Did somebody get married? I missed it! Do tell!

BTW, I would be shocked if I walked into any Home Improvement store and they really had any idea of what in the hell they were talking about! I have to find my *one* guy if I have a plumbing question. All the others don't know their ass from a hole in the ground! I would love it if they hired knowledgeable people in all departments.

 

[johnb300m]

Well I just applied to Lowe's today........hopefully i'll get the job. I've dabbled in everything from plumbing to lawn/garden, electrical to appliances. i'm not really a specialist, but i know a bit about it all.

Best of Luck

Hi, John. I'm sure you'll have no problem getting the job. If not, they didn't desereve to have you as an employee.....Bill in Az.....

Attn. Bill

No s**t! As in boy meets girl on automaticwasher.org, boy and girl hit it off, they fall in love and get married? That would be interesting. By the way, I'm heterosexual and in the market.
THC's should really be a nominal issue, but then again I would legalize weed if I could.
One more thing, do you really use an insulin pump?

 

[Maytagmom]

Oooooh, nevermind.

I would get in way too deep....

Baiting the Hook

Maybe, if you're looking to hook some one here, you should think about your group name.

Oh, mom, I just met the most amazing knitwhit. Can I marry him?

insulin pump

Hi, Jason. I've used the pump for 4 yrs now. No more insulin shots!!!! I'ts the size of a pager and connects to you with a tubing that is taped to your skin. I'm 40 now and was blessed with diabestes when I was 22. Yes, as I take a bow. You can see pics and find out everything about the pump and diabetes at Insulin pumpers.org.....Bill in Az.....

 

[knitwits1975]

Hi Bill. I have diabetes too, but so far am doing all right with medications.
Hi Kelly. I thought my screen name was kind of clever, do I stand corrected?

 

[mixfinder]

Names

Far be it from me offer suggestions.

It took me 55 years to find the "one"

I wouldn't change your name one whit!

[knitwits1975]

It's all good Kelly, no harm no foul. I guess knitwits does sound a little goofy.

 

[knitwits1975]

Your "Amazing Knitwit" comment actually tickled the funny bone.

Re. why so many of us here are gay:

Western cultures have a weird attitude about machines. If a machine is used outside the house, it's for men. If a machine is used inside the house, it's for women.

However, guys being guys, are just naturally interested in machines, and if left to their own devices (ha), wouldn't care whether a machine is inside the house or outside. Except that for most (straight) guys, the arbitrary distinction between "indoor" and "outdoor" stands in the way. (Just as it was for women and heavy construction equipment until recently.)

But gay men have already had to overcome a bunch of arbitrary social programming & prejudice about how men are supposed to be, when it comes to the question of falling in love. So that makes us more likely to challenege other types of arbitrary social programming about how men are supposed to be. The result of the latter is that we don't care if a machine is indoors or outdoors, or which gender is supposed to like playing with which machines.

So, of all the guys out there who are interested in the indoor machines, the gay ones are more likely to speak up about it.

But you can be sure there are a lot of straight guys out there who have similar interests. And kudos to the straight guys & gals who hang out here, having overcome the silly social nonsense about indoor machines vs. outdoor machines, without having to deal with the trials & tribulations of being a persecuted minority.

BTW, RickR, your grandma has an Automatic Electric type 40 Monophone on the table there.

'mo world

Wow, I could not comprehend that last paragraph, but being a straight guy in a world of 'mos, I accept your kudos!

Old phone

Thanks for the info on great grandmas old phone, Designgeek. I could tell it was a bakelite type,but that was all I knew. Can recall the pattern in the rug also. If you look at the toe areas of my shoes,you can tell that I was crawling,and not walking at that this point. Great Grandma Clara was also holding me up from the back,and my older brother Greg had me from the side. Meanwhile,I was trying to crawl to Brokeback Mountain..... LOL!!

 

[frigilux]

rick-- What a great photo; You were a cutie even as a crawler.

In short, I second everyone else's opinion. I LOVE AW.ORG!

And Jason, it ain't just the agitator; it's the motion.

 

[mickeyd]

I always thought it must be the hoses and the pumps and the sucking and the gushing. I just made that up, because I'm clueless about the phenomenon, having found out about it only a few months age.

You all know that most large universities offer a gay studies major. I wish someone would do a dissertation--that's the infamous 150 page term paper you have to do to get a PhD. Thousands or hundreds of interviews, analysis, interpretation, common threads, etc---WAIT A SECOND--we could do it right here.

WHAT IS THE CONNECTION BETWEEN BEING GAY AND LOVING WASHING MACHINES? They would not word it that way but who cares.

There's a lot of money here, guys and gals. If AWORG puts out a book imagine all the machines we could buy and restore from the millions we'd make.

What is the connection then; please answer!

 

[toggleswitch]

..and you thought i was simply a sharp tongue, dirty mind an

Maybe we use the blue towel much more than most and like/need to get rid of the evidence.

Easy. Catch this. We use the masculine energy to fix and restore. Use feminine energy to actually care for, and nurture, amd run a house by doing laundry.

We are complete and whole within ouselves by having and allowing both masuline and feminine energies to flow freely to and be on-tap. An attempt to complete ourselves via getting the other side of the component of the necessary ying-yang energy from another person is not necessary.

In summary, after breaking society's biggest rule, the rest, like proudly doing laundry come easier.

 

[toggleswitch]

I am so full of Sh^% I scare myself. LOL ROFL LMAO

 

[mixfinder]

The Full Meal Deal!

That's what you are, Toggles! Can I super size you?
Meant as the highest and greatest compliment, I can bestow.
Imagine, you are funny, filthy, intelligent, intuitive, insightful and a nurturer. If you are good looking too, you are the ideal of every gay man living.

You (or a plastic surgeon) may have to with my SHORT-comings!
