Putting a Light Bulb into the Washing Machine


This is not the exact article I read, but there are many articles that talk about higher sleep temperature for Sleep Study What's The Ideal Sleep Temperature? New Study Offers Answer (today.com) adults. 

Sue thought it was weird Tommy putting a lightbulb into the washer to keep the washer from freezing. So, I asked him how he came to do that. I just thought it was strange, but I did not question or try to dissuade him.

He explained that there is water in the motor or something under the tub. That will freeze the pump and burst. He said the washer repair man showed him the split pump. He told Tommy to just put a bulb in the washing machine. Tommy said it worked in the blizzard we had in 1993. His washer is in an unheated utility room.

So, now we all know. Have you ever heard that about the pump having water that will freeze and split the pump?

The weatherman just said we will be back in the 60s next week. Thank goodness! 

Remember the free scoop of chicken salad at Chicken Salad Chick tomorrow, Thursday. I may not be able to go. 

So, this Wednesday, another day I have not stepped foot outdoors. Tommy got the mail. I am content.

Have you ever heard of the pump freezing and bursting in a washing machine?

Have you ever heard of putting a light bulb into the washing machine? 

Will you be able to get out to go to Chicken Salad Chick?
