Murphy is visiting my home...
Just when things start looking up our washing machine went caput... the middle part that does the turning well, just doesn't turn so now I need a new one if DH cant fix it.
I looked on craiglist near me and I saw one for $50 but I am worried it will go caput too! DH says to get a front loading one with 12 months no payments no interest but I just dont want anymore credit card debt and with the situation going on in my life I dont know if I even will use it that much.
Murphy GO AWAY!

There is always the hand-crank one -- you know it will work as long as you do.
I know I want one of those!!!

could you put a "wanted" add on craigslist for it? I bet someone out there has one sitting in a garage that they discarded after upgrading to a new model. Sorry for your troubles.

Chase him out of there fast!! Somehow he keeps showing up here,, send him east!!
Hopefully everything works out ok, and you can fix it.
Craigs list out here has some newer ones on it, maybe you can find a real deal.

Hopefully it will be just a belt that can be repaired cheaply. Just give old Murphy a swift kick in the butt out the door!!

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Hope it's just the belt that needs to be fixed.
I've just locked all the windows and doors and put the dog on "Murphy Patrol". He spent waaay too much time at my house last summer! Brought his dang cousins too!

freecycle? btw, i think murphy has left your house and is at mine. dh is out installing a new garage door opener and needs to fix the snowblower (he ran over the complimentary newspaper this morning). Let's just say he's less than complimentary towards the paper carrier now! hope that made you smile! i'm almost positive that murphy has moved out of your house into mine

I am soooo sorry about this -- I'm hoping you'll have luck on Craigslist or freecycle.
