morning everybody---another cool morning giving way to sunshine in a bit---got a couple in house issues to tend to today

clothes dryer is not getting hot or self turning off---any suggestions?

water pressure on a hose bib has decreased tremendously---think this might becoming calcified---we'll see

 

[SmokinMom]

Bummer about the dryer. We've had both issues and it was due to 2 separate problems. Our dryer stopped turning itself off when I broke the switch by turning it counter clockwise.

Then it started to not getting hot for me. But it got hot for everyone else...lol. Seriously though, it would only heat about 1/4 of the time...never really figured it out and I was so frustrated. I wanted a reliable dryer. We just replaced it with a new one.

Sorry I'm not very helpful.

:bong2: It Up , my mp peeps. Feels like a wee bit o the gout but took my cherry pill extra early today to help. It's very minor but I can't use my pain meds else it just exacerbates the pain.

Either filter plugged or plugged outlet line, maybe?

 

[Rosebud]

Have you cleaned your ducks, i mean ducts, i mean dryer vents?

7G, your pain meds makes it worse? I am glad you can smoke. I hear that is so painful, ground glass and all.

 

[orangesunshine]

thanks for the input---looked online for a bit at repair issues instead of a growing site :giggle: ---gonna check the heating element, pilot light, timer, ducting,

 

[7greeneyes]

yup, but I started taking cherry pills and the symptoms had gone away(for bout last four months) but I was dumb last night and ate almost a whole can of gabanzo beans with my burrito's as well as ice cream after, both of which are big gout triggers.:doh: This i did right before bed (not supposed to eat 4 hrs. before you got to bed anyways ) along w/ the ice cream and this morning woke with a very slight case of it.

I really think the cherry pills are working. I highly suggest ppl take them if they are prone to gout flareups.

BIU like madmen, MP:bong2:

Hubby has gout in his big toe. He eats an apple and 1/2 a cucumber in his lunch every day, along with a bottle of pure apple juice. (high in malic acid like the cherries), hasn't had an outbreak in over a year. All berries are also good, especially strawberries and blackberries.

The "cherry pills" are good, but all natural malic acid from the food you eat every day will break down those uric crystals in the joints must quicker than what's processed in the pill.

You should also stay away from all sodas, which cause increased uric acid production in the body, which in turn become the crystals.

 

[7greeneyes]

yeah I'm a tea drinker or water drinker mostly. Alot of real juice, not like HI-C...lol...

thanks for sharing Melvan.

 

[Kupunakane]

Hey,

Thanks heaps Melvan.

I too suffer from Gout.

Kinda weird, but I get it in the thumbs, just like my diabetes didn't hit my feet, but instead nailed my thumbs, forefingers, and the middle fingers too.

Separate nerve banks I'm told.

The Dr. never said a word about Malic Acid, or even stay away from the sodas. Sheeesh, if it wasn't for my friends I would already be dead.

Much appreciated

smoke in peace

Hey Duck, what quacking? Glad to see ya down there...BIU!

 

[SmokinMom]

Do y'all remember the big chemical plant explosion that killed 13 ppl, injured many more and devastated neighborhoods in the town of West, Texas? It happened during the time of the Boston marathon bombings so I'm not sure if there was much coverage for ppl outside of Texas..

My son drove thru West today and said it was pretty much destroyed and hard to look at. Such a horrible tragedy. I know I have distant relatives there as its a big Czech town.

On a happier note, on the way back from my sons dentist we stopped at Starbucks.

 

[SmokinMom]

I'm so emotional right now and bawling like a baby...over something I'm happy about and I know y'all don't really care, but......

My son gets the same teacher for 4th grade that he had for 2nd grade. She was so good with him and he adored her. . He's not your average kid and it makes me feel better that he will have a teacher who he already knows. She runs a tight ship and doesn't put up with any nonsense. We love her.

I'm such a dork.

I need to go medicate and relax..lol.

 

[Rosebud]

That is awesome Sm, i know how important your child's teacher can be at that age... Congrats.. celebrate.
