That's a Safety Feature I Didn't Know About
Comments (12)When we renovated our kitchen two years ago, I kept our electric built in oven, but bought a gas cook top. I went to a home improvement box, and the clerk swore they didn't make pilot light gas cook tops anymore, so I grabs his catalogue and found it, of course. He moans and groans and says he'll have to order it, and I assure him I'm fine with that, thankyouverymuch. Here's what I've noticed about appliances, vacuums, sewing machines and the like in the last couple decades. Used to be the very stripped down simple basic models were heavy and well made, just not as fancy. You paid for the extras. Now, they all come with extras whether you want them or not, and have replaced the glass and metal components with cheezy plastic wherever they could get away with it and just overall cheapened up the quality of the units. I took a sweeper back to the big "S" store I'd bought and used once. The belt broke, no big deal, but I looked at it to replace it and it was little more than a large rubber band. There was an alien repair man on duty and I showed it to him, once I got past the clerk with the attitude and he didn't speak much English. He looks at what I am showing him, sucks in his breath and says that's a piece of ............... you fill in the blank because I can't repeat that word here. LOL.

Comments (4)My daughter was sending my granddaughter's replacement social security card and some other paper via UPS and didn't want it delivered to her new apartment, not being sure what the correct procedure was there, so she had her pick it up at the UPS office, which is just down the block. That cost $5 extra!...See More2ManyDiversions
