We had our six month check up by the heat/air guy. Our furnaces are "builder grade" and seemingly on their last legs now that they are twelve. We hope they make it through the Christmas holiday so we don't all have to decamp to the Embassy Suites. The furnace humidifier - well he has never seen one this old and he doesn't have parts. When did furnaces start dying when they hit the 12 year mark. The washer died at 10 and the maintenance contract folks declared it not worth fixing.
Last night I got together with some girl friends and there was the general agreement that pre-lit (no allergy) trees lasted 3 - 5 years and outside tree lights - well after 3 years it was the hunt for the burned out bulb game. The throw away generation crept up on me. We sat around like old dinasouresses and reminisced about the artificial trees where you assembled them branch by branch and then added the lights. Our younger companions reminded us that now with LED lights they lasted longer, and with the flick of the remote could change the lights from white to red to blinking, etc, etc. I am officially obsolete.
