Same here. Not very many new cars available either.

Yeah, but what you're talking about isn't relevant.

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. Okay with you?

She probably isn't either, so goodness knows how she would even know
about the car market.

Nothing in any of my replies even implied that buying a new refrigerator
wasn't okay with me. I wrote:

Isn't that clear that if you can't buy the part you can't fix it? And have
to buy a new one.

Clear. That's why I wrote I bought a new one.

Did you consider just repairing it? BWAH HAH HAH HAH.
 
You will probably save a lot in energy cost by replacing a 20 year old
appliance. It will pay for itself in a few years.

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.

Or maybe even later, depending on the way energy prices go.

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.

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.

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.

I never liked Bologna at all. When we were kids, were were fed
Mortadella. My parents weren't into child abuse.

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.

Wanna bet? I come from 2nd Generation Germany Kuthe stock, and we Kuthes are long livers. I kicked MS' ass, I can live to be close to 100! I don't smoke, drink alcohol and I exercise! My father bicycled as exercise well into his 80's and was the oldest rider in his last RAGBRAI ride across Iowa! I mowed my whole lawn today, and I'm eating some food/fuel before I Nordictrack this evening!
 
And I'm back on my WinXP box now, immune to surveillance capitalism! What OS YOU running? ;-)

Whatcha wanna bet? 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.

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?

Nope, not refrigerated. I did add some lightly sauteed (thawed from
frozen) Patagonian scallops to make it into more of a "seafood"
casserole. Quite tasty.
