Well, my day just crashed! $125 to replace the light in my microwave! Unbelievable!

Christ, wouldn't you almost be better off replacing the microwave at that point?

 

[ohverbatum7]

Unless it's a super duper Micro, you can buy a new one for less than that!

 

[sexyblonde2015]

I'm thinking about it!

It was an expensive one ($600) and matches the rest of the appliances: GE Cafe. All stainless. MrSB doesn't know yet what the cost is.

 

[ohverbatum7]

I am a mean Scot, a microwave with grille is cheap, a combination oven can be bought in UK for £130.
Sod the aesthetics!

I hate buying warrants. However, it may be a good buy since the appliances of today do not seem to last. At least with a warranty you can replace the appliance. We had a home service and it worked well for us until we cashed in a refrigerator and washing machine. Then they jumped out fee.

We have a new house and bought matching appliances with a warranty. We'll see how this works out.

Okay, that's a rough one-especially if it's a relatively new machine. Still, shameful that it's that expense to replace a light.

MrSB said screw the lightbulb. We'll use it without. Which i knew we would do.

It pisses me out (there is a story behind that term) that GE builds these things this way. Don't they know that lightbulbs burn out?!?


Story...MrSB had an older Asian woman employee. She would go into his office and say: "they pissed me out" or "I'm pissed out". lol... He's tease her but it stuck. Now we say pissed out!

Fixing microwave

Hi SB,

My hubby is pretty good with his hands, (yes, in many areas ), and can fix most anything. He has started to check on YouTube to see how to fix things and usually finds great info. Even if he's done it before, he checks to see if someone else has come up with a better idea or a new shortcut. He's even posted a few himself.

I'm not sure if that's any help, but thought I would throw it out there. Those things piss me out too!

Katie

Ps

You look stunning in those pics and the scenery is heavenly.

Katie

 

[sexyblonde2015]

KatieBoff....Thank you! I looked all over Youtube and found nothing. Went to GE's site to look for repair manuals. Nothing. GE does now want you to do this!

Is pissed off not used in the US?

 

[sexyblonde2015]

Ohverbatum... Yes, pissed off is used all the time here. MrSB and I say pissed out because that's what his employee used to say and I think it's cute.

It must be difficult to remain serious when you are pissed out.

 

[ohverbatum7]

It's funny how some urban slang can vary from country to country, in the UK we use the term " It costs an arm and a leg", meaning a prohibitive price, (a bit like your light replacement) He worked with a German Company and they had never heard the expression, and fell about laughing, it gained every day usage among the staff, only they started speaking of two arms and a leg.
I bet your sorry you ever mentioned the light bulb.

If you're "pissed out", you don't have to worry about laughing hysterically and peeing in your pants. Not that SB ever wears any.

 

[sexyblonde2015]

Ohverbatum.....I use that term too!

Skowt....that's true!

Hairball....lol...it is. I so seldom ever get angry...just pissed out. Then MrSB makes me laugh and it all goes away.

What are other sayings that any of you use?

Oh! My mother loves to say: I'd rather owe it to you than cheat you out of it! lol

Flasher...

Flashlight it is then...
Or with that stunning body of yours... Flash the repair man... I'm thinking free installation from there...

 

[sexyblonde2015]

ohverbatum....Those are all great sayings! I LOVE the one about you're talking nonsense. MrSB says that to me all the time! I'm going to practice that one!

So a friend found how to fix the lightbulb on a site called IFixIt. Looks like a pain the the "arse" so not sure we'll try it but I really appreciate him trying as well as other's who have offered. Thanks!

Pats-Steelers Bet Payment

Well SB, don't ever let it be said that this Steelers fan does not pay up on his bets, and then some (3 photos). Photo quality is lacking slightly, but unlike yourself, I do not have a pro camera man at my disposal.

So here is to your (& Mr. SB's) Patriots beating my Steelers last Sunday.

UglyJoe...Yes you did! Awesome shots! Thank you!!! Great job!!!

 

[uglyjoesmith1]

They are not as hot as your sexy photos, but not bad for an old guy.

I will consider our bet paid.

Same bet again for the Superbowl? I will take the Falcons, who are my second favourite team (favourite NFC). Interested?

One of the Falcons colors is black as well. You must wear those socks!

Hi everyone!

Thanks for the fun chitchat today!

I scanned over 300 photos today! Some were of my ancestors and I thought I'd share one.

lol...I think it will be obvious which one it is. Taken in Sweden in the late 1700's I think.

The rest are beach photos!
