My husband would have stripped the machine down, not found a fault and said 'just get on with it; it's not doing any harm to the clothing' I would then have gone out and bought a new one.

Susan, I do things like that all the time; panic about time then realise I don't need to as I have the wrong day in my head.

Merlin panicked this morning as there was going to be at least 8 of us, and he thought it would be busy with half-term. It's been raining all day so there was no problem at all.
Such a dreary day, it's almost depressing. Never mind; I'm in the warm and dry with everything I need.
Stay well or get well, and be happy - all of you, my friends.

I believe it is perfectly normal when startled awake to be a bit befuddled. I think it depends what stage of sleep you are in and if you are dreaming or not. I can remember it happening a time or two years ago. Although I would figure it out quickly because it was a phone call not a text.

If we need an x-ray we have to go to the hospital for one, then have to wait until they send their report to the GP. xx
I think I remember some people have to make appointments to get an x-ray?

Mine wouldn't know one end from the other of any machine. xx

We used to be able to buy them at the hardware store but I haven't seen them for a few years. Some idiot probably tried to eat one so they are no longer on the shelves.
Apparently they are still available on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=damp+rid&ref=nb_sb_noss

I used to grab a shovel and throw the dog doo back on the yard of the dog where it came from. My neighbours are much better now about letting their dog roam on my yard. We only have lilac bushes between our yards so the dogs can go through the bushes.
Good that it has helped.

That was timely. 
Yes but today I had patience tested. The dealer still hasn’t got my car seen. Son and I asked a friend to take us there and we asked what is going on because son is 6 feet fall there were 2 mechanics showed up and stayed behind the counter with the lady in charge. I don’t blame them because there are peole who do nutty things but not us. She says they will get to my car tomorrow. Had it since Monday not looked at. I don’t believe them. Son thinks they just parked it til the appointment we had for tomorrow scheduled last week. My other friend looked up the reviews people made on them 3 out of 5 stars. And a few had the same treatment I’m getting. They say they found acorns and if squirrels did the damage it’s not covered by warranty. I question it because I don’t see acorns in my driveway even in the fall.

I started again and am mid row now. It takes about half an hour to an hour to do one row so I'm not making much progress now. It's a "dip 3" stitch.
Glad you are sticking to it.
I found a baby sweater I’d done about 4 inches or more and no idea what the pattern is. Hate to waste the work I did so might try to find another similar pattern.
