Murphy's Law and Bluegrass*~*

  
 At this point in my life I should have already learned the lesson of Murphy’s Law.
 
I mean, whatever can go wrong (or at least not according to plan) will most definitely blow up in my face at the most inopportune time.

Of course with my schedule, there really is no good time to deal with life’s little inconveniences. Things such as dinners that don’t cook themselves, garbage that doesn’t take itself out and worst of all……….broken appliances.

Granted if money and scheduling were not an issue, I would simply dial up Repair-O-Hunk and have him drop by during my afternoon tea. He could fix it up in a jiffy and we would be back in business.

Unfortunately my current reality doesn’t include a big bank account and any handyman that I would call would want to come during my work hours. So regardless of money, it would still mean I would have to ask my Mom to hang out at my house all day waiting on him/them or her.

So when I came home after work today, with all intentions of going back out to the opening night of RudyFest (it’s an annual bluegrass music festival, for those of you not in the know) and found a WHOLE bunch of water in the floor, I knew my evening plans were about to be re-routed.

I discovered this fluid festival in my floor when I stepped in it.

In my socks!

Oh yes, that is enough in itself to put me in a royally foul mood.

So I did a quick calculation and determined I would rather stay home tonight, fix the leaking dishwasher and be able to attend tomorrow night. (Friday night’s line up includes The Steeldrivers and I have been Mega-pumped for months about watching them. I don’t plan on missin’ that show unless, this thing is SPRAYIN’ water in the air!!!)

So anyway, I thought I would share, in detail, how I fixed my leaky dishwasher. I figure I can’t be the only person who would like to save a little green on something that you can easily do yourself.
　
First 2 things to keep in mind:
 

#1 - I absolutely DO NOT know what I am talking about. Do not hold me accountable for this information. I am not an appliance repair technician. I am not liable for any damages that you may incur due to anything that I may or may not write in this post. If you choose to use any of the information contained in this blog post, it is because you are a tight-ass like me; not because your are choosing to use superior information and directives.

#2 A leaky dishwasher is either gonna be no big deal, or its gonna be REAL BIG.

Barring a cracked tub (which is what I meant by REAL BIG), there are only a few places that the water can be coming from. My dishwasher is a Kenmore. It is cheap, basic and functional. It doesn’t have any fancy bells or whistles. Keep this in mind, your dishwasher may be (and most likely is) drastically different from mine.                    

                     *** The Door Seal
                     *** The Drain or Drain Hose
                     *** The Water Intake
                     *** Where the Heating Element goes through the Tub
　
Determine the Leak Source

One of your first steps will be to determine where the leak is coming from. Not being a repair technician, and knowing the proper and likely easier way, this is how I chose to do this.

              * UNPLUG THE DISHWASHER!!!! The money save from repairing your

                 dishwasher won’t count for much if you end up at the ER (or worse).
              * I dried up all of the water. This included the floor and inside the

                 dishwasher.
              * I removed the screws that hold it in place, and moved the dishwasher

                 out from under the countertop. (As much as possible so I can see

                 under it, but without having to disconnect the water line or drain 

                 hose.)

                   



I know this picture is not very clear, but
it should help. Open the door to your dishwasher and look up
underneath of the countertop. Your dishwasher shuold be secured
similiarly. Mine has two of these.



             * I dried up any other water that I could find. (when I moved the

                dishwasher out, there was more under it)
             * When everything was completely dry, I located where the water

                goes in, where the water comes out, and where the heating element

                goes through the tub and connects to the wires. 

 

See where the heating element enters into
the tub. If you look under the dishwasher where the ends
protrude through, you will see where the heater nuts screw on.



             * In all of these locations, I laid dry paper towels down on the floor.
             * Next, I filled a glass with water and poured the water on the inside

                of the dishwasher at the heating element and the drain.
             * After, emptying the glass, I checked the paper towels to see if there

                were any signs of water.

At this point, I could tell my dishwasher was leaking at the heating element. If you have discovered the source of your leak , skip below the highlighted section. If not, continue reading in the highlighted section for more tips on detecting the source of your leak. 

 




Here is a picture of the old damaged nut,
along side of the new one.

