I suppose it's all relative. At 70 now, that makes him about 3.5
years younger than I am.

I am 62 and feeling 70 today. Our ten year old clothes washer in the
laundry room off the kitchen shorted out today and left the cold water
valve wide open. I looked in the kitchen while I was talking to my
wife and saw waves. I looked again and realized that the kitchen had an
inch of water in it and carefully ran into laundry room where I
disconnected the washer. So we spent most of the day cleaning up
everything. I did not know that you could stand at the back door of the
kitchen and sweep the water out but I know that now. We now have a new
Speed Queen TC5 clothes washer, I bought the last one in Houston
available up in Tomball, 48 miles from my house.

I've been there, but I ended up buying a wet/dry shop vac to part the
sea on the back porch. I dread the thought of when my current appliances
start dieing as new ones are nowhere near as good.

The wife was actually using the broom out the back door and I ran to get
the wet / dry vac. No major damage.

Ouch! At least you got it cleaned up, hopefully with no
structural damage.

We just bought a new house and one of the features I really like is that
the laundry room floor is recessed about an inch and there is a drain
that leads outside.

Political interference in medical research keeps preventing us from
developing the gerontology treatments because "it violates God's plan
for us!"
