Old Age Day by Day January 3, 2013

Well, yesterday we kind of lost our minds.  We looked at two places for refrigerators, and the ones with better consumer reports were ten thousand dollars.  We could buy a good car for that.  We got home and sunk into despair.  We got on our pajamas and went to bed and talked in the dark, and when I asked my husband what time it was it was 7:15 pm.  We started laughing, got up, I made spagetti and meatballs which we ate in our pjs, and then he worked on his puzzle and I read.  We are trapped in either getting a crappy new refrigerator or a better one with a life span of ten years.  The warranties are for one year.  Evidently, if you need a refrig that is inset, you must pay as if it is made out of gold.  And they all look exactly alike and cause no thrills.  I was hoping refusing to buy another SubZero would lessen the cost, but no, not really.  These refrigerators are built to self destruct almost immediately, and there is not a darned thing you can do about it.  Welcome to the disposable culture.

I was threatening to put a cooler in the recess all yesterday, and trying to figure out in my mind if I could live without a refrigerator.  I was willing to try.  But today we will probably order one of these ripoffs, and that will be that.  It gets the blood boiling, for sure.
