Its very interesting that we so often resist change in our lives, but I can identify with you in this respect - I am dreading having to change my cooking stove sometime too - its at least as old as yours!!

I can so identify with this! My Dad gave us his 20 year old Lazy Boy chair when he got a new one. My husband used it for another 20. No duct tape or anything! It was looking worn, we loaded it up in the back of the truck to take to charity. We were finally going to replace it. We got there & TURNED AROUND in the parking lot without unloading it! We just couldn't do it! It was still a great chair, didn't look too shabby in the den, my Dad had since passed, so that played into it, but it was still so funny! We finally let it go shortly before we moved. The mechanism finally gave up. We still laugh about that trip. Glad you like you 'new' stove!

Change is good, especially when it's a change from "broken" to "working well" and no fuss or new stuff to learn!

It seems to be like that in life. We find something that we like that when it is time to replace it we realize we just cant let it go. I have a car like that every year I say I am going to get a new one but almost 5 years later guess what I still am fixing it and driving it. Thankyou for sharing your blog with us.

Schuckey darned! Here I was excited for you getting a new flat top cook top! But if you're happy I'm elated! Amazing how we perceive what we THINK is the best, when we are finally face-to-face with it, it often seems QUITE different! Either way, I'm glad that you are happy and in hog heaven. Nothing wrong with that picture AT ALL! Have a SPlendid Day Thanks for all the chuckles Linda, you're the best! Report Inappropriate Comment |

We had several electric stoves with coil-type burners, all used, and it was okay. But we had children and I was concerned that they would turn on a burner or touch a hot burner. So when we had the opportunity, we purchased a natural gas stove and I just loved it. If there was no electricity, I could still cook. That stove last almost 18 years but when we remodeled the kitchen, it had serious issues and we replaced it with another gas stove. My point being, it doesn't hurt to be frugal and yours was easily repaired. You don't have to adjust to a new stove. I'd keep the BIL around for all the little fix-its! Report Inappropriate Comment |
It has been a long time since neither of us had to have any work done!
WooHoo! Only have to pay for the cleanings!!

Good for you! You must both have been flossing and brushing AND having enough good luck not to fall into the "not fair but it happens" percentages!

Great! Good for both of you. Healthy eating may have helped, you know. Ironically, I went to the dentist today, too. Mine was almost as good as yours! Report Inappropriate Comment |
