(This Is Not My Fridge)
(this fridge costs 2700 smackaroos)
Something smells funny in my new fridge.
All of these not-made-to-last appliances are overpriced. Every one of them. Already, the handle to the freezer door won’t stay on and the freezer-light mechanism does not always properly activate.
But that smell. I have not yet put a box of baking soda in the fridge. Maybe that will help.
My friend back in Kent, Ohio said they had a bad smell in the house.
She was playing the Ouija (©) and it said something about kitchen sink or sponge and kitchen cabinet or sponge under sink (I’ve never played, so I don’t know how much it can spell out). Or maybe she asked a psychic what the smell was and the psychic told her remove the sponge that is under the kitchen sink.
Anyway, she removed a sponge (which she says was new and odorless) and the smell left the house.
Maybe my refrigerator is cursed or haunted. I had a weird haunted goat-walking-man dream last night. Maybe that is why my fridge smells.
This goat-man is scary, but also a bit debonair. My goat man was very evil and was trying to walk upright and not doing a very good job of it. He was wearing blue jeans. He really couldn’t pull off the human walk. He didn’t fool me, but the little goat he was abusing who followed obsequiously behind was under his evil power.
Why does fridge have a d but refrigerator doesn’t? Learning to spell in English is so trying!
I think I better get my facts straight on that smelly house story. It was told to me only once and at least 20 years ago. I’ve undoubtedly embellished.
If I had a pink 1950s fridge, I don’t think I’d have this problem. Then again, remember those ice cube trays that were such a pain-in-the-ass (these lasted up into the ’60s, maybe early ’70s even)? What a mess, all the ice shattered all over the counter and it tasted like metal. No wonder women wanted to stick their heads into their pink ovens with the gas on.
Still, one has nostalgia for these kinds of things.
It never occurred to me that Ouija is OUI and JA: YES YES. Not only that, but it seems to imply that the French and the Germans are very agreeable.
I thought the Ouija is always answering yes and no. A OUINON board would probably be too close to the French for onion (l’oignon). Or NEINJA would be too much like Ninja.
If anyone out there has any suggestions about my fridge smell, please leave a comment. I need all the help I can get. I don’t even have a job.
Maybe a dead mouse UNDER the frig? It’s that time of year when the little critters come in from the cold. You are right about the “not made to last over-priced appliances”! My frig broke within 18 months of purchase, luckily I purchased the extended warranty. It was the “mother board” in the ice maker that went bad and the repair guy said the entire in-door part needed replaced. It was a $500 part. WHAT? He then proceeded to tell me that if the night light ever goes out, it can’t be replaced without purchasing the entire in-door part again at $500. It’s a crime! Hope you find your smell and get it removed.
We have LIVE mice and our cat does not kill them!!! We need to exterminate with extreme prejudice, another problem we are working on. No, this is not a dead animal or mouse nest smell. It’s inside the fridge, isn’t really too bad. It’s probably just overripe produce. I cleaned out a bit tonight and will do some more searching tomorrow. Also will add a box of baking soda.
I never get the extended warranty. I am glad it paid off for you–thank goodness!
Though I’m not supposed to be blogging, I have been sneaking peeks here and there. I hope you find out where that odor is coming from — that has to be really frustrating. But, number A, I am entranced by that pink refrigerator, and number B, I’m enamored of this goat man — I agree he is a bit debonair and muy sexy. Seriously, looking at him makes me hot. I was listening to death metal when I came across your post and I imagined having sex with him, hooking my arms through his horns while this music is playing:
Sandee!!! This music is terrible. How can you listen to it? It is so beyond my abilities to understand and enjoy.
On the other hand, I am SO COMPLETELY HONORED that you have left me one of my BEST COMMENTS EVER and that you have taken a little blogging sneak over here.
I love your comment so much. I loved your post about Brokeback Mtn, too and could relate even though I don’t think I left a comment.
I hope your writing time is going well. I stopped in yesterday or so and it seemed you were still on blog break. GO SANDEE GO! I am tiring of submitting poems myself and wish I were better at writing them…..
Thanks again and ciao!
Sandee, what I really should have added is that I am in complete awe that you love this music.
I used to massage a guy who would bring his own music to listen to and he would play thrash metal and other raucous stuff. How did this help him relax? I don’t think it did AND it was a challenge to me, his massage therapist. Such a funny memory.
That’s hilarious that your client brought this music to his therapies — even though I love this music — hahaha! Coincidentally as we speak, Jake Gylenhaal from BB Mountain’s on Conan O’Brien AND Conan had a spoof with a black metal group — a version of death metal. Yeah, this music does relax me too — I guess it’s cathartic for me to listen to it — it’s crazy I know.
I hope tomorrow goes well! Get a good night’s sleep Twinkly!
Jake G=dreamy. Too bad about Heath. A real tragedy. I did sleep well last night and can now feed the cat her stinky canned food and THEN I can crawl back to bed a snooze a bit….
Ummm….I hate to point out the obvious, but maybe your refrigerator smell is coming from the “stinky canned cat food”? lol
