If you have something like craigslist there maybe you could look in there to see if there's someone who does odd jobs.

I bought it new 3 years ago, and it broke within the first year. And it's broken twice since then. The one I had before I had for over a decade and it was old when I got it and it worked fine except that it leaked about a cup of water when you ran it. My brother didn't like the leak so he complained to my dad and my dad made me buy a new one (which he paid for). I didn't want to get a new one because I didn't want to get stuck with something that didn't work. The new one has been a constant headache. When this one leaks, it leaks several liters. And you have to turn it off and leave it off because it leaks inside near the wires. You can't just mop up a bit of water every time you want to use it.

My dad gave us their old fridge about a year or so ago, too. He tried to convince me to get rid of my old fridge (which works fine) and I refused to. So I put the new fridge in my living room to use as a backup. Naturally, the new one doesn't work. Now I wish I'd kept my old washing machine, too.

The city won't empty the big containers with wheels here, so nobody has them except some of the businesses. Don't think I could get away with stealing one, since the closest one I can think of is about a 20 minute walk. Uphill. Through snow. But thanks for the suggestion.

For free?

I doubt for free but that is the only thing I can think of if you can't do it yourself and don't know anyone who will help.

Oh sounds like it could have been faulty or something if it broke so soon or just low quality but I think newer appliances do break sooner than old ones (and it's probably gotten worse over time.) Everything is lower quality now because they make new stuff constantly so they try to manufacture stuff as cheaply as possible. (So as a general rule nobody should replace old appliances unless they break unless they have enough money to be OK with replacing them constantly.)

We have those bins in most places here so that sucks I'm not sure if there's something else you could get that's not too expensive. I saw someone use a hydraulic lift but they seem expensive.

Ever had that thing where you ignore someone's message for a bit, then feel like messaging them back but at that point it's too late so you keep ignoring them? It sounds dumb, but that's been happening.

@Omni-slash

yeah that happens to me too. I think responding late is not worse than never responding.

Yeah, seems expensive, lol. I found out that an old chest that I have is just about exactly the same height as my washing machine when turned on one end, so I was able to pull the dryer off onto the end of the chest. No wheels, ofc, but I could slide it out of the way with a bit of effort. Not sure how long it will last, though, because the chest is pretty rickety. But I ended up being able to use your suggestion after all, so thanks.


Thanks, @WillYouStopDave . I got it figured out.

That's good hopefully it lasts long enough and doesn't break.

@truant

I can imagine that musta been a PITA. Our washer and dryer aren't stacked but I had to pull the dryer out one time to fix the vent hose and man, I never want to have to do that again! I also had to climb over the dryer once it was pulled out and squeeze myself backwards underneath a wire shelf that is above it and down between the back of the dryer and the wall in order to get to the hose. Plus it is a gas dryer and I have never done that before and had no idea if I was doing it right (the combustion fumes are obviously supposed to exit through the hose and not leak into the house).

I deserve so much better than the treatment I get from people.

At this point, its feeling like a Twilight Zone episode to where you stay inside for months in some virus proof bunker..only to walk out after the all-clear and get sick. Wouldn't that be ironic.

I have no clue the closest walk-in/urgent care clinic now from where I live is 30 minute drive away. Many of the ones that use to be much closer have all closed down within the past year apparently.

I'm kind of in limbo at the moment. The holiday season wasn't fun or restful. This year has started out crappy just like almost all of last year was. At the moment work is not busy but in my new position I'm honestly not sure what I should be doing in this downtime and am afraid to ask. My OCD is hitting hard; some of my "rituals" haven't been going right, but I'm also very lazy in trying to rectify the situation.

My mother's drunk and just yelled at the neighbours for their loud music. This is not doing my anxiety any good at all...

Edit: And she's just done it again, a day later. This time there was no music. This time they were talking too loud.

And this time? They definitely heard. Ffs. I need to get out of this house.

Suicide mention -



When I find the energy, I wonder if continuing a translation of the Book of Job I've found recently would help..

My brother is racist. It drives me mad. Now, I'm not the biggest racial advocate in the world but it just doesn't make sense to me that we were brought up in the same house yet he's a huge racist and I'm not. i hate his small minded views.

Lately, I'm trying to deal with my brother's suicide that happened last year. This is what's been making me severely depressed. I don't like to make people pity me so sometimes I'm just not in the mood to talk to others. Hate bringing people down, but I do miss talking to people from time to time. Isolating yourself can never be good for a long period of time.

My eyes keep getting irritated and hurt.

I kinda hate the holiday season in general. December 1st, everything switches and every radio station or supermarket starts playing Christmas carrolls. I just pray for them to end quickly. I am convinced that even if i had my own wife and kids and money and gifts and friends i would still be fed up with the holiday season or bored by the same dumb routines. I have been sleeping well the last 9 months since the coronavirus started but I still never really feel rested, after being awake 3 or 4 hours, i need another nap, freaking ridiculous.
