Why we talked in different stories all the time?

 Original

In 2005, my husband went to see me in person for the first time. One moment I was never forgetting, we were in the car. I was a driver and he was a passenger. He was sitting quietly while I was talking along.Eventually, he asked me about thing we drove past and I explained. Suddenly, he said, " Why we talk in different stories all the time?" At that moment, I had no idea. I tried my best to explain and answered his questions. I had never gotten the answer about what did he mean about different stories until I moved to the USA and my English was getting better.  I studied English in Thailand and what I learned was memorizing the meaning of words but I did not know the usage and situation. I remember like this word mean this in Thai then when we want to say in English just grab that word means in Thai.

In English, the situation matters and must be using the right word for that. For example, the  three English words ; Chance, Opportunity and Occasionally mean the same in Thai short word pronounce O - Gaas but in English the three words mean different things, different situations. I did not know that. I thought O-Gaas in Thai can use three words in English replacing each other but I was wrong.

Can you imagine how language barrier in relationship? and how patient a couple must have and try to understand each other? Luckily, I do not need to learn the third language for living as I chose my man who speaks English. Other than that, the third, forth, fifth or more languages are still my choices to learn if I have enough patience.

In 2005, my husband went to see me in person for the first time. One moment I was never forgetting never able to forget I have never forgotten was when we were in the car. I was a driver the driver, and he was a passenger the passenger. He was sitting quietly while I was talking along talking the whole time. Eventually, he asked me about thing the thing we drove past, and I explained. Suddenly, he said, “Why we talk are we talking in different stories all the time?”

At that moment, I had no idea. I tried my best to explain and answered answer his questions. I had never gotten got the answer about what did he mean he meant by “different stories” until I moved to the USA and my English was getting got better.

I remember thinking like this: a word means this in Thai, then when we want to say it in English, just grab that word that means the same in Thai.

In English, the situation matters, and you must use the right word for it. For example, the three English words chance, opportunity, and occasionally mean the same in Thai, a short word pronounced O‑Gaas, but in English the three words mean different things and are used in different situations. I did not know that. I thought O‑Gaas in Thai could use the three English words interchangeably, but I was wrong.

Can you imagine how language barrier how a language barrier affects a relationship? And how patient a couple must be to try to understand each other? Luckily, I do not need to learn a third language for living because I chose my man who speaks English. Other than that, the third, fourth, fifth, or more languages are still my choices to learn if I have enough patience.

Whirlpool washer the lack of softener dispenser

February 23, 2026

We got new laundry machines. The deliver guys just left and I used them right away to see how do they work.

I discovered the lack of detergent and softener dispenser on the new washer and searched for solutions. The detergent is not the issue at all because we switched from liquid in the bottle to Pod many years. I looked for how to add softener for this model and I found two ways. 

First, manually add the softener at the rinse cycle. I was standing observation my washer to see when was the rinse cycle started. I watched it until the sign DONE. That meant, I missed the rinse cycle. Never mind for the first load, I added the second load and tested if I can stop the cycle and unlock the door.YES, however, I must keep looking for timing when the washed water drains and starts to fill clean water for rinsing. This is NO for me. I found the other solution and I am going to order the container. It is Downey ball. I do not know if it works good until I have it and use it. I will record the video , "How to add softener in the Whirlpool washer top load, the one does not have a dispenser. I looked and found out in the comments that there are many people asked for it. I thought, all the washer has the THREE dispensers for detergent,  bleach and softener. That was the reason, I did not look for it when we walked in the store, looked, chose, and ordered them.

This feels like , we down grade our machines from fully digital control panel to a half digital panel and the turning knob LOL The broken dryer and an old washer was LG front doors. AI told me, it was not down grade but TRANSITION.

By the way, this time I could manually fill the softener but not sure if that was the right cycle, will see when my laundry is done. I am surely ordering the downy ball for my convenience. I cannot keep watching the washer all the time.  At least, I can figured how to unlock the door myself during the cycles.

I unlocked the door after the water filler started which no water in the tank yet and poured the softener in it. I only hope that does not cause stain on the clothes. The information I got from searching said, " Never pour softener directly on clothes because it can be stained"

Yeah!, no stain and the clothes smell good as usual.

refrigerators

Original

 I tell you the story about refrigerator. He had a small old style which most Americans use and enough for himself alone. When I moved here, I stored food and one day he told me that we needed a new refrigerator. I replied, " why? it is good still. Then later, he draged me in the kitchen and told me to watch him while he was opening to door (one door for whole). The packed of frozen chicken flies over his face Haha🤣. The freezer without the door.

I agreed to get a new one and he gave me another solution like what they had at his parents's house. He said, we could get a freezer and put in the garage. I refused because our garage was small and I want to save his money. The time past (not sure if this past or passed) I agreed with him that it was good to have a freezer too but if we have a place to set it not in the small garage. I wanted to park my car in the garage, if we had the freezer then no way my car could fit in there. OK, we got the modern Samsung two doors open two sides,nice compaments (shelves) with automatic ice maker and water tap at the outside door. Moreover, a separated huge drawer bottom freezer. We used them about 9 years and that was my DIASTER moment while we were waiting for the new one delivered. 

We looked at the modern stylish ones and none was stocked in the store we went at all. If we wanted to wait that took one , two months which I did not have the refrigerator for two weeks. I must bought ice packs ever day, replacing the foam boxes to keep all meat and stuff. Tired! 

I forgot to mention that we were lucky the simple one ( We agreed, whatever avalable and fit our space, that was the one) .We got it in a week but it did not work. RETURNED. The team came and replaced a new one then I told them to take it back because we retruned not replaced. Aterthat, we went to the other location  same store brand/name and ordered it.Whaever available and could delivery sooner. We get in within a week. It was a simple Frigidair, top freezer open door and the big door at the shelves section. No fancy as we could not wait for them anymore. I told my husband, in the next 10 years when we get the new one, I perfer the separated bottom drawer freezer.
