so our dryer was on the verge of dying now for almost a year - my husband has been keeping it going by shoving a sock up in the drum where the insulation strip fell out -- this thing makes the most horrid noise unless that damn sock is shoved up there just right - which seems only he can manage... but he has kept on manuvering it to make the dryer last --- well last night it had its last tumble -- it was full of wet clothes and the washer full too of wet clothes and it just said nope aint gunna do it --- so we literally went to Lowe's bargained for a floor model that we wanted instead of waiting a week for delivery - hello wet clothes on deck --- we hauled her home - unhooked - rehooked and whala! New dryer in exactly an hour!!!!!!!!!! I felt like the appliance couple rock stars!!!!!!! I remember my dad and step-mom almost filing divorce papers the last time they bought a major appliance hehehehehe --- do you and your S/O just have kick ass chemistry when it comes to handling stuff around the house or do you duke it out????

it is usually my husband pickin gout some pretty kick ass stuff lol.
I gave up a long time ago because I got for the deals but he has to have the best of every thing so I just go with it now lol my as well not worth fighting about and we get nice stuff lol
we bought a cheap ass Roper brand but had a nice capacity and under 400 bucks with my son's Lowe's family discount and the small discount for it being a floor model --- i feel like i scored -- the reviews were 95% posative so feel like we got a smoking deal --- i love that it has simple controls cause my kids do their own stuff -- turn knob and push to start -- no bells or whistles!!!! just dry my damn shit quick kinda deal :)
it was actually over a damn dish washer -- she wanted some high end kind that could dissolve a cake (just like in the commercial) and he was like - that has more options and controls than my damn car we ain't taking out a loan to wash dishes woman --- i swear it was nothing short of comical --- cause he could afford a dish washer on the space station but is just a cheap old bird -- love him!!!!
Quoting Anonymous:
We bought a new screen door the other day. We disagreed over the color for a minute, but I don't see how an appliance could cause a divorce ! Lol

I'm the fixer in the house - his attitude is "Oh, it died. Guess we'll go without until we have $ for a new one." I will tear into darn near anything to see if I can fix it....LOL
