Would you like a four foot log of lint with that?

I am a child of the 80's. I watch the "I love the 80's" series on VH-1, I still get a bounce in my step when the EURITHMICS version of "Walking on Sunshine" comes on the radio, I like to eat pop rocks (also bite them while drinking a diet coke for added adventure). But I am also a mom of the 2000's. I love my dishwasher with the delay start feature, I love my bagless vacuum that enables me to see the "gunk" that comes out of my carpet and I love my extra large capacity front loading washer and dryer. And on that note....
Friday evening I put a load of jeans in to wash. Next, after switching that load, I put in a load of Husbands work clothes. I merrily went about my business cooking dinner and visiting with Husband. The dryer "dinged" so I went to switch out the loads. funny Odd that the "dried" clothes were still wet. I figured I had forgotten to turn on the dryer in the first place, so I set the dryer, started it and went on about the evening. And hour later I remembered my laundry. So off I go to check it....the clothes in the dryer are now mostly dry. Hmmmmmmmmm.....long story short, I called the repair man. The dryer was obviously going out on me. Fortunately, we have the 5 year service plan, so the repair would be completely covered. A nice gentleman from Cooks Appliance (I always give names when someone in service does a good job) shows up, pulls out the dryer and after 10 minutes or less says "Do you want the good news or the bad news?" Good news "dryer is fine" Bad news "vent air duct is clogged". So off he goes, since it's not his area of expertise, after giving me some helpful advice and I get down to the business of cleaning the duct work. Four hours, three scraped and somewhat bleeding hands, I call Super Vac for an appointment. Jay from Super vac shows up and after some work says..."well that should help!" Out came a FOUR FOOT LONG COMPACTED LINT LOG! Yep..that was inside my house, running through my duct work, just waiting for the right conditions to burn my house down. God's mercy was certainly bestowed on our family for His protection. Now, I'm thinking about putting it on eBay...probably could fetch a good amount of money. Ad reads
