"Goodbye, technology... hello, durable goods. Fug."
Fug.
For Christmas, I *was* going to surprise myself this year with a Handspring Visor, maybe with a W***ows XP upgrade, maybe some more clothes for work. What a difference a day makes.
My clothes dryer can no longer regulate it's temperature. When I went to pull clothes from the dryer the other day, they were so hot I couldn't touch them. After pulling the back and top off the unit to be sure it wasn't a lint buildup issue, I jotted down the model and serial numbers, went upstairs and looked online for parts info. The schematic drawing for the model was dated February, 1974.
Holy Shit. My washer and Dryer are 27 years old. Consensus between my parents, Markie, and myself: let 'em go, buy new.
So, here it is, less than 2 weeks before Christmas, and I've got to invest in appliances. Fug.

Feh. For starters, Jason, you're absolutely irreplaceable. :)

Can you wait until after the holidays to address them? Maybe get a cheapo financing plan? I've never had to buy heavy equipment before, so I don't know the deal. But yeah, broiled clothing doesn't sound like fun. Jesus, your appliances are older than I am. (Just as long as I don't get replaced when I turn 27, s'all I'm sayin'.)
