It was fixed again and I am gloriously happy that is still working while we are away in Palm Springs.
However, I would love to have you share with me the wonderful moment that I had when I came into my Palm Springs condo at midnight when I arrived here a few days ago. Just imagine if you will the true disgustingness that is a refrigerator that probably stopped working right after our friends left here a little over 3 weeks ago. Oh yes, the mold, mildew and the 'thank God that smell stayed inside the appliance and didn't permeate the whole place' aroma of said dead refrigerator was truly unbelievable. We set our thermostat to only kick on the A/C if the temp rises over 85 degrees when we are away, so yeah let your imagination run wild on this one...
We were able to get a new one here in less than 24 hours and they gladly hauled the old one away for free- so yay!!!! All's well that ends well. But come on, you know your week wouldn't be complete without a good old testing of your gag reflexes...
So yeah, in the end I realized that it was a pretty old refridgerator (-OK, not quite as old as the one in the picture below) so I probably might have seen this coming, but dang I am so done with stuff that is supposed to stay cold that doesn't!

Refrigerators can be a pain and often a health hazard. Then they are sent to a landfill and contaminate the earth even more. I remember ice boxes. There was a pan underneath that had to be empties perhaps once a day or every other day. In rushing for church on Sunday morning we often forgot to empty the pan and we'd be sitting in church and my mother would say, "My god, the pan." (I'm sure people thought she was praying) and my brother would have to run home and empty the pan.
ReplyDeleteThis is too funny! What a picture I have in my mind of that scenario.
DeleteI feel bad about the fridge being a source of toxicity, but hey I woke up in the middle of the night with an asthma attack over it, so it had to go!
This winter is predicted to be unseasonably cold. Woohoo!
ReplyDeleteOK, you got me with the upcoming expected cold winter. You know I won't like that either!
DeleteWhat a pain! I can only imagine the smell... yuck!
ReplyDeleteYup, nothing worse that I can think of coming upon after a very long day of driving and just wanting to go to sleep.
DeleteThe only thing that would have been worse is if one of our friends had come upon that dang fridge!
