My biggest fear right now are the words... "I'll have to call the manufacturer to see if they can send me replacement parts."

High Tech blows.


I understand your trepidation and frustration...a while back when my dryer needed to be replaced, I was initially wooed by all the hi tech machines with all the bells and whistles...but as soon as I started reading about how many of these machines experience breakdowns due to problems with the computer boards and electronics I steered cleared and settled on a Maytag with mechanical knobs. No problems.


I'd be shoving my Christmas Tree into the fire place right now... if it wasn't plastic.


:hehe: Oh dear.

As I sit here waiting for the furnace guy to arrive, to see if he can get my two year old, high tech, energy saving, 10 thousand dollar furnace... to turn on!


Man, that stinks!!

Stay warm, Geez! :patpat:

[singing]It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas![/singing]

The storm dumped a decent amount of snow on us last night! It was hell of a drive in to work. Good times, good times.

It should help...and it's all natural, so I can't imagine it would do anything to worsen your condition if you don't get the results your looking for, but honestly I am quite certain it'll help.

And no wind. :victory:
