Good4u I personally like working on the Duets, as I can get access to anything I want, when its time to fix them. Both the two sides remove easy and the back to get access to functioning or not functioning parts. And also the top comes off for more access. Like any machines longevity, it all depends on how you use it. All FL or TL require being properly balanced, meaning that the legs are adjusted to a level reading, and you want to make sure also that the four legs on the underside of the washer are as far up not down, but as far up in the baseplate as you can,to get a level reading. Next if you keep your loads to a full-load level, not small loads, as all machines are really disigned for a full load. I also suggest that you not save all your washing up till sat/sunday and do them back to back. If you are a small family, or just one person, then guess you will end up doing them all on the week end. If you are a large family, with people changing clothes twice a day or more, then doing loads every day is again what this machine is really disigned to do. I have been into homes that have all girls, and they are in the 15-19 year range and they do a lot of changing, so washing every day, and not letting things stack up are the best for these machines. Another area that I also know well is "make sure you leave" the door open, and you wipe the glass, and clean the rubber seal and area with the holes in the seat, so that stuff doesn't build up in there and start stinking on you. Front loaders are a sealed unit when it is washing, not like the Top Loaders, they have space for air to circulate, but the FL's don't so leave the door open, and clean the rubber seal, wipe it dry. Once a month, use a hot wash, and bleach and let it run through a wash, but again, leave the door open and clean it daily or after each use. Read your Use&Care guide, take the time and read it and understand what it tells you. If you want your Duets to look after you, you have to look after it. If you don't it will cost you, like most machines do. Another valuble thing to remember, is clean out the pockets, tooth picks, ear rings, coins, you name it, I have pulled all that out of the pumps etc, and many times these items have damaged the inpellers on the pump so had to replace the pump. If you want your washer to live a long useful life, look after it. I think you have the best of the FL's and love how they made it for the service end. Good luck you you with your new Duets.

Don't get the stuff from the Internet, which may or may not be what it claims. Find a compounding pharmacy and a doctor who will work with them. They will custom-mix bio-identical testosterone for you and monitor your blood levels of the hormone to make sure it's the right dose. You don't need to worry about chest hair, etc. The objective is to get your levels to where they are supposed to be for a woman, and at those levels, you won't get any masculine side effects.

Testosterone is only available by prescription. Anything non-prescription is, at best, something that works by a different mechanism altogether and at worst pure snake oil. "Natural" testosterone is the designation for the bioidentical, as opposed to synthetic (that methytestosterone), version. I do wish it had a better name, since the use of "natural" in a hormone context is so non-standard and confusing. This designation does however, according to my compounding pharmacist, convey the correct variety in a prescription. Judy, my experience with it is similar to yours. While the cream didn't turn me into the sex fiend of my husband's wildest fantasies, it did tune my overall sense of wellbeing and energy up a notch that had been missing on just estrogen and progesterone. I find it also has a positive impact on vaginal lubrication and elasticity. Framboise

Sounds like a foreign object is stuck in the trapway. Maybe a toy, feminine product, disposable razor part, Q-tips, etc.? Three ways to deal with it: 1) wait and maybe it will clear itself. 2) You might get lucky by trying to clear it with a closet auger (careful not to scratch the bowl, so have it retracted when you insert it so the rubber elbow is the only thing that touches the bowl. 3) pull the toilet up and see if something is stuck at the base of the toilet - no fun.
