust the front feet the create a slight front rise above true level
4th start a wash with very few items and have a cup with vinegar in it so that the water will eventually flush the vinegar out by sprayed water jets at it.... This will clean the insides as well as allow to show the leaky spot(s).
5 use your imagination to solve the remainder of this "leak mystery" on your terms & timetable.

Sometimes the leak is obvious with water/soap/ mineral scum. As long as the point of origin is visible. Did we hear what make this dishwasher is?

True enought, my suggestion for vinegar was a form of mild sanitizing considering it's been said to of not been used in a long arse time. And no model/make info has been previously posted.

Yeah ok. I’m not a repair expert, I don’t even know why I’m commenting! My DH is amazing though and I feel sorry for people so I ask him questions and pass on info if I think it’s useful.

How this pandemic is affecting me .... Covid-19 HAIR! (I don't normally look like a mad scientist, really!)

So I gotta ask. Do you recall the sit-com "Alice" from the 80's? That hair style & color made me think of Flo from that series. She was an absolute hoot! (Hope you can appreciate the visual nugget)

DS has super long hair - down past his waist - and yes, that's son and waist! It's so curly that his ponytail only falls just past his shoulder blades. The jealousy-inducing part is that it falls naturally in tight sausage curls that would be the envy of every Victorian Era female ever born. They're certainly the envy of his sister! He's currently viewing some pretty impressive hairstyle changes. He wants to keep it "long," but even if he takes off a foot, he'll still have close to that much left! I really like the stylish looks he's considering, but I have to admit that I'll miss the long curls. He actually lets me play with them!
When he finally gets it "done," I'll be sure to get before and after pictures. I can post them ... then go hide and cry ... but just a little bit!

When I cut mine as an omage for Mom when she started chemo. I cut over a 12" long braid that reached my waist line.
