Things that frustrate us all

In the ongoing saga of my appliances, the dishwasher is now not washing the dishes. I have a call out for a repair tech, but the earliest appointment they have is for Wednesday. Guess who is handwashing the dishes?
How old is the dishwasher? Is the problem that it won't turn on at all or is it that the sprayers aren't getting the dishes wet enough?

Being a bachelor, I really don't mind handwashing the dishes. I have a double sink, one side I have the soapy water, the other side for rinsing and towel drying, then a rack to put the plates on.
My family and I handwash. It's good team work.
Couldn't watch today's Liverpool match 'cos Peacock didn't carry the game.

On the topic of Fa cup football in England, disgusting scenes at West Brom vs Wolves, match had to be suspended for 38 minutes because of crowd trouble.
I go to football myself and never understand the aggression some so called fans have in them.

One of the neighbor kids has starting hanging around with his friends in front of our house, and have even been coming up onto our property. The first time I noticed them, one of them was walking down our driveway away from our garage, and a guy who came lives across the street come over yesterday and said that he saw him stomping on our golden barrel cactus. We also keep finding garbage in front of our house, so we're assuming that's also from them.
According to one of the other neighbors, he has "anger issues", so we're a little nervous about complaining to his mother, since we don't know how he might retaliate if we do.

Post a no trespassing sign and then call the police.
It's almost 8 years old. It turns on. The dishes weren't clean after the usual cycle, and the detergent wasn't dissolved, so I ran it again. It wasn't any better. Hopefully, the repairman will be able to fix its issues.
I don't usually mind handwashing. I turn on some Trek and watch/listen to an episode while I work. I mind having to handwash, if that makes sense.
Sounds like a blocked hose or sprayer arm. Make sure the repair person also checks the hose coming into the machine. With any luck, it's just one of those things, which are a pretty easy and cheap (ish) fix.
Mom has had that problem a few times b/c her area has certain minerals in the water that cause a lot of build up.
Thanks, @auntiehill . I will have him check those things. I really don't want to replace another appliance so soon.
Speaking of appliances, I was at Costco today and they were selling a grill which had wi-fi.
A GRILL WITH WIFI.
WHAT.
THE.
FUCK.
Could somebody tell me why exactly the hell a GRILL would need wi-fi?
That makes even less sense than having a garage door opener with wi-fi!

That was some nasty shit right there. Apparently it all started just because a Wolves fan showed up in the home stand.

Football is very strange and tribal, to the point of hatred at times. Banter is good fun but it goes beyond that far too often.
Monitoring temperature and doneness. My friend has one for his smoker. He can adjust the temp as needed while at work.Speaking of appliances, I was at Costco today and they were selling a grill which had wi-fi.

So awhile back Amazon Music got added as a free addition to Prime.
Apparently, at some point, it stopped being free. But they charged the same amount as Prime to the penny for it two weeks from the main Prime charge, under the name "Amazon Prime". So I just never noticed.
I found out about it today because I've been tracking my spending to the penny to work out a new budget in my new house and reached out to amazon about the double charge.
I must not be the only one to have this issue as they immediately offered to refund me all the music charges saying "it was an accident" without me even asking.
So if you have prime, check your credit cards.

We might if they keep it up. Last year my mom spent $1,000+ on a new Ocotillo that she had planted in the front yard, and she said if they touch that she's definitely calling the cops.