            

 * If the leak appears to be coming from the drain or drain hose. Check to make

    sure the hose is securely fastened to the drain. If the hose is worn or cracked,

    it may need to be replaced. If you cannot determine the problem or if the leak

    appears to be something else you may have to break down an call in              

    the experts.                                                                                                   
 If the leaks are not coming from either the drain or the heating element,    

 then try this.                                                                                                    
 * Close the door, and plug dishwasher back in. Turn it on for a few minutes.     
 * While unit is running, check paper towels under the water intake.                    
     If this is the source of the leak, check to make sure that the water line in         

     securely fastened to the pump. Also, be sure to check the hose, if there are    

     signs of damage or cracking the hose may need to be replaced. If you cannot

     determine the source, or if it appears the leak is coming from the water pump.

     You may need to call in the experts.                                                             

  * Next, check for signs that the door seal be leaking.                                       
     If this appears to be the case, you will have to talk to someone more             

     knowledgeable than myself. I don’t have the faintest idea whether those are   

     repairable or replaceable.                                                                             　

Repair Leaking Element

The actual culprit is what they call a heater nut. It’s a thin copper nut, made specifically to fit over the heating element ends. They are soldered together and as they are continually heated and cooled, the solder eventually breaks.

                * Remove the wiring from the heating element.

                   (Mine just slips on the end.)               

                * Remove the clear plastic tubing. Its called a Heater Shield. It helps

                   prevent water from coming in contact with the electrical wiring,

                   in case of a leak. Because that could cause serious problems. The

                   least of which could be an electrical shock hazard or even fire. 
                   Be careful and keep up with it. It can be difficult to se if you drop

                   it in a dark cramped space, such as under a dishwasher.
                * Remove the old Heater Nut. It basically falls off when you touch it.
                    

This is the underneath of the dishwasher, where
the heating element comes through. You can see the left side
element, where I have already removed the electrical wires,
heater shield and cracked heater nut.



             * Install new Heater Nut. It only needs to be hand tightened, but make

                sure it is tight. (I do not know whether it is possible, but the

                flimsy-ness of this product appears as though it may be possible to

               strip or warp these if you are not careful.)
            * Re-install Plastic Heater Shield.
            * Reconnect wires to heater element.
            * Adjust Heater Shield to make sure that all exposed connections are

               covered .
 

And this picture shows everything put back together.


Check for Leaks
              

               * Replace the paper towels directly under the repaired leak.
               * Fill another glass of water and pour it directly over the repaired area.
               * Check the paper towels, for signs of leaking.
               * If you want to test it a little more vigorously, you could plug the

                  dishwasher back in and turn it on for a few minutes. This water is

                  much hotter and is hitting the repaired area much more forcefully.

                  If there are still no signs of leaking on your paper towels, you

                  should feel pretty confident.

Re-install Dishwasher

Mine is easy. I just slide it back in and line it back up. Screw the 2 screws back in under the countertop, and plug it back in.
　
You're finished and it only cost about 5 Bucks!!!

Wow. I can assure you that it actually took me longer to write this post than it did to fix my dishwasher. Technical writing is not my forte.

30 minutes = start to finish on dishwasher.

15 hours = writing, and proof-reading this post, uploading the stunning visual aids, trying to connect to the internet on my Verizon Netbook during a storm, giving up, going to bed and getting up this morning to finish it. :))

This thing is great for blogging and net surfing on the go (it's even 3G, so I can surf while traveling down the highway ~*when someone else is driving ofcourse.) because I have internet everywhere I go.



Except home :(
　　

The Evil Culprit!
Notice the crack all the way down the side.



Want A Job Here? Read This First!

My day job (you know the one that actually attempts to pay the bills) is as an office manager for a  railroad construction company. It is increasingly stressful, although I am not sure whether it is the job that is changing or myself. More likely it is a combination of both.  Anyway, that's a topic for a whole other day.

I seriously don't feel like going into to a bunch of shite describing my workplace dynamics and all of those involved, so I'm gonna just jump to the punch.

I have spent the last two days attempting to hire some new laborers.  This is not uncommon, as we have an extremely high employee turnover rate and I often get stuck with this responsibility.  Unfortunately, I would  rather do anything other than this. Almost.

