New Year’s Rant Solutions (January mini-rants)

You’re right, there’s something wonky about that model number. I checked my ever-reliable parts place with that number, and the response was “we couldn’t find an exact match”, and suggested the following as being very close – all the recognized model numbers end in “0A” rather than “1A”:

FDPC4221AS0A Frigidaire Dishwasher (Dishwasher)
FDPC4221AW0A Frigidaire Dishwasher (Dishwasher)
FDPC4221AB0A Frigidaire Dishwasher (Dishwasher)

I will try to get the picture posted tomorrow or maybe Friday, as Hubster has therapy appointments tomorrow. Not much gets done on those days. Thank you for looking.
Oh, but check Lowes or Best Buy and you can find that model number.

Huh. This site shows the A1

The Frigidaire site shows this model as FDPC4221AS - I’ve found that the last few digits in a model refer to minor variations, such as trim level such as stainless steel vs white, or perhaps another minor difference. Most parts will be interchangeable.

Of course, that’s a Canadian site, so the usual cautions apply :grinning:

Heck, maybe the A1 is the Canadian model. Or a model for a certain retailer, such as Best Buy or Home Depot.

That looks like my Dishwasher and it looks like the right part. Of course, the part I bought looked right too. And I bought it at Best Buy (the dishwasher not the part). I might try to buy it on the site you linked if I can’t find it elsewhere. Thanks!

Doncha know anything. The A1 model is the steak sauce variant! :rofl:

What decade was that? The mandatory Black Plague shot kicked my young and healthy butt. The shingles shots were so much worse.

And there it is at American Freight. :wink: Maybe the steak sauce connection is the key.

It’s now February

I still have two and a half hours of January left. Don’t try to shortchange me!

and… Happy Feb from the Midwest!

I’m celebrating by heading over to the new thread.

NCDMV is nothing if not inefficient.

I completely hear you

as opposed to the V8 model, which ranks higher on vitamins

:wink:

I was going to add Vodka, Worcestershire Sauce, Hot Pepper Sauce, Salt and Pepper since it’s Sunday… but it’s already after 12 noon by me and it might be frowned upon.

Sounds like bullshit to me. Ask wolfpup what hours he’s allowed to drink a Caesar. You’re just having a Caesar with a bivalve-ectomy.

:roll_eyes: Honestly, the only time of day when a Bloody Mary is inappropriate is whatever hours it isn’t delicious.

there are places on this planet where a Bloody Mary is considered … ahem … “salad” …

…and I’m perfectly okay with that, especially if some nosy dietitian is interrogating you about your veggie intake.

You’re response seems pretty hot and angry… like I was grabbing a drink out of your hand or that I cut you off at the bar ( I’m not ). That drink was introduced to me as a brunch-only drink by friends and a group of neighbors… one that is created & served by the pitcher on a Sunday after a Saturday night of significant drinking.

Your neighbors may be different, you may have different social cues or cultural traditions. Some traditions even vary by neighborhood. I once knew a new neighbor who insisted that you couldn’t be a ‘gentleman’ if you ever consumed alcohol before 3 PM.

It’s sad to note that Bonnie King Charley must be very disappointed with me…

But none of that makes anyone here “bullshit”, so I’ll thank you to stop that now.

My apologies. I thought your post reflected regret at being limited in your choices by an arbitrary convention, and my intention was to remind you, in a tone of hearty camaraderie and goodwill, that you are not bound by it. Whether through my choice of vocabulary, a misplaced assumption of the level of familiarity my status as a fellow Doper entitled me to in your eyes, or some other factor, I failed to achieve my goal.

I will try to be more situationally adept in the future. In the meantime, I thank you for the opportunity for introspection that your rebuke has inspired.

Calling someone’s opinion “bullshit” in the Pit doesn’t convey that spirit. :wink:
