As I awoke on Sunday I was giddy with excitement FOOTBALL, FOOTBALL, FOOTBALL.

But, things took a horrible turn. No it wasn't my fantasy football teams, won both of my games.....can I get a "OH YEAH". THANKS

we have been without a dryer now for about 2 months, easy enough since it has been so hot..Besides I love line dried clothes and sheets. But it was time to make that change and go buy one. Picked up the paper on Sunday morning, took a look and found a used one where the price was right.

Made the call, picked it up and came home. Jen and I slowly brought it down the stairs. Now it gets fun. This was an electric dryer, we have always had a gas dryer but see I looked before buying and new that we had a 220 size outlet down there for the dryer....see always thinking ahead.

(2 hours before Packer kick off)as I removed the old one and put into place the new one I took the plug and placed it into the socket...only it didn't fit....WTF?

(1.5 hours before kick off)So off to the hardware store to find an adapter...none made so I had to buy a new outlet, which I did, brought it home and realized that all they gave me was a face plate that didn't fit the housing. Off to the hardware store once more.

(1 hour before kick off) As I replaced the housing, wired the face plate, screwed everything in I was all set to get the dryer going.

(1/2 hour before kick off) As I plugged in the dryer to my new outlet I was pumped, turned on the power to the house and hit start on my new dryer.......nothing.......OH MY GOD I AM GOING TO KILL SOMETHING.

(5 minutes before kickoff, Paul looking stupified...is that a word?) Screw it I am call my buddy Parry...he'll be here tomorrow to help.

I can soooo relate to this. Greg can soooooooo relate to this. It all stinks. Just doesn't seem fair when you pick up something you need and ultimately end up spending an arm and a leg to get it to work... sigh... good luck. Renee