I find this task excruciatingly painful and increasingly more difficult to even be civil. Remember this is coming from someone who quickly managed to learn how not only be civil but friendly (and mean it) to her ex and Etc. I'm sure some people will think I'm just being lazy, moody, bitchy or just a poor employee. Maybe I am, but you seriously have no idea what I have to deal with and I am not good enough of a writer to put it into words.

In an attempt to get out of this unenjoyable little task, I have been sitting here making a list of several arguments that I thought were rather convincing. At least at first.  Unfortunately, after a second thought or so I realized that I would be the only one convinced. So, if I can't get out of it then maybe I can possibly make it a little more bearable.

I created this MEMO to hand out to anyone wishing to apply for a job here. I think it will help, don't you?

___________________________________________________________________________________
MEMO
To: All Applicants
From: The Witch Behind the Desk

Tips & Tricks to Help Obtain Employment Here

1) Please write legibly. If I cannot read your name or phone number, what do you seriously think your chances of getting a job are? I can't even call you for griefs sake!

2) Read the Job Requirements Page. Attached to your application is a smartly written FAQ page. It will answer Most of your questions. And yes they do apply to you. 

3) Yes, the job does require travel out of town. It says so right there on that little FAQ page. Also, the last time I checked they took ALL of the tracks out of this area back in the 80's. Soooo, unless Doc Brown and Marty show up with the Delorian, we won't be working on those.

4) The application is short for a reason. Do not struggle over the application. I have made it as short as possible. I seldom bother with contacts or references, unless I know them personally.  Chances are that a personal reference is your tokin' buddy from way back anyway and businesses are so legally tongue-tied that if they have a bad reference to give, they most often wont. So I usually don't bother. I really only care whether you can pass a background check and drug test.  The rest you can prove to your foreman and super.

5) The App plainly states that we only hire laborers for a reason. It is because we Only Hire Laborers. I don't care how many years you say you have working for another company. Again, I say prove it to your foreman and super. If your worth what you say, you will quickly be noticed.

6) Don't get P.O.'d at me because you can't pass the background check. It wasn't me that had anything to do with your drug and assault charges.  I didn't put that on you, so don't put it on me.  If you can't pass the background check to enter the properties we work on, we obviously don't need you.

7) If you can't pass the Drug Test, Please, Please, PLEASE Don't Waste My Time! Seriously. I won't buy whatever story your selling. I don't care if you have prescriptions. It doesn't matter. You Can Not work while under the influence. Whether RX or No! I have heard every blue-blazing, cock-and-bull story over the last 7 years, so save it. If you fail a pre-emp test for me, your name goes on a Do Not Hire list. End of Story.

8) Flattery will get you everything. Except a Job. I am not an empty headed girl. I know false compliments and sugar coated B.S. when I hear it. No matter how many times you call me honey, sweetie, or sugar, and yes I have been told I was beautiful and have even been told that I was "da bomb"; it will not affect my vision to properly read your drug test.  FYI, your rotten teeth and skin sores are a giveaway that your lying about having "never tried Meth in your life".

9) I learn more about you from what you say than what you put on your app. You really left your last two jobs because you hurt your back(or your arm or foot, or whatever)? You are openly telling me that? You quit at the (fill in blank w/ easy-as-pie job) because you couldn't get along with your boss? You haven't had a job for several years? ...... GEEZ

10) Please Do Not Touch My Stuff. The paperwork and items on my desk are not conversation starters. It's what I was diligently working on before I was stuck with the crappy task of hiring you. Please do not touch, pick up, try to read, or ask me questions about anything on my desk. It is confidential and it is rude! I mean seriously, some of this should have been things your Mama taught ya. 

10) You do know this is a small town, right?  I may not know everyone who lives around here, but I know ALOT of people. Especially my age and older. Just because you may not know or recognize me, it doesn't mean I don't know you or your reputation. Please keep that in mind if your the guy who stole my four-wheeler back in '02.

11)Cheese and Wine may go well together, but we don't serve it here. The more you whine about "how bad you really need this job" and how "you would do anything, no matter how hard, and you will always be available, and you just really, really have to have this job", the more I am convinced that you will either Not show up at all or last only a couple of days.

