Thanks so much. I really have cut back - I started 200 seedlings (of tomatoes - don't know how many veggies all together), but gave away a ton and lost quite a few also, so am left with only 92 actually in the ground. And I'm not doing the Farmer's Market unless for some reason it becomes incredibly convenient. Not worrying about growing any for anyone but our family - but I do want to do a lot of drying and canning this year - we ran out way too soon last winter and food has really gotten expensive. Plus, I just wouldn't know what to talk about in the summer if I wasn't growing too many heirlooms! First thing people seem to start conversations with is "So, how's your garden?" - then they ask about the baby! But, in all seriousness, we need to really get some staking done and then I'm really going to take it easy and just try to enjoy it. I guess I spent a lot of years trying to raise my kids in poverty and really feeling guilty for everything I wasn't giving them - not things so much as 'country living experiences and knowledge'. Now I've got so much joy seeing them out in the garden (well, don't see the oldest out here much as she apparently hates dirt - but she'll come out if I really need it or beg), and especially having this new little one out there in his stroller or sling and know that he's going to get his whole childhood being raised the way I dreamed of getting to raise the other two. I can't wait till he gets excited about flowers/plants and pulls them up - and I won't have to apologize to anyone (like I did when the middle one would do it in public gardens) because they're all ours!

I spent over a thousand dollars on an HE TL and it was so awful I sold it for $100 less than two years later.. A couple of months later a friend called to tell me the lady who bought it and her daughter were taking their clothes to a neighbor's house to wash because the washer was not cleaning their clothes and they smelled and they didn't want to use it anymore because it was gross. Mind you when I sold it to them it did not smell and looked brand new so this was yet another new development. After research it is suspected the hot water intake valve had stopped functioning. I felt so bad that I offered to give her her money back. The machine was top of the line had a huge "looking" capacity but you couldn't use it to full capacity. Sometimes when I took clothes out they were not even wet all over. I did not overload the machine. It ruined many items of clothing and it destroyed sheets as if it hated them. It would tightly wrap clothes in a knot and then get out of balance. What a horrible machine. It caused me much financial setback and also many days of frustration dealing with this POJ. The matching dryer was loud and could be heard all over the house as if it had no insulation it also was top of the line companion to the washer and had the steam which was sort of a joke. I finally ended up buying a front load GE middle of the line that I had used in a condo while on vacation and loved it. It was so quiet and did such a good job. I rewashed everything in my suitcase that I had brought with me. My clothes seemed gross from using the top load machine, I never felt that anything was clean and maybe even dirtier since going through the TL wash. Not to mention they are loud sounding like an airplane engine spooling up and the water is coming in from the top of the machine of course and is a long way to the bottom so it sounded like water falling onto flat rocks in a cave when it was going through the machine. I still have bad memories of this awful machine and would not wish one on my worst enemy. It was the machine you first mentioned when considering a TL. Don't do it!!! In addition, don't fall for the extra large capacity. The larger the drum the more easily it will go out of balance. Think of spinning a small bowl on your finger as opposed to a great big one. I have the 3.5 capacity and only on occasion do I miss a larger capacity. The front loaders do take more time to do laundry, a fact of life with these new HE machines. The less water the longer it will take to do the job is the reason they are set up that way. I am really happy with this set and got it on sale at Home Depot, the washer and dryer for about $1100 including delivery and the extra stuff like hoses etc. WASHER GFWN1100L2WW GE DRYER DGFDN110ELOWW GE If you like this set, be aware that you will have to empty the detergent drawer of water after using for the day so it will empty a small bit of water left in the tray. Very easy but some people might not know this. It comes out easily and just dump it in sink. You probably don't have to do it but I do. There may be different model numbers now since my set is about two years old.

Jujen and Wave Runner are, by most observations, a set of identical twins (Jujen registered by American Leonard Jones in 2002, but not widely distributed, and Wave Runner registered by John van Ostrand—also American—in 2007). Usually such twins are trans-Atlantic pairs, such as White Linen (American) and Valley's Sushi (Dutch).
