this was so funny...reminds me of how many times I've jerry rigged something, just to almost get it where I wanted it and then - pow - the whole stupid thing falls apart either on top of me or back to square one where I began. I was lol while reading this....yes $80 was worth it, but what kind of write off did you get for all that trouble? following you too. :)
No write off. Actually, the charity called off the pick up due to ‘unforeseeable circumstances’. I ended up giving the washer and the wood table to the son of a client of mine, who was driving one of those large vans that is stripped down inside - completely empty, and he had a friend with him. They were both extremely skinny, unhealthy looking in the face, and slovenly dressed. My impression was they were probably drug addicts and were going to sell the washer to go get a fix... Although, I doubt they could get much for it...
Appreciate your interest in my story...
I got to the end and wondered if charity would pick it up after the...um...accident. lol Thanks for the rest of the story. My teenager and his friends have helped me out many times, but it typically only got them a fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies! 😄
If I was less impulsive, a lot of the situations I get into would be less expensive... 🤠... To do the cookies idea, I would need to learn how to bake... Perhaps I should work on that.
Thanks for your post!