FINALLY, Just a 'lil bit more.
If you really feel as though you Must bring your Mother, Wife, GF or even grandmother with you when you fill out your application or during the hiring process. Could you please, ever so sweetly ask them (and I mean this with the utmost respect) could you ask them to wear a bra? It makes me feel like I should take pics and submit them to PowM.com and it's a bit overwhelming. Thanks.

The Fried Pickle Phenomenon

I admit it. I am a Screamer.

You know exactly what it is that I am talking about. You’ve all witnessed the tail-end of some poor mother’s wits as she yells insensibly at her children. In public. Yes, that is me. At least it easily could be.

I have always acted as though I believed the louder I yelled something the better it was understood. Kind of makes you wonder if I missed my calling to be an athletic coach or a drill sargeant, doesn’t it? Anyway, when Ty was about 9 months old, I lost all sensibility and yelled at the top of my lungs because he would cry every time I took two steps away from him. Now I realize that is what babies do, but I was a mess emotionally. The thing is, it was the look on his beautiful face that made me want to change. The look I saw on his face was one of fear. I didn’t want my baby to be afraid on me. I wasn’t someone to be afraid of. I loved him and would always protect him.

It was then that I realized how much louder our actions speak than our words. It was then that I promised myself that I would work hard NOT to scream or yell.

Like all bad habits this one has been difficult to break. I have had to change my strategy many, many times to find something that works. Just to change it again, when that quits working. I have had to have a lot of talks with Ty to explain why when we are both tired, things sometimes get ugly. We’ve talked about what things always seem to get us into trouble.

So, recently I have employed a new warning strategy. A warning strategy is similar to the count of 3 principle. The child knows that if the parent reaches the number three then all hell breaks loose. Right? It should anyway.

One of my pet peeves is having to repeat myself. Ty is essentially the best staller I have ever encountered. (other than my sister, but I think she is more obnoxiously slow than stalling) So to keep him from getting us both sidetracked or distracted, I find myself repeating myself, then ultimately loosing my temper.

So I told Ty that I wanted us to both come up with a code word. I explained to him that this code word was for me to use to warn him that I was on the brink of loosing it.

I asked him if he had any suggestions for what this code word should be. I told him that it should be something that we would not commonly say but something that neither of us would forget. He studied for a moment then he smiled and said he knew a perfect code word. “Fried Pickles.”

I told him that sounded great and that anytime he heard me say “Fried Pickles” that I was on the edge of loosing it and that he should proceed very cautiously. He said he understood and we shook hands to seal the deal.

That was several weeks ago, and this evening is this first time I’ve had need to use our new code word. He is always tired on Sunday afternoons. I guess two hours at church is more than he can handle. Sometimes I wonder what they do to wear these kids down so much. Anyway, I was trying to get his clothes laid out for school and get his lunch packed and he was having a meltdown over the wii remote not working correctly. I told him I would check it out as soon as I finished what I was doing.

Evidently, it wasn’t what he wanted to hear . So he was shedding big croc tears, and screaming etc, etc. So as the situation continued to escalate, I could feel how short fused I was. So I immediately picked him up, sat him on my lap and as sternly and firmly as possible I looked him in the eye and said “Fried Pickles”.

Then I completely lost it. Not like usual though. I laughed so hard I STILL think I scared him. Seriously, the next time you are on the verge of loosing your temper with your kids. Look them dead in the eye and say “Fried Pickles”. It may be just me, but I don’t think I can say that without loosing some of my steam.
I wonder what would happen if I said it three times real fast.

Eco Friendly Weed Control

I have just wasted an entire day of my life. I completely vegged out on my couch through 4 entire movies. During which I have been totally solo. No one around. It has been awesome.

Don't get me wrong, I miss Ty terribly when he is gone. Even as I write this I am longing for him and his never ending stream of questions. Sonnie Mae has also gone MIA today, and it always seems wrong when she is not around. (I would say her Mom thinks the same thing about her always being here, lol) But this lazy day has been glorious.

Now I'm all jacked up on Mountain Dew and can't go to sleep. So I am beginning to stew on all of the things that I should've or could've done today. Of course I realize there is no use crying over spilled milk. It's just what I do.

In an effort to stop obsessing over the undone housekeeping, here I am writing to you all.

