I know what you said. What I said was the replacement part is no longer available. The refrigerator side is warm and I don't want to have to keep futzing with it. So I'm getting a new refrigerator.

Nothing in any of my replies even implied that buying a new refrigerator wasn't okay with me. I wrote: >The defrost heater has died. A simple fix. I once did it myself.

Maybe even sooner, depending on the way energy prices go. About 10 years ago my insurance company made me get a new oil tank, and that cost me about $2500. A few weeks after the new tank was in the gas company brought a NG line down our street for the new house being built across the road.... so they paid for that 1/2 mile long line. They told me I could hook up for free. Having just spend a bundle on a new oil tank I wanted to get some use out of it. At the time, I was on equal billing at $300 per month for 10 months. I kept the oil for two years before taking advantage of switching to high efficiency NG furnace and NG hot water. I switched to monthly payments. My biggest bill the first winter was February, $142. If I scrapped that brand new tank without every filling it I would have saved paid only about 1/3 of the cost of oil and saved enough to pay for the new furnace. The payback time was much shorted than I had dreamed. |

| Don Wiss <donwiss@no_spam.com>: Aug 09 08:39PM -0400 >Clear. That's why I wrote I bought a new one. I posted as you described the problem clearly, you failed to state what part it was that you couldn't buy. Most people don't have service contracts on their refrigerator. As a dead defrost heater is probably the second most common affliction of self-defrost refrigerators and freezers -- after ice makers -- people here should recognize the problem and its fix. Some may be ambitious enough, like I, to search the web for a parts list, get the part number, and search to buy it. But even if not, knowing the cause of the problem protects one against a service person that is trying to take advantage of the customer. Don. www.donwiss.com (e-mail link at home page bottom). |

This was on my FB newsfeed. https://www.flickr.com/photos/15522299@N08/50207480472/in/dateposted-public/ Fried bologna was already on my sandwich list this week. Perhaps you're buying that mechanically-separated poultry bologna and not good bologna. Nothing wrong with good beef or beef+pork bologna. You sound as kooky as John whining about foods you don't like. Definitely kookier than Julie - her MO doesn't include announcing stuff in thread-starters out of the blue like this. -sw |

Pass the mustard! I remember back in the early 60s being fed BBQ grilled slices of bologna. We thought it was pretty good. It was better than hot dogs. |

The local salumeria has had their mortadella w/ pistachios on sale for $2.49/# for the past few weeks. It's great, but I'm about mortadellaed out for a while. https://www.volpifoods.com/products/classics/mortadella-with-pistachio/ --Bryan "Urethra. The word is urethra.

Do tell me what is *inside* my house that isn't powered by electricity. Can't be the computer. LOL I *can* tell you something I have outside my house that you don't. Solar powered lights. They charge up during the day, turn themselves on at dusk near the front door and out back. They turn themselves off again four hours later and recharge when the sun comes up. Gee, I think I just beat you at your "electricity" claim. Jill |

Here comes Sheldon, the expert on seafood even though he never cooks or eats it. Is it at least the "lightly pasteurized" and refrigerated crabmeat? -sw |

I did add some lightly sauteed (thawed from frozen) Patagonian scallops to make it into more of a "seafood" casserole. Quite tasty. Jill |
