Not The Eric Stewart You Are Looking For: Episode X

Occasionally, I get emails intended for ANOTHER Eric Stewart. How do you handle these incidents? What should I do the next time I get one of these? From: Random Lady Subject: Drama Queen Hi Stew, I'm doing ok... I can still feel I am crazy, but hopefully can pull it together. Just had a meeting with my new boss and things seemed to go well, I think I am nervous but excited. Should have called out, I'm doing nothing.         Somethings I'd like you  to ponder: Can you make either wedding? 6/6 or 6/20 - I think I am pushing for 6/20 (Random Lady's Friends Name)...

This is why we can't have nice things

This weekend, after our trip to Wilmington, there was laundry to be done. We loaded the washing machine and then headed out to the grocery store, as that was also a priority. Upon returning home the washing machine was still going. It has long been a joke that our washer and dryer work on "Gina Minutes" in which a minute is actually much longer than 60 seconds. The display showed "15" minutes remaining. Twenty-five minutes later the display read "5" minutes. Finally, when the washer was  done, there was an error code of "F 21." Looking on the internet I found this video After watching I opened our lint trap to clean it hoping to clear the error and return the washing machine back to a normal working state. It should be known that we live in a household of six. The kids are now aged ten, thirteen, thirteen and fourteen. You can imagine some of the things that were found in the lint trap.
