In summary: Kitten : ^ I like her. ^ 4) @Loki : He seems... well, Loki. 5) @Nyx : I don't know, she just seems... strange. 6) @Pixalate : She seems nice enough.In summary, Drakkith has already initiated a post on this, but I wanted to ask this again:How do you visualise a PF member when you interact with them? Do you see them as their avatars? What if they don't have one? Do you visualise them by their names? What if their names and av

Did it give you a computer code ?
maybe post the symptoms in EE forum...?

we ought to have a DIY forum for home appliance repairs.

No, it didn't. There's only a red light with the icon of a wrench
This happened when the program was set to 95 degrees C and it was very hot so maybe it was short circuit (vocab?).
I'll go to the shop were it was bought and ask about repair. Though sometimes repair is almost as expensive as a new machine.

Check your instruction manual to see if there's a button that'll make it give you a trouble code.

Then try a search on (brand of washer) (that trouble code)

A real common trouble with these fancy new ones is failure to drain because of clogged filter.
Filter is behind a panel that comes off with just a few screws, you'll find a youtube from somebody who's done it on your type machine. Be aware Whirlpool, Kitchenaid, Maytag, and a couple others all come off same assembly line.
Mine had a ball point pen refill, several bobby pins, some coins, a thin sock and yarn in it.

Good luck, i hope it's something that simple

Is that why I can't remember what you look like?
Because you forgot both your teeth and hat that day?
:H

ps. I would blame it on senility, but, IMHO, I've overused that excuse... :redface:
 
  • #45
Wow. Total senility Om! :biggrin: I had my teeth IN that day... but no HAT! Now... MY senility is doing OK. I remember you. :eek:

I have it. I hate this new forum software, you can't attach an image, it has to be hosted somewhere else.

@Evo - I must confess I was terrified of this member when I first came here

No need to fear this mentor, Evo uses pretty sound judgment, I had a friendly conversation going on about the world clock and Armageddon, that was taken of topic and went in a direction I didn't intend for it to go, (I do not really like politics even though I had a 4.0 in political science) it got political, so the thread was cut. When you get people together that have strong opinions and can put up an intelligent argument either way the conversation goes, it helps to have a referee that can step in. Otherwise it can descend into chaos. JMHO. Other mentors will slap a warning on you in heartbeat even if they know your argument is sound logical and even factual. If you can't post peer reviewed papers or articles of study from an (accepted) source that support your point of view you will get a warning and it counts against you.

I picture people based on their avatar and name.
 
  • #57
I identify members by their avatar, I don't necessarily picture them at all. I picked my avatar because it reminded me of a group having a discussion.

Your face is in your avatar, I remember also having seen your picture taken with Greg some time ago. I have a facebook Australian friend whose brother's kids or nephews take after you in the avatar very much :biggrin:. They look very beautiful.
Edit to add an image.

Will you still love me if you see me like that ?
People only sound real and cute via their monitor screens or chat boards but in face-to-face meetings what they act and say might be disheartening. :frown:

True! Better use our imagination to create a wonderful fantasy world of avatars. It's a safe refuge for us introverts :)

Oh Woolie...Honey...that picture is about 200 years old! Don't you remember she used it back in 2003? By now she's all fat and lumpy, running around in her housecoat and fuzzy slippers, curlers in her hair and a cigarette hanging out of her mouth...kinda like a fat Maxine. :biggrin:

It was the first picture that was labeled "me". Of course all pictures on my computer are old. :biggrin:

Thanks, Silicon , but I'm much more homely in person.
do you remember "The Clovers" from 1959?

i've been this way since 1956.."
