kitchen sink drain clog, Robert Aug 13 16:46

I'm wondering if the kitchen sink drain clog is due to the washing machine lint. Do you know if lint from the washing machine is being caught?

      I don't think there's a way to clean the filter. From what I read, the filter is located beneath the agitator in the middle and, the way it's designed, any built up there is flushed down the drain (which itself could be a problem, especially if you try to ...

Re: The Great Gatsby, robert Aug 14 17:45

Ah. So, the anti-hero concept started early, but begs the question of why the anti-hero is so identifying and compelling by audiences. Maybe we all long for an alpha-male, despite all the pitfalls of patriarchy.
