Before Brad arrived, I was running around like crazy trying to put all the stuff away that I drag out for various ‘experiments’. I was also trying to do some laundry, so I was on my way to the basement with a basket of clothes and as I walked through the house I put things in the basket that needed to be stored elsewhere. I got the things put away, the clothes in the machine, ans sat down to do some computer stuff. I heard a funny noise and wondered why the washer was making such a racket, then discovered the reason while unloading the washer.
Did you know that you’re not supposed to do this?
Or this?
Whoops.
Brad says
I think you should send this in to “Hints from Heloise” as a time saving trick.
Lauren's dad says
So,how LONG was it before you discovered what was causing the funny noise?
Lauren says
It went through the whole cycle, but to be fair, it wasn’t a ‘thunk thunk thunk’ of a hammer bashing the tub. It was the ‘squeak squeak squeak’ of a motor trying to turn a tub full of heavy robes and building materials.
Peggy says
HAHAHAHA … HEHEHEHE … HOOHOOHOO!!!
(the worst thing I ever washed was our pet hamster, Bobby, who was forever known as Blobby after “the incident”)
… just kidding …

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING IS NOT FOR THOSE WITH WEAK STOMACHS.
After our last round of the stomach virus with the girls, we decided that we needed a washing machine with a garbage disposal.
Karla says
We haven’t done battle with any stomach ailments yet, but I’ve thought the same thing as I wash bibs and high chair covers.

My mom recently had a similar experience, only she found out she was drying my dad’s cell phone. Not only was it clunking in the dryer, but I think it was buzzing when she pulled it out!
