The Sound Guy

Depending on what the cubes look like, if it was me, I'd replace stuff myself. It's either the filter, the control valve or the thermostat. Judging from my last experence with repair guys, you'll have the entire icemaker replaced if there is any sense that it might be bad, they don't want to come back so they will replace the entire thing as well as anything else they can charge for. The whole icemaker assembly is $170 at Sears. You will also pay for 2 service calls, one to check it then one a week later to install the parts. So figure $300 or so minimum. More if they want to re

Yea, we got a "top of the line" GE dual convection oven when we built this house in 2000. I've started buying door switches in bulk because they burn out every couple of years on the upper (convection) oven. As well, we had 4 years of issues with the computer that three different repair guys couldn't figure out until I noticed that under the main oven was a *second* cooling fan, one that had a piece of tape on it that prevented it from turning, I assume from the day it came out of the factory. My In-laws had a gas wall oven in their house that was the same one when they moved two year

If the cubes are small, I agree it could be flow, but if they are hollow, it seems like they are being ejected before the ice is completely frozen and the unfrozen water is sliding back into the icemaker, leaving a hollow ice cube. Here is the Sears partsmart diagram of the ice maker. Thermostat is part 15 and is $26 + shipping.

Are the cubes stuck together in the tray, like they were ejected while still wet? Sounds kinda like the sensor that detects the ice has completely frozen is triggering too early.

Yea, I have my carry permit, but only use it so I can carry my pistol when I'm hunting Muzzleloader season. I've not been anywhere (except Waterbury CT many years ago) that I felt I really needed it.

Oh yea, one more thing, was it a real job with withholding and social security paid out or a job as a "contractor" My daughter coached at West Metro for a summer and the pay was as a "Contractor", so she ended up paying Social security tax on the income when we filed.

What's the difference between an orange? A Telephone pole, because motorcycles don't have doors!! Of course!

I think the legal definition of dependent is if you supply over half of their "support". I just always assume I do since I supply car, gas, summer room and board, clothing, car insurance, health insurance and enough food for an army when they are all at home.

I've got 2 still in college and one finally out. Note I'm not a tax expert,but this is what Turbotax and I worked out. I have always filed their income one their own return. They can claim the standard deduction, but *you* claim him as a dependent and get the exemption. For under $3K of income or so, they will get all their withholding back anyway with the deduction. He should be sent a form from the school for tuition expenses. It will also have any scholarships such as HOPE and other grants on it. As long as he is a dependent of yours, you file the form on your taxes. With

Sigh, any of the big telecommunication corporations have the same issues. They expect Customer Service to be a profit center, not something you do to keep the customer happy. idiots. I called AT&T to discuss a payment on my DSL account after we switched to Uverse. We got that straighten out and then the sales pitch started. "Upgrade your cell internet to 30 Gigs for no more than you are paying now!" "Nothing extra?" I ask. "Same price, but limited time offer" she tells me. So I say sure. Next bill has $60 worth of extra charges for the additional bandwidth. $%^&*@#$

It's private property, if the owners want to sell, that is their privilege. It's called ownership. Those who loved the building should have banded together to buy it and then they could have done whatever they wanted to with it.

Heard a lot in the news about the Swiss franc jumping but hadn't heard about the climb in the dollar. Since oil is priced in dollars still, part of the drop in oil prices can be traced to the higher power of the dollar as well as supply and demand. Source However, it makes employment less certain here, by making goods made in America more expensive. Importers can get their goods cheaper and cheaper as the dollar climbs, while internal costs remain the same. That will add up to costly job losses as demand drops. As well, it impacts earnings at those companies that try to

We just keep getting claims against my insurance from doctors we never heard of against my daughter. It appears it's damn near impossible to stop someone from making claims against your insurance as long as they have the insurance information. Pain in the butt.

Hmmm... looks like a baseball bat might pass...

This has been one of my concerns of voting for someone who is a one hot topic wonder. Yea, we don't like professional politicians, but there are limits to their powers and someone who doesn't have a clue how government works getting in a position of power can really screw up the works and waste a lot of time attempting to do something that can't be done.

What's your delivery area?

Well it comes down to what does the government consider the "creation" of a job? When the opening appears, or when it's filled and a worker starts getting paid? If the latter, then indeed the "creation" of the job was triggered when someone who wouldn't work while getting "free" money from the govt took one of the many jobs that were available but unfilled when the benefits finally ran out.

Only one of them????

Agree with Gone, the Pellet guns of the last few years are much different than the BB guns of my youth, even the Daisy 880. I've got one my dad game me, will kick the pellet at close to the speed of a .22 short. Check out your options before buying. For me, I look for a pellet only, rifled barrel for an accurate rifle.

I'd say it was more about power than money, as they could make just as much money by saying that climate change is coming, we can't stop it, and we need to xxxx and yyyy to get ready for it and make sure they owned companies (or stock thereof) that did xxxx and yyyy. They are just hitching the climate change locomotive to the existing train trying to pull people to do what the libs think everyone should.

From what I've heard, the law is: Now when my tree fell in a neighbor's yard during Opal, I got permission to enter his yard and cleaned it up and removed it myself to be neighborly. (I was lucky, it didn't break anything on the way down)

I'd like to see what a climate scientist is defined.

I just put icons for most of my most used programs on one side of the desktop and ignore the start menu for the most part.

And that is the argument that the liberals/greenies don't want to have.... because they can't prove it. They in their pride assume that only Mankind could cause such a major change, therefore, only Mankind can fix it. Two glaring bad assumptions there: 1) Mankind is the only cause of climate change 2) The process is reversible if we stop doing whatever it is that we are doing. They would have us spend billions trying to fix something that *might not be fixable*. At the end of it, we are broke, our industries in ruin and we have flooded Florida anyway and millions along the co

Been a while since my kids' last Science Fair Projects, but man I believe this one.
