Samsung Fridges- How awful are they?
Comments (4)Recently I did some research on main stream refrigerators such as the Samsung. Refrigerators are complex machines so things will go wrong. #1 repair is ice makers. Because things will go wrong, factor in the cost and availability of repairparts. Next factor in customer service (see Facebook group). I think there is no perfect refrigerator for those of us with budgets. Stay away from too many bells and whistles like Wi-fi and inventory control. Just more to fail. I came to the conclusion that repairs (unlike Mom’s frig that lasted 15 years) are just the price of ownership. Sad but true. My 2019 LG malfunctioned 1 month after purchase because a software update didn't automatically update. You referred to 2014 Consumer Reports. This info is too old for comparison of an electrical product. The best way to determine quality is to call several repair shops and ask what manufacturers they repair less frequently. The extent of Samsung’s quality issue (above) eliminates it from my list!...See MoreGeez, really?? meno-related jaw/tooth pain?
Comments (23)THank you all so much for writing...it's been a roller-coaster of a day...I called the dentist back and said that it was worse than ever, not subsiding, just growing -- he folded and referred me to an endodontist, but I couldn't call them until after 5, so I won't know if I can be seen until tomorrow morning. By around 5:30 as I was driving DD to orchestra, it finally HIT so bad I was ready to go to an ER. I was sweating, panting from the pain, and felt faint...oh my gosh it was bad and just getting worse...luckily DH met me at the orchestra place and he drove me at first to a dental ER, but I REFUSED to let them see me because it seemed so shady (weirdly, I got definite vibes not to let them near me, and the weirdness was confirmed by the completely inappropriate behavior of the people behind the desk and the questions on the registration sheet -- how many medical offices make you write the name of your "Financial Institution" and warn you about the fee if you don't call within 24 hours of your next appointment before even handing you the *long* registration form??! but I digress)...by then I had given in and taken an extra half tramadol, just because I was going completely insane with the pain. I would categorize it as the second worst pain I've ever felt--first being childbirth. But I think the tramadol what did the trick because in about 45 minutes I was living again, doing errands with DH while we waited for DD. I can feel it's coming back again now, but I know now how to control it until tomorrow morning. jbrig, thank you for the clarification -- you're right, I was being too broad-brush and ended up just being wrong -- I think I was thinking of the prostaglandin-inhibiting and the anti-inflammatory effects of ibuprofen (or at least that's what I had been told). Thanks for correcting me. Funny that you should mention the tramadol/flexeril, because those are what I take -- the tramadol in the daytime for fibro and the flexeril at night (low dose, as a muscle relaxer as you mention). camlan, WOW...that's scary...how did they end up finding it? Do you have complete resolution now and you're pain-free? And Pat, I'm sorry to hear you've had that situation for years...I can only imagine what it must be like for that long. Could TN2 include the feeling that teeth are about to explode? INTENSE ache? I'll bring it up with the endodontist tomorrow. I can feel a tooth throbbing now, starting the wind-up. I really appreciate your all's understanding, help and good wishes so much. I'll post back about the endodontist. THANK YOU!...See MoreOh Geez! Who Knew?
Comments (20)The company is Just Born and they are very active in the community, supporting many events and organizations. One of the 4 desserts my SIL brought to Easter (for 6 people!), was a package of Oreos with Peep filling. They were vanilla cookies with a hot pink filling. IDK what they tasted like, I don't waste calories on prepackaged cookies. Like the milk, there is a market for these items, I'm not in that market but millions are. Years ago, I did like stale Peeps. My MIL still buys me packages for Easter. I haven't eaten them in 20+ years but there's no stopping or altering the gift train. I accept them graciously and send them into my husband's office....See MoreOh geez, saw a Medium perform last night
Comments (33)As a little boy, my DH lived in China, and one day, while in his grandmother's care, they visited a 'soothsayer.' She was a woman from their rural village, who was supposedly gifted with visions of the future. She told DH's grandmother that DH would move far from China, and travel across a great ocean, before he was an adult. He would marry a 'ghost lady,' (that is what they called a Caucasian female) and have 3 children. She said he would have a boy, then a girl, then a boy. DH's grandmother was also told that DH's 2 sons would look like 'ghost fellows' but his daughter would look just like her great grandmother. This all seemed very far fetched, as no one in DH's family, having always lived in their remote village in China, had ever crossed a 'great ocean' before, and DH said he'd never even seen a Caucasian before, (until after he left China.) Well, 6 years later, DH and another family member escaped from Communist China, to Macau. Then 7 years later, he ended up moving here at age 16, to attend a boarding school, so he could learn English, and then get his college education here. So in fact, he did move far from China, by crossing a great ocean, before he was an adult. We met in our 20's and married. We had 3 kids, boy, girl, boy. Sure enough, I gave birth to sons who somehow exclusively inherited my (Irish) looks. Only our daughter looks Asian, but she doesn't resemble DH. She is however, the spitting image of DH's grandmother. It makes the skeptic in me concede, that perhaps some people actually are clairvoyant....See More
