    Another day, another discarded stove being sent to appliance heaven...

    I assumed up until the moment I picked it up that this Kenmore electric range had something wrong with it. The woman who gave me the stove said that it worked fine, and unfortunately Facebook went down before I could ask why she replaced it (more on that later). The stove came out of a relatively small townhouse, and she tried for like two weeks to give it away, but nobody wanted it. With space at a premium in her home, I imagine that influenced her decision to give it up for scrap; I highly doubt it would have functioned property after sitting in the rain, anyway...

    Getting appliances and other stuff to scrap is one of the few things that Facebook is still good for. While I was messaging with the woman I got the Kenmore range from, FB messenger just logged me out at random for no reason, and I couldn't back in. The actually Facebook app was online for a few minutes afterward, but it soon kicked me off too; @Stitchgirl90 thought that maybe my account was hacked, but I have been on FB since early 2008 and amazingly that's never happened.

    I have the phone number of the guy I got the central A/C unit from, and I texted him to see if got kicked off Facebook. He is having the exact same problem. I also talked to a woman from an adjacent neighborhood who owns one of Porter's playmates, and she's having the same problem...

    :annoyed:

    DoorDash was working fine. Turns out they randomly decided that I needed to provide a mugshot in order to prove it was my account, I couldn't even schedule a Dash, and the app was responding so slowly that I thought it was malfunctioning...

    intake mods, firestone airbags, campershell, backup lights,
    I don't know how you even make gas money with that stuff.
    here they expect you to bring coffee and doughnuts and then pay them.
    I bought an M-416 trailer and it came with an industrial air compressor with
    gas engine and all the works and all they want to give me is $20 for it. I need
    to get rid of to clean up the trailer. I envy you.

    I found three wheels in the woods behind NAVMAR (where I got laid off from in October). Unfortunately, the scrapyard won't take them with the tires...