While some may say that I am jumping the gun a little this year, I can't help it. I'm soooo over winter right now. The other evening it was warm enough to make a walk around inspection of the house. During this excursion I saw my daffodils poking up through the ground. I swear it was like a burden was lifted from my shoulders. Seriously. A layer of the winter doldrums just peeled off and floated away. I wish all of my problems could be so easily solved by little yellow blooming flowers.

Just like housekeeping and laundry, weed control is a never ending battle. Every spring I start out gung-ho. I am bound and determined to keep my flower beds and lawn perfectly groomed. I pull those stray weeds fully out by their roots. I mulch. I water and I fertilize. Then I go on vacation.

I'm not sure what really goes on during those 5 or 6 days I'm gone, but when I return my beautiful well -groomed landscape looks shabby and abandoned. It's so disheartening that I struggle through the remainder of the season just doing what has to be done.

Anyway, to get back on topic, I want to share with you my recipe for a non-toxic weed killer. you can use this in your flower beds if you are very careful to ONLY apply it to the obnoxious weed you are trying to rid yourself of. I'm not that careful so I just pull the weeds in my flower beds, but I do use this in areas I don't want anything to grow.

What you need:
Gallon of Apple Cider Vinegar
26 oz. box of Salt
2 Gallon Garden Sprayer

Directions:
Mix both ingredients until salt is dissolved. Pour mixture into garden sprayer. Completely saturate either the ground or the plant itself.
Repeat this process daily until weeds are eradicated.

Just some Info:
Applying on hot sunny days allows the plants to soak the solution up more quickly.

Spraying the plant directly, destroys its protective coating. The plant then dries out all the way to the root. Unfortunately, the root itself is very hardy unless treated several times it will usually survive. Thus in time the weed will re-emerge, and will need to be retreated.

Saturating the ground around the plant lowers the soils ph to a point that it can no longer survive.

Household vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, contains about 5% acetic acid. The USDA says that for better weed control a stronger acidic content is recommended. You can purchase horticultural vinegar, which contains 20% acetic acid, online. I prefer to stick with the household vinegar because I know it's safe and effective for my needs.

Salt and vinegar can be corrosive or damaging to other surfaces as well. Please use care when applying near concrete or concrete products as the salt will damage these surfaces.

Tips for a Successful, Stress-Free Birthday Party

Ok, I admit that stress "free" may be a slight exaggeration.  Stress, it seems,  is just part of the package  any time there is a group of small children getting all jacked up on cake, ice cream and soda .  So without tying the kids to their chairs and gagging them with their own socks, here are some of my solutions for making it enjoyable for all involved.

#1 - Venue

                On the surface, having the party at home seems like a very budget friendly and convenient place to host a birthday party. In my situation that is not the case. I prefer one of those pizza and game places that are located throughout the country.  I pick our local favorite and book it in plenty of time to ensure the date and time that I prefer.  This eliminates: cleaning before and after, finding tables and chairs for guests and games or entertainment .  The  food and drinks are included, as well as plates, cups and silverware. 

#2  - Theme

                Children have great imaginations, and that is great..... until they use it to come up with off the wall ideas for their birthday parties. Don't get me wrong,  I love parties that are full of creative and lovingly handmade decorations and games. While on one hand they are such unique experiences, and I believe that all children should have at least one of those in their childhood memories. They are a lot of work and can be very stressful to pull together.  To eliminate this problem I simply go to my favorite website for party supplies. My son and I pick from the themes available on there.  Officially licensed character supplies can get pretty pricey. So I limit the items I buy to: Invitations, Plates & napkins for kids only, table decorations , cake or cupcake topper and treat boxes. The closest party supply store is about 1 1/2 hours from me, so I purchase my theme items online to save very valuable time and gas.

#3 - Invitations

                I do not suffer from the need to make all people happy at all times.  This comes in very handy at times like this.  My guest list usually consists of siblings, family and close friends with similar aged children, grandparents, and most recently I allowed him to pick 3 to 4 friends from either school or church to invite.  For the most part, I invite people personally.  I only send written invitations out to the school friends.

                I also do not invite stressful people.  You know who they are. Everyone has them in their family or social group. The super needy friend, the drama queen cousin and even good ole Uncle Freddy who hasn't seen a sober day since 1982.  I just leave these people off of the list, and it saves me tremendous worry and aggravation.  

