We know, Aspergers is not 'one thing'. It's a branch on the autism tree with many leaves and buds. It tends toward enhanced faculties in individually-specific functional areas, often at the expense of other areas.
If there was a pill that 'cured' Aspergers, I wouldn't take it. It's what I am and it serves me well by not only my own standards, but those of my employers. I'm not or ever will be a 'people magnet' and that suits me fine as well.
A little obsessive-compulsive over laundry, and it's somewhat taxing putting it through my barely-adequate Chinese twintub. Do get the results I want, counts for more than 'convenience'. Besides, in this government geezer asylum, I'm in violation just owning it. Don't tell anyone, LOL. | ||

Childhood washers
Hello Robert, great to hear your stories, the liking washers is something we can all relate to,my aunts are still amazed I know every machine they had but cant remember themselves lol..
Over the pond our family washer was a trusty Servis twintub which washed for a family of six, at least 3 days a week for 2 hours a day over 16 yrs. then mum had her first automatic after 18 yrs of marriage !! Hope your search for GEv14 set pays off, keep looking !! Cheers, Mike | ||

welcome!
Hi Robert. Thanks for introducing yourself and sharing your story! No one judges you here. Just enjoy the stories, photos, videos, conversations and comradery.
Most of us here share stories of the washers we grew up with, and not just our immediate family -- but those of friends, neighbors and extended family as well. Born in the 1950's, I grew up exposed to many conventional machines (wringer and spinner washers) as well as automatics. Those were the days! So many different designs and wash actions. | ||

Hi there windiachef/Robert! 
So glad you finally decided to introduce yourself. And I enjoyed reading your childhood washer story. Especially the part where you "hated" that BOL GE washer that your dad bought your moms. And how you "despised" the "Old Finny"! That made me chuckle.
hm hm hm... So your 2003 Whirlpool has Surgilator agitator in it? That's cool! I didn't think Whirlpool continued making the Surgilator after they came out with the dual-action agitator? But then again, I don't know too much about Whirlpool washers except that my moms had one in the mid-70's (with a Surgilator agitator) when I was little, and she has a modern one today, bought within this past decade (with a dual-action agitator). I wish her Whirlpool that she has now had the Surgilator! :oD Thanks for sharing your childhood washers stories and welcome! :o) | ||
