new range came and like some of it but hate other parts of it DARN.Burners say they are cool but geeze you can't touch them and they are telling me sensor may not be working .Geeze can I get a range that works please .Not sure what to do as home depot said they could take it back and I could get another lg but the better quality one .sorry pics are sideways If I flip them only get half the pic .I like the look of the lg better than the new one .I like the knobs better as it is a pain with the touch pad for the burners and lg does not make one with the knobs .What a pain ,why me ,I am cursed with bad ranges .

If me, I would try to get a non lg range. If not, get a better grade lg.

The new one is a frigidaire and I wonder why I keep getting the lemons . This LG I have was 1199. and the next one up is 1399. not much more and the frigidaire one is 1599. and was supposed to be good by the ratings .I just like the knobs better and not the touch pad for heat levels on burners .It is a pain to keep touching the pad to turn the temps. up and down .Am I cursed by the range gods :razz: .I hate going any higher because the neighborhood would not even support the price of this one .Not worried about resale really just want a safe working one .Most people here have the coil ranges or the less expensive ranges .Plus wanted the smaller oven since it is just the two of us .Electric rates don't go down .Chimes on LG are really nice but don't understand why they don't make one with knobs .Plus the oven has flashing light when it is done and I have several deaf friends who really like that idea .They have used my oven several times here .

I remember when they had just appliance stores like tops where you could go and look at every brand .I could not even find the frigidaire one here any where .Just online at home depot .

ok people dolphin plant flower opened .Have to take clearer pic

 

[sissy]

camera focus on back splash instead of flower so tried more with a plain back ground .I wonder though what kind of back ground would be best .The flower is only an inch and half long to the tail .Hard to hold the pot at a good angle to take a pic decent .hold pot take pic not easy .

Manually focus on the flower if possible. If you have a macro lense fill the frame with the flower. Consult FAQ's for yor camera. Good luck.

it is just a kodak c 160 but remember the disk is 4 years old and has taken tons of pics and then erased them and taken taken more pics and erased them over a 4 year time frame .going to try a new card .Maybe that will help .But the camera has been well used also over the years .

Met with landscape designer/contractor today. Plans are amazing. Actually more than amazing. House & Garden Magazine quality. Total cost is "Oh good God Almighty"! Negation with wifey tomorrow or as soon as she regains consciousness. Children too old to sell. Anyone need a left kidney, eyeball, arm, leg or nut? Cash only. :-/ ;-( :-0

 

[sissy]

Sleeping in a tree with a opposium is really not that bad once you get to know each other.

lol Lou, it is unreal what is cost getting what we do, done. A landscaper friend said our build is in the 50-60k range.

 

[j.w]

Well just put these options in front of your kids Lou.................show them what you want done and then show them how much it will cost. Then give them the option of doing the work for you or watching their inheritance money go out the window
