ditto klem1 Diagnose first, then decide repair or replace....unless you'd like a new machine anyway. New machines are nice, but your description makes me suspect simple/cheap repair would do it. Do you like the machine when it's working as it used to?

Kat, what desk top calendar? I never knew, there was one. My organizer/scheduler is my "desk top calendar". :) I saw it on my sisters computer in France. Loved it, but wanted it in English, to work for me here in Oklahoma. Since they can be had in German and English, I downloaded it. Like I said, I LOVE it. I have the scheduler set up to show three days worth, and it is in the lower left hand corner of my desk top. Middle left I have time zones, to show me the local time for where my loved ones live, right middle I have this month, and next month calendar for reference. In the middle of my screen I have the newest picture of my baby grand daughter of course. :) Moni

Hi Kat from WA, Did anyone, when dealing with you, claim that you were a card? (That should be dealt with!?) ole joyful

I read once that fresh turkeys are kept at 28 degrees in storage, and that is very cold and arrests decomposition. You refrigerator at home is probably at 45 degrees. Keep in mind that it is WATER that freezes at 32 degrees. Fat freezes at a much lower temperature as do other things like alcohols. So, sticking a fresh turkey in storage at 28 degrees won't freeze it solid, but you may get some water crystals on and within it. Makes Sense?
