This is exactly what I was looking for. Clear, concise, instructive, with a pep talk/confidence booster. Thanks, Dad.

I’ve had to replace a worn belt before, which is what I suspect the issue is here, but I am nervous that it’s a pulley problem. I highly doubt it’s the drum itself, the dryer isn’t all that old - it has been routinely overloaded though by Dogfood Roommates past. I will try lubing up the belt and go from there.

Re: dryer fires, I am fully cognizant of the dangers. I’m the self appointed de-linter of the house - I know too many firefighters to sleep easy with a full lint trap.

Jesus, a simple question disguised as a counseling session.

^ HaHa! Yes: one of his daughter having a sleepover with her schoolfriends, another of his wife loading up their dryer.

Congrats to Plankton, who is clearly Dad-Of-The-Year. :clap:

In my defence I realise I have never lived in a house with a clothes dryer. Instead, coin-in-the-slot laundromats in England, or "lavanderias" in Mexico, where women take in clothes and wash them pretty cheaply.

Let us know how you get on please, WWWP.

^ My mum's clothes dryer. Anyone having probs with this - I'm your guy!!

God damn it Lis! I thought that said "where women take off their clothes" and I was on the next plane to Cancun! :laughing:

Jesus ain't here, man.

Happy to help.

I've been going through some of the hardest 'Dad' stuff of my entire time as a Dad. My heart hurts for my little girl right now.

Oh no, what’s happening?

This is kind of my thing

She came to me for advise about getting married. She just started a career and has never really been on her own and wanted to wait. She's not ready to settle down and start a family, so my advise was to tell her hubby-to-be everything and don't hold back. Be 100% open and honest about everything otherwise those little doubts turn into regrets and loathing. She followed my advise and he kicked her out.
