Gripe Session Revisited

A little over two years ago, i had a gripe session. So i thought i would post some anti-gripes:

• The litter box doesn’t smell as bad as it did — new box and new litter helped a lot.


• Spam no longer annoys me thanks to GMail.


• Our garage door has new springs and a new LiftMaster opener.


• Firefox has been very stable for me.


• And by tonight, Lord willing, we’ll have a new dishwasher.

We are really looking forward to the new dishwasher. Logarithmically speaking, this one should be orders of magnitude quieter. Unfortunately, we had to have some of the kitchen tile pulled-up to get the old one out. The upside is that we happened to have four tiles — the exact number needed to replace the ones that had to be removed — in a box of goodies the former home owners left us. We are praying that the new unit is not as large.

Our house is 23 years old. The dishwasher was 23 years old. It actually looks like they installed the dishwasher, then installed the floor. My wife may disagree, but i find it comforting that our kitchen floor tiles are sitting on 2 inches of reinforced concrete. :-) They don’t build houses like they used to…
