The Oven Saga

YNB: Capt, don’t you think you should get a new oven since yours is not even working properly and it’s gas and could explode or something? I mean, I burn everything I bake because the thermostat is broken, I don’t even know if I’m putting it on broil, bake or self-clean!

Capt: Nah, maybe I’ll just replace this knob at Home Depot. (30 miles away)

[So off we go on Sunday, right after church still in our Sunday clothes (which gives me the creeps because that place is so dusty and dirty)]

Looking, looking, looking.

Capt: Do you know the brand of oven I have?

YNB: “Obsolete”

Capt: Very funny.

We go home without the knob.

Capt: Hey, maybe I’ll look for a new knob on the computer.

Looking, looking, looking.

Capt: Hey Babe, I can’t find the knob on the internet.

YNB: Have you tried, Antiques dot com?

Capt: Very funny.

Doesn't that just drive you IN SANE!! Are determined to:
- find where they're going without asking
- fix the derelict until it's nothing but bondo and duct tape and even then, heh, it still works
- keep the circa 80's furniture 'cause after wall "what's wrong with it"

I agree with Lala - the world over, they're all the same
