    At 9 years old, my son is just on the outward bound of where we can absolutely make him lose his shit for a hundred bucks worth of Pokemon sheets, wall stickers, and a utility strip:




    We did this while he was in school, and when he saw what we had done, it absolutely melted his mind. Like I did when my own parents gave me Star Wars sheets in '81. Most rewarding return on a hundred bucks I've had in years.
    Math is tough. Let's go shopping!

    Hit and miss.

    • Fridge is crooked as all hell. One door is all up, the other all down. makes the drawers look crooked too. LG won't do a damn thing about it.
    • Slide in dual fuel range has had the oven control shaft replaced - f**king plastic part.
    • Dishwasher is just plain weird. Had a hell of a time getting it installed "level" enough to run. Acts up occasionally. Bought an extra year warranty when registered online.


    Love the operations, controls, UI, etc. but concerned about the fit and finish and weird issue with the DW.

    Heard the early linear compressors in the fridge had lots of problems but they're reported to have been worked out.

    FYI, I'm pretty dang sure LG makes all the Whirlpool and Kenmore appliances.

    My 5 year old grandson is like that with Spiderman stuff.

    Or a cardboard box. Depends on the day.

    • Fridge is crooked as all hell. One door is all up, the other all down. makes the drawers look crooked too. LG won't do a damn thing about it. Got the 5 year warranty just in case.

    I generally don't buy into the whole extended warranty thing, but had cause for concern with all the new appliances.

    You should never buy the extended service agreement, because if they will fail, they will fail in the warranty period.

    Tell that to anyone with a diesel truck that uses a Bosch CP4.2 HPP that's at 101K miles...


    P.S. Had a GE washer fail less than 30 days after the warranty. Dryer wasn't far behind. So no GE for me.

    1973 S&W 19-3 Texas Ranger Commemorative. I don't normally care for special editions but this one cost me the same as a same vintage standard 19. No box, etc so it's definitely going to be a shooter. The best action of any Smith I've ever bought. Can't wait to hit the range. This is the gun I asked about filling in the "gold" fill of the crest and barrel lettering that has flaked off. Some of the features include the right side of the trigger guard being trimmed for faster access to the trigger, smooth backstrap for further engraving etc, Texas star in the grips vs the S&W medallion.
