rotten fridge :(

Good Morning Everyone -

I  hope this entry is finding you all if not absolutely wonderful then at least somewhat happy !

 

Things are going ok here - usual life drama as it is for most everyone on any given day/night  lol.  The "b/f" situation is still going on, might as well resign myself to the fact she is going to be here for a few more months.  It's just the way it is & there's nothing I can do to change it except wish she could win or inherit about $10,000 so she could buy a house sooner LOL. No, I didn't mean that spitefully - just ready for Cindy and I to have our home back to ourselves.

The "boys" are doing great, they are so sweet and loving AND mischievous mind you, they are definitely NOT angels.

 

Our refrigerator went out on Sunday, we didn't discover it till Sunday night when I went in to get some ice cream and it was liquid (sigh) we had to get rid of all the meat because it was ruined (from the freezer part) and yesterday got a cooler put some ice in it for the rest of it - had the repairman out yesterday and he discovered the there was a freon leak and the fridge was toast.  The thing is the fridge is not even a year old, we got it at Sears - a Kenmore side by side.  Luckily it was still under warranty.  There is a whole story behind this happening  lol - it was a couple of events that lead to it.  About 3 weeks ago, the house next door caught fire and burned down; well, the fire hydrant is right by our driveway so they were using that and it caused a water pressure drop while they were using it & after that happened the ice maker quit working correctly - took us two weeks to get someone out here to look at the ice maker (from Sears), he (the repairman) came last Monday, replaced the ice maker and we thought that was the end of our problem...NOT...the new ice maker never even worked right from the beginning <should have given us a clue>. So, we called Sears and found out someone wouldn't be able to get out here again till the 20th of this month - fine, we could subsist on ice brought from the store. THEN on Sunday night as I said I went to get some ice cream out of the freezer and viola! it was mush  :(  THAT was when I realized that the meat in the freezer was thawing, if not completely thawed out :( None of us had had a reason to go into the freezer for anything for the exception of getting ice from the bag of ice from the store, we hadn't thought to check that kind of thing.  SO anyway, Cindy was very angry about it and the first thing she did was to call Sears Service Dept. to demand someone get out here first thing yesterday because we had to throw out all the stuff in the freezer, it was ruined.  Someone finally got here about 2 p.m. and he checked the freezer and found out about the freon leak. To cut a long story short - we wound up having to get a new fridge after Cindy went down to Sears and chewed their ears off then spit them out...they told her that the fridge that we had they had discontinued carrying and that if we got another like approximately the same we would have to pay the difference -wrong thing to tell Cindy at that moment LOL. Needless to say, we got another fridge without it costing us a cent & they will be out today to install a new one.  They (Sears) didn't even offer to cover any of the costs of the meat and other things lost during this fiasco (about $700 worth).  No way in Hades were they going to get away with attempting to charge us for anything when it was a defect on their part i.e. Kenmore.  Besides it was still under warranty.

 

Okay, that's enough for me for now... I hope to write again soon and again, I hope all is well with all of you!
