I burst out laughing (foaming at the mouth--saliva, drool splashing on the floor, almost hitting the laundry I was taking out of my dryer) when I thought about the very old Kenmore that one of my child-hood friends had (next to a newer one-knob Kenmore washer--now thinking about THAT should'a been what had me ROTF!) that had a small incandescent console appliance light, bigger than a night-light bulb over the big Timer/Automatic Drying knob, that probably didn't work; wonder what the original washer to that even was--both got replaced by VERY BOL Mont. Ward machines--yeeh, why wasn't I gassed up over the thought of those?!
Out of nowhere--my friend said "We need a new dryer, referring to that one in his laundry room--and I forgot where we were, maybe in school--a study hall, as we were a couple grades apart, him in 6th grade, beginning middle school, and me, in 8th, leaving for high school--and we became friends w/ not only him, living on the next block from me, but coming over apologizing for hurting my li'l sis' in school (they were in the same class--he was just teasing her, actually)...
Just being really thankful, I guess, for having good, newish, working (as well as Repairable) Appliances!!!!
