Running a free appliance repair website, I get many questions that come up over and over again. To cut down on the amount of time I spend answering redundant questions, I’ve prepared this list of Frequently Asked Questions, which will be updated as conditions warrant.

Q. My washer takes forever to fill up. [...]

Live Help Schedule for Sunday, July 7, 2002
Susan and Ivey are both now the proud recipients of that bio-engineered terrorist designer flu raging throughout New England like a Colorado wildfire. Normally, we’d all be at church for Divine Liturgy. But, in order to more fully attend to their every need in this, their [...]

If you can’t even find your model number, you have no business trying to fix it yourself.

Live Help Schedule for Saturday, July 6, 2002
I’ll be online this evening after about 1700 hrs (New Hampster time) and I should be steadily available for live up ’till about 2300 hrs. Later.

My dog bit my penis. Really. It wasn’t anything vicious or perverted; nothing as interesting as that. When we were playing tug yesterday, Ouzo, my German Shepherd, re-positioned his canine death-grip and, in doing so, accidentally included the business end of my manhood in his bite. I screamed. Really loud. [...]

Here’s the real power of the internet: gubmints can’t keep their cows from grazing at other fields. The current wars and rumors of wars, for example, are reported in a whole different light in the UK press than they are here. This article from the UK’s Mirror neatly ties together [...]

Can someone explain to me how a whacked-out, New Age beeotch, with a major case o’ da red-ass, can use aroma therapy to diagnose her refrigerator compressor? Ok, another one for the freak gallery.

Yay, Blogger is squared away again!

It’s Blogger’s turn to have a bad hair day. First the template server went down so I couldn’t make any changes to how this page looks. Then, it seemed like they got it running, you paste in your new template, publish it, no error messages…but nothing changes on the page. I think [...]

I was going to post something patriotic for the 4th of July but this dude said it better than I ever could.

Ouzo and I hiked the Newbury Trail up Mt. Sunapee yesterday. It was a short hike, as you can see on the linked topo map. But the blistering heat and near saturated humidity made this hike tougher than it would otherwise be. Within 10 minutes of starting out, my shirt was completely [...]

I got this summer flu that’s making its way around the northeast corridor. It’s really a bio-engineered terrorist designer disease, but I didn’t want to reveal that for fear of causing a panic so forget I said that. When I feel strong enough to stand at the computer, I’ll be either on-line for [...]

Turn away when spitting lest your saliva fall on someone. If anything purulent falls on the ground, it should be trodden upon, lest it nauseate someone.

To lick greasy fingers or to wipe them on your coat is impolite. It is better to use a tablecloth or the serviette.

Some people put their hands in [...]

I’m off to the mountains for a few days for a little self-imposed exile. Maybe recharge the batteries, too. I MAY update this page from a public computer at one of the AMC hostels. In the meantime, jam on the coolest home-grown Athens band from my undergrad days at UGA: Pylon.

Ok, big decision at the Brown House: we will no longer thrash our kids brutally about the thighs and buttocks with a 2 ft. length of PVC pipe. No, they’re old enough now that we can use guilt trips, instead. Just wanted to share the love, yo.
