Missing David. and frustrated

People frustrate me.  Not all people.  Just some. Before David’s 12th birthday, we moved him, temporarily, to a different facility so that he could undergo a med wash. All the reports I have received have been about how good a child he is, and how he listens. That is great.  I am happy that they see how good he can be.  He is manipulating them.  I keep telling them, he is in the honeymoon phase.  When he gets everyone figured out, he will revert to the David we all know and love.

Dishwasher, Dishwasher, why do you

First it was a vacuum cleaner, which we ended up burning the motor out of after I replaced the faulting hose in the base of the unit.  We purchased a new machine to replace it.  Then it was the dryer, a new heat element solved that issue.  Until the washer went out.  Yeah, not going to tear apart a washing machine…  Replaced that. Then the dishwasher got a really funky smell.  So I replaced all of the filters, and every conceivable piece of plastic in the tub.  End of smell.  After that the pump went out.  Backordered the pump.  Got the new pump today. Should be interesting to see how much it takes to fix the problem.  Although from the parts diagram, it should be fairly easy.
