The front wheel hub looks large. Izzat a generator hub?

Where people from New Hamster get a tax screwing is if one spouse works in Maine but they live in New Hamster, their entire income is taxed in Maine. They are taxed on income form the spouse who may never even set foot in the State of Maine.

The tax paid is a tax credit in their resident state, but New Hampshire has no state tax so they're screwed.

This works ok in States that have a State tax like Maine and Massachucets.

Do you equate spirituality to sky fairies? I don't.

Spirituality is doing the right thing when nobody is looking.

I had a riding lawnmower that needed a brake caliper.

Simple enough to look up the part number and order it through Sears Parts Direct.

A week or two goes by and I get a package from SPD that contained a plastic bag with a sticker on it with the correct part number and description. The bag had been torn open and had some part in it that was a bracket for something.

I e-mailed them to explain the problem. I included pictures of the correct, worn part and the part they sent me and got no response. A few more e-mails also got no response.

A call to some Sears corporate office did get a response.

I was told that a part had been sent.

End of response.

A few weeks later, somebody called me and apologized about seven different ways, saying that they really dropped the ball on this one and asked if I would give him a chance to make it right. He said that he would send me a prepaid package to ship the wrong part back to him and he would make it right.

A short while later, I did get a pre-paid mailer and I sent the part back with all the appropriate information.

This happened years ago. I'm still waiting for the correct part, or my money back.

Fuck Sears Parts Direct and every asshole who ever worked there.

I made a brake caliper.

In 1989, I lived on St. Georges Ave, a few doors down from Bachman's tavern. Hi neighbor.

My daughter is very handy. Three times in the last two years she called me to walk her through the repair of her Samsung dryer. Once the drive belt flipped. Once the heating element failed. Last week the belt tensioner failed. Fortunately she is able to do the repairs or she would have had to pay at least as much in repairs as the machine cost.

She too said that she'll never buy anything Samsung again...well, except, maybe their phones. They're boss.

We bought a new washer and dryer last year. After showing us a bunch of machines, I asked the sales person what the difference was between some brand of machine and a Speed Queen. He said that all the machines in the store are ten year machines except the Speed Queen machines. The Speed Queen machines are twenty-five year machines. We went with the Speed Queen.