#4 - Cake or Cupcakes

                In order to make serving much easier, I prefer cupcakes and the individual containers of ice cream.  My local venue doesn't have a problem with us putting the ice cream in their freezer until serving time.  If yours does not accommodate such a request, I would probably just skip the ice cream. 

                Some people actually enjoy cooking and baking, but I am not one of them.  Fortunately, a childhood friend of my sisters has a sweet shop, and I prefer to order my cupcakes from her. This is a huge time saver for me, and thus a stress saver.

#5 - Gifts

                The fewer presents there are to deal with, the better.  I don't know about everyone else, but with the allure of the pizzeria's token games, it is hard to keep my son's attention focused on opening gifts. So I let him open his gifts from me at home the morning before the party.  This way there is less to pack over and then again back home.

#6  - Treat Boxes

                The treat boxes are one of my favorite parts of the party.  I usually spend a little extra on the boxes instead of using the bags. They work as extra decorations for the party as well as gifts for the guests.  I hand these out as the guests are going home, to help prevent fights over the goodies inside.  I put these together a day or two ahead of time. Whichever fits best into my schedule.

#7- Don't forget!

                Take camera and/or camcorder. Best to check batteries the night before.

                Decorations, Plates, Napkins, etc.

                Treat Boxes/ Bags

                Cake (Cupcakes) and Ice cream

                Serving Utensils for the cake.

                Candles and a Lighter

                Pen & Paper (to take notes for Thank you cards.)

                Aluminum Foil - (I like to send the extra cake or cupcakes home with other people. )

One last piece of advice is: Don't be afraid to enlist help. One person can't and shouldn't have to do it all. Although, I have streamlined this process into a fairly manageable process for myself, I still give my camera to another family member for them to take pictures. This allows me two free hands for everything else that needs  to be done.

It has taken a few years to figure out what works best for me.  I hope this may help you find your way to a successful, stress-free birthday party as well. 

***UPDATE 2/23/2011***
While surfing the net today, I stumbled upon a great article on parenting.com.  30 New Amazing Birthday Cake Designs. The article shows you step-by-step with pics and diagrams how to make some very, very cute cakes. I felt compelled to share it here, for those crazy people out there who might actually enjoy making their own cakes. :)

Grammie Saves the Day!!!

Although today is Ty's 5th birthday, it is his first "school" birthday. We both have been so excited about it all year long. Every time one of his classmates had a birthday and brought in some sugary delicious treat for their classmates, he and I would brainstorm ideas of what we would do on his birthday. Of course, being a cupcake man, he always circled back to that idea.

Yet, somehow between supervising the construction of a valentine box and valentines for his classmates, ordering flowers for his teacher, etc. and making sure I have all of my half of Saturdays b-day party stuff taken care of, the school cupcake idea kinda got lost in the shuffle.

It resurfaced again last night around 10:00.  Quietly getting up to search the cabinets, I knew it was pointless. I don't cook real food let alone cupcakes. But when I opened the first cabinet and saw the icing, I thought I was in luck. Digging deeper, I found cupcake liners, sprinkles, and that gel icing you can write stuff with. Unfortunately my quest never unveiled any cake mix.  Time for Plan B.

I call my Mom. Being the super Grammie that she is, she immediately volunteered to get up early this morning and go to the store to get cake mix and make him some cupcakes. As great as that idea was, I felt that was a little much. After all it is She who would have to arrange to get them to school and play homeroom mom, while I was at work.

For anyone who does not nor has ever resided in a small town, this may not seem like such an major issue. So get those images of neatly packaged cupcakes sitting in your grocer's bakery out of your head. In order to have luxuries like that, the grocery store has to be big enough to have a bakery. Ours, obviously, does not.

So exactly how did she save the day?

None other than those neat little individual cups of ice cream. The ones that are so perfect for parties. She called Ty's teacher this morning to see when the best time would be to bring them. According to her, they were a smashing hit for all involved. Maybe he never realized he was missing the cupcakes. And if he did ... well.... his Mama Lilly (aka stepmom) has that base covered for him this evening. It all works out.

Thanks Mom! I owe ya one! (again)
