Idiot de jour
So I loaded up the washing machine, set the dials, put in a scoop of soap powder, and pushed "start". It started. And it ran. And ran. And ran. And ran.
And ran some more.
I was waiting for the machine to finish so that I could go out and buy something for lunch. And waiting. And waiting. And waiting. And waiting.
And waiting some more.
"Gee," I thought, "this is taking a really really long time."
After two hours it occurred to me to take a closer look, and I discovered that the machine was in fact still at the very beginning of the cycle: it had been busy doing nothing at all. Why?
I had neglected a minor detail: to open the tap that lets the water in.

Oops. Don't you love situation where all you can do is laugh at yourself?
I was coming to your blog to post a thank you for your encouragement and to comment about the wisdom you have offered to me on my blog. I came wondering how someone gets that kind of insite and intelligence and yet can deliver it in such a common sence manner.....
then I read this post.......
LOL!
I am just kidding, ;-)
I really do appreciate your comments to me, it has really helped me. It feels like someone is out there that cares about me. That was needed and I am so grateful.
And your post here even made me laugh, something I have not done much of lately, so thank you
I love this story. It's like the time my husband & I listened had track one of an Astor Piazzolla opera CD on repeat, and spent a meal making fun of his repetitive music, almost as bad as Andrew Lloyd Weber, etc, etc, before realizing the mistake.
