You should have asked for a demonstration before you paid.
I can always count on Andy for a laugh, even if it is at my expense

I come in from raking leaves and need a dadgum energy drink to get the top off my dadburn Gatorade bottle.
I bought a crank pencil sharpener and it took me ten minutes to get the dadgum thing out of the dadburn plastic packaging.
Once again I am reminded of the Samuel Clemens quote, "The trouble with common sense is that it isn't nearly common enough."A few years ago Home Hardware (A Canadian company) advertised these multipurpose scissors and one of their main features was cutting through those plastic pockets that are impossible to get into.....so guess what the scissors were packaged in?
I just blew up my hand blender! Sparks, flame, smoke! I'm sad! This was the very first kitchen appliance I ever had! That and a coffee grinder. WAAAAAAA!
Bummer.I just blew up my hand blender! Sparks, flame, smoke! I'm sad! This was the very first kitchen appliance I ever had! That and a coffee grinder. WAAAAAAA!
Bummer.
How old was it?
They got really cool ones now, with attachments. Mine has a whisk and a mini-food processor.

I really liked my Braun, but I like my Cuisinart even better.I had a braun and it was the best one that I have ever owned, gave it to a friend. My cuisinart works fine, but that braun was tough!

Just remember, the next one you buy will not last that long! They don't make anything that lasts 25 years anymore (except maybe a marriage and half of you would argue that one).
How many sticks of dynamite did it take?
Truly sorry, Alix! It stinks to lose something you've had for so long.
Thank You so much PF, Addie and Kades Pretty sure it's not the meds, there is a bug going around. My kids both had it too but it only lasted a day with them, they're both tough as nails lol! I've managed to raise very healthy kids, they hardly ever get sick and when they do it doesn't last longer than a day or 2!
I'm a bit better today, had some coffee an hour ago and so far so good. Going to make a slice of toast with marmite now.

Alix said:I KNOW! They don't build 'em to last anymore. Phooey. I won't argue the marriage thing either. Mine's 19 and counting.
Smart ass. Thanks PF. I loved that thing. I bet I used it at least once or twice a week for SOMETHING.
Hope you are feeling even better today Snip xx
