Addendum:

Nucky!

I forgot to include this part when I wrote about you in Post #35:

In addition to recognizing your negotiating skills, I also want to say thank you for being aware of how it is for those who must interact with a range of personality types when trying to do their jobs — from a powerless position.

When you said you gave those delivery guys a drink of water and a tip, I thought — of course — that is the decent thing to do and Nucky knows it.

I have lately noticed how somewhat surprised those in service jobs seem to be when treated well. I once had a mover tell me that I would not believe how many people do not offer them even a drink of water as they work their tails off all day. Actually, that did not surprise me at all.

And don’t get me started on how some people treat servers. (I think everybody should be a server at some point in their lives.)

But, I digress.

Anyway, Nucky, kudos to you for knowing how to treat others.

PS: Back on topic: We have bought two French door refrigerators, one at home and one in the Florida house. One an Electrolux and one an LG. Both had ice-maker problems, repeatedly. The Electrolux was eventually replaced. The LG was finally fixed by a local guy who knew how to rig the part to actually work.

Anybody who has an older appliance should go give it a big hug right now. Those who wrote here about built in obsolescence are absolutely correct. (I will say, I still love my Speed Queen washer and dryer, bought from a Mom & Pop store up north.)
