SOURCE: Rotten Egg Smell

Repair man told me this is common with front load washers. I was told to put Sunlight dish washing detergent (for dishwashers not hands) in the machine (about 1/2 cup) and do a hot wash with the machine empty.

SOURCE: Rotten Egg Smell

Make sure the rubber door gasket is clean. Pull it back and clean under and around it. The gasket will collect dirt and begin to mildew causing various odors. Run the machine empty, boil a medium pot of water to almost boiling, then put it in the machine during the wash cycle. This will help clean the lines, during the rinse cycle place a 1/2 cup of vinegar in the unit. Make sure you are using HE detergent. 1-2 tablespoons will due. If your using liquid fabric softner, dilute it by half. These machine use less water than a typical top loader and can't dissolve regular detergent effectively. There by causing your lines to get clogged with gunk.

SOURCE: Egg Smell

We fell prey to the same desire to have the state of the art, economical and supposedly gentler on your clothing front loading washing machine. Bosch WFK 2401 and I have found a solution but it is not pretty for those of you who have a washer not hidden in a laundry room.

I keep the kick plate off at the base of the front of the washer. Using a low profile pan, an 8 x 8 cake pan is about right and immediately after every wash plase the small drain hose over the pan and open it. The pan fills about half way with water that is left in the bottom of the drain system. Doing this prevents the next load from being exposed to the rotten egg water.

It must be done at the end of every load. I too keep the front door open when not in use and pull the detergent/softener draw open as well.

Good luck. Can hardly wait to justify that I have lived with this long enough to purchase a new top loader!

Do you see newborn snakes in Florida in October and if you do see a baby snake is the mother nearby

Not necessarily. Snakes don't protect their babies like other animals. Some snakes lay eggs, and once the eggs are laid, the mother goes off in search of food. The babies are on their own. Even snakes who give birth to live babies do so, and the babies are then left to fend for themselves.

Do akes lay eggs or do they birth

Dear Willi,
Snakes, being reptiles, lay eggs.
Just about all reptiles do.
As to whether there are eggs laid in your house, that is a really good question, since snakes do go into homes to lay eggs on occasion.
Since poison would not hurt them much, but it might you, I should refrain from using poison.
I forget the time it takes to hatch them, but you might wish to do a house inspection for the next few months as a regular daily routine.
The name of the snake you found is a black racer, and they are harmless to people and animals, but they eat lots of bugs and sometimes mice.
God bless your efforts.

Kentucky fried chicken

Real chicken. Typically they're 2-year-old laying hens that have spent the last 18 months in windowless egg factories that use 8-hour day+night lighting cycles to force them to lay 3 times/day. The only routers usually employed are the conveyor belts that transport the eggs to the sorting room, though.

Hello my name is molly, i have a female quaker parrot named murial. she has been acting very aggersive ever since i have come home today . she has not been alone today but is vey angery. she is guarding...

Hi Molly,

FixYa is actually more of a product-support site than a pet-support site. To receive the most informed answers about Murial, you should probably seek out a site more geared towards birds.

That said, I have owned many parrots, and what Murial is doing definitely sounds like she's getting ready to lay eggs. Even if you don't have a male, Murial could very well lay unfertilized eggs. When female birds get ready to lay, they seek out a safe spot and start behaving very aggressively towards anyone who disturbs them. If she continues behaving this way and does not lay eggs, definitely seek help and look out for symptoms of egg binding.

If she does lay eggs, this behavior will continue. Eventually, she should abandon the unhatched eggs and return to normal behavior. If she doesn't, you will have to remove them to try and break the behavior (and get rid of a potentially stinky problem). She may lay again. Worst comes to worst, you can purchase fake eggs to replace the real ones with (sold online and at some bird stores).

For now, just make sure she has food and water, and isn't stressed out. It's also normal for birds in this state to have unusually large droppings (the result of holding them in for longer while sitting on the eggs or in their nest area). You may want to indulge her with some nesting material (or just a newspaper to shred).

Best of luck!
