I hope they like seeing their names painted a nice BRIGHT GREEN..... Muwahahahahahaha........

Modifications complete. Both are now easily spotted in the members list. Cheesy

Removing that agitator is going to be one heck of a pain... YIKES Penth!! Sad

I'm not sure but I "think" I'll be able to get it out by pulling it straight up. At least, I hope so. I'm seeing more of the bottom and it is a mess.

The agitator isn't coming out. There is about an inch or two of water left that the siphon can't get so I'm going to have to take off my jewelry, tie up my hair, change into clothes that are ALREADY pretty dirty and get that last bit of water and mud out with a sponge. *sigh* Thank the Gods that I have rubber gloves! That water is filthy, full of detergent and Cold!

*SIGHS*

Well, crap Penth. That STINKS. Sad

I'm going to be around for a while yet so I'll hold the fort and keep an eye out for icky spammers while you're doing that. I nailed another two and they are easily spotted now because of their BRIGHT GREEN names, new banner and new siggie...  Smiley

Don't the spammers realize we CAN see their IP addies???

Apparently not... Not all IP addies show up on blacklists though and they think that protects them... I LOVE Stop Forum Spam cause they list ALL IP addies AND a lot of the usernames the spammers use!!

Meaning ALL of us staffers can blow them OUT of the water even before they send out a single PM or post a single post full of garbage.  Smiley

As of right now, we've had 17 spammers complete registration since 1:15 am EDT. This does NOT include the ones I caught before they could complete their registrations.

Gee whiz...  Shocked No wonder why we've been run off our feet by doing IP checks, bans and profile modifications today!!! You're probably going crazier than I am because you're getting notifications of the ones who are NOT getting in so easily!!  Smiley

The fact that the spam they are sending me is incomprehensible -- WHEN it is actually in ENGLISH -- makes me wonder WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?!

They're probably thinking it makes sense to them so it should make sense to others and they hit "SEND"....

The bloody PITAs.

And if my son does not leave those cats alone, he'll be going to bed without a story!!

Another one??? That's 8 or 9 you blew up before they finished registering, isn't it? Or did the count jump more when I wasn't looking???? Shocked

Hi there Smiley

Penth if I wasn't so far away I would bring my shop vac over to help.  Is the machine close to a floor drain?  The last time my pump was jammed (got a stone in it) we laid the hose down to the floor drain and it was slow but the machine did drain.

In different news, I have been reminded why I barely bother to post at another forum to remain nameless.  I don't like having to put up with pure ignorance.  If it wasn't for a few select people who can only be contacted there I don't think I'd bother at all...  You have no idea how much I appreciate being able to come here where people know how to have a respectful discourse.  ((hugs you all))

Okay, I didn't lose count then!! LOL

Ravens Tears, you're more than welcome to hang out here whenever you want to and it's great to know you love Sanctuary and the rest of the members here so much! We have awesome members here, what can I say? I'm very proud to be a moderator here cause the boards here are drama free and our members are just awesome. Cheesy

If you want to talk about what happened, you can talk to me via PM, let's keep it off the boards, eh??? Wink

Hi there Smiley

Penth if I wasn't so far away I would bring my shop vac over to help.  Is the machine close to a floor drain?  The last time my pump was jammed (got a stone in it) we laid the hose down to the floor drain and it was slow but the machine did drain.

In different news, I have been reminded why I barely bother to post at another forum to remain nameless.  I don't like having to put up with pure ignorance.  If it wasn't for a few select people who can only be contacted there I don't think I'd bother at all...  You have no idea how much I appreciate being able to come here where people know how to have a respectful discourse.  ((hugs you all))

Alas, no floor drain but an exterior door is only about three feet away so I connected my little siphon to a length of garden hose and threw the end out the door. It took a while and the furpersons were VERY interested in the barely open door but the washer is now as empty as I can get it. NOW, I have to get all the recycling bins out of the way so we can pull the washer out and get into the back of it. The space is narrow and, of course, the bins are full...

And hugs to you too, hon!

I don't envy you Penth!  I'm guessing it's a top loader and not a side loader? Hopefully moving it and a good flushing will be enough to get her going again!

Anything that clogs up a washer... EW....

I've found dinky cars and other toys in ours... So glad they are TOO BIG to fit in the holes in the agitator........ Son loves to fill his pockets with toys and he also has the habit of "washing" his dinky cars in with the clothes... I really have to watch that child sometimes!!! Shocked
