YSaC, Vol. 531: To title too assemble hard.

blinder


as far as i know it works i am sure it has all the parts just not sure how to put it together
it was given to us by family
it needs to be cleaned
it has the spout so the juice goes right into the cup it is yours it you want it
pick up only
email and please leave contact info i will get back to you today
thank you
531

I can see where having to clean this AND figure out how to put these two pieces together could be too much to handle.

FREE KRUPS EXPRESSOR MACHINE


IT WORKS AND HAD ALL THER PART S PIEVES
PLUGS INTO OUTLET
DUH RIGHT
120 VOLTS
I DONT WANT IT ANYMORE BECAUSE I DI NT USE IT FOR 6 MONTHS AND
NOW IT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED. THEY TOLD ME TO USE VINEGAR I TRIED IT WITH VINIEGAR
AND ALSO TRIED SOME NATURAL PEPPERMINT SOAP. NOW ITS SMELLS LIKE SOAP AND I DONT HAVE THE PATIENTS TO KEEP POURING IN FRESH WATER TILL ALL THE SOAP WILL DISPERSE FROM INSIDE THE TUB THAT HEATS THE WATER. IF YOU WANT IT JUST TELL ME YOUR 1ST NAME AND IF ITS A WEIRD NAME TELL ME WHAT YOUR NAME MEANS.
I THINK YOU SHOULD STOP BY TODAY TO COME PICK IT UP. I AM NEAR [location].
CLOSE TO C-TOWN DONT TELL ME HOW TO CLEAN IT I DONT CARE ANYMORE I AM GIVNG IUP LET ME GIVE UP OK.. I KNOW I PAID A LOT FOR IT BUT LET ME GIVE UP.

On the one hand, this is a great opportunity for someone with a weird name who loves peppermint-soap-flavored espresso. On the other, appliances are hard, y’all!

Thanks, James and Johanna!

    Its very important to be as expressor as possible with your patients who are suffering from pepperment mange.

          Use a simple hacksaw to remove the top part of the pitcher. That’s there to prevent children from putting their eyes on the blades, but it’s really only an optional attachment. If you don’t have kids, or if your kids are already blind, cut that pitcher loose, and Bob’s your uncle.

    Maybe I am reading too much into this, but I feel like going and taking the free appliances from this person would really reinforce survival of the fittest. If you are too much of an ignoramous to put together a blender, you should lay down and die because maybe life in general is too hard. Subsequently, I will take your appliances as though they were the boots of a fallen cowboy in a western movie.

    Hi, I’m calling about the blinder? Yeah I know it’s in pieces, and dirty. I’m okay with that, cuz like you, my mother raised me in a barn! Hey do you know if it’s crawling with disease at all? Oh, you don’t? Hmm. That’s too bad. I’m a fan of dirty old appliances giving me horrible and disgusting diseases. Oh yeah it has a spout thing! So cool! Please, correct me if I’m wrong, but I’ve heard that this allows you to get the juice DIRECTLY into the cup? It does?! Woo doggy! And to think, all these years I’ve just been removing the pitcher from it’s base and POURING my drinks! Like some sort of caveman…. Hahaha, but again, I was raised in a barn…. Ok well I think you’ve answered all my questions…. What’s that? You don’t even know if it WORKS?!? That’s….. Amazing! Ok ok ok uhhh I am going to come by RIGHT NOW. I NEED THIS BLINDER.

    so he/she is not sure how to put the “blinder” together eh? Well from what I can recall from before I gave mine to a friend after not using it ever, there are only 4 parts, the base, the pitcher, the blade and the lid.

    How dumb can you be if you can’t figure out that the pitcher sits on top of the base, the blade goes inside and the lid goes on the top?

      Whenever the “to” is a particle of the infinitve, be sure to keep them separate: “We dropped in to visit my Aunt,” “He just stepped in to pay the bill.”
      We use “into” to express motion or direction: “He stared into her blue eyes,” “She walked into the store to say hello,” “She drove into the side of the garage.” In a sentence such as “Let’s invite them in to dinner,” of course, you wouldn’t want people walking into your dinner.*

    i work in an electronics store and i can tell you, that 2 nutjobs above are just the tip of the iceberg. if you didn’t have customers, who wrecked up their brandnew 1000+€ washing machines because they didn’t remove the transport-protection-things or put some kind of cream all over their face and then whine about how their keyboard smells funny, because said cream has dripped all over the place, (there’s some kind of unintended bad rhyme in hear, i guess) then you’ve seen nothing.

      I don’t have customers, nor do I have patients.
