The end of frozen lettuce. Our new refrigerator will be here Tuesday.

[In_The_Wind]

The beer will be cold instead of cool.

1. Nice!

Frozen peas are just like blocks of ice for future reference.

Not long after all this started we had to get the thermostat and heater element replaced in ours. Whew.

3. I've put this off since the end of last summer.

I try to avoid deliveries in the Winter months. Far too many little birds depend on our house staying warm and draft free.

2. What better and more appropriate way to celebrate than with a cold beer?

[In_The_Wind]

4. A small bit of Heaven.

Frosty beer.

[Aristus]

5. I agree.

If there's no beer in Heaven, I'm going to see if there is any in Hell, even if it's hot...

[msongs]

6. how is it lettuce freezes but beer is not cold enough hmmmm nt

8. I had the same problem with GE's top of the line

model. Terrible manufacturing design issue had the chilled water line to the ice maker running directly behind the veg crisper drawers. If the ice maker wasn't used frequently the water supply lines started to freeze and in turn that froze any fresh produce near the back of the drawers. I literally had to thaw the lines with a hair dryer.

I have since replace that fridge with another supposedly best model that only freezes the valve assembly that feeds the ice maker. I'm 73, disabled and I shouldn't have be on my hands and knees trying to make DIY repairs with my ancient hair dryer that I only use to dry the cats after a bath.

Crappy appliances are very expensive in more ways than one.

10. I am impressed by anyone who can bathe a cat and live to tell the tale. n/t

[procon]

12. It's an art, to be sure.

I've had some cats that like water and had a great time getting bathed. They trust me and I try to make bath time a stress free activity and I never rush or forcibly restrain them so there's not too much of a struggle. The round eyed, soulful looks and plaintive wails of protest are heartbreaking... I know they do it in purpose!

I generally only bathe them in the spring when they start shredding to help remove all the extra hair. Although one time I accidently spilled some olive oil in my poor cat just as she flopped down in front of me.

What a mess, and Dawn dish soap is just as effective in removing olive oil on housecats as it is in cleaning crude oil from wild critters.

15. It needed a new gasket for starters.

It came with the house 8 years ago.

At this point, replacing it seemed like a better idea than repairing it.

16. Sounds good, in the future if you buy at Costco you can have THEM pick it up and return

it for ANY reason first 90 days, then they extend the mfg warranty a year if you use the costco visa to buy it.

Or not, just mentioning for everyone to know about.

[In_The_Wind]

17. I almost looked at what deals BJ's had to offer.

The power blinks off here more than I care for thus the extended warranty.

Costcos is about 80 miles from my home. I haven't been there in a few years. Maybe I'll do some shopping at Costco after I have the gasket replaced on our large freezer.

[Eliot Rosewater]

19. Yeah, forget where the store is go to COSTCO.COM

They deliver for free and if you dont want it, they pick it up for free.

Beds
Appliances

you name it, and the 90 days only applies to electronics, everything else NO LIMIT...

Costco.com from now on, trust me.

[rzemanfl]

9. Yeah, at your house.

Good 4U.

[In_The_Wind]

18. I'm stocking up for the future.

I should add a few different cases of beer to my shopping list.

Thanks

[Aristus]

23. Beer! Now you're talking!

[In_The_Wind]

24. Best excuse for tossing out all the old knickknacks.

[a kennedy]

11. Our fridge is on it's last legs......noises like I've never heard before......

gonna be looking for a new one as well.

[In_The_Wind]

20. Try the sales going on now if you can.

[MissB]

13. Yay!

I replaced my kitchen fridge right before things shut down. Like the week before. They brought it into the kitchen, leveled it, took all the tape and plastic off and cleaned the outside.

Last month, I had to replace my basement fridge. They dropped it into place and leveled it and said goodbye.

I actually did not enjoy peeling plastic off the outside. Missed some tape inside too.

[In_The_Wind]

21. Did you buy the 2nd fridge at the same place as your 1st one?

If so - complain. Maybe you can catch a discount on future purchases.

[MissB]

22. No. And it was all about social distancing and limiting time in people's homes

So I totally understood why there was a difference.
