in For Sale (FS) Classifieds
Finally time to see if anyone wants this. 1939 Mother in Law, in remarkable shape for the age, but the patina is starting to wear thin. Was housebroken until very recently, but hearing and English comprehension is starting to go. I thought I might be able to seal some new tubes in, but no such luck.

She was a great cook, but just last week put a couple of potatoes in the microwave for 800 minutes and damn near burned the friggen house down. She also wakes my son up right after I get him down for a nap, sends me to the store for crap she can’t have anyway, and generally drives me nuts.

I will cover the shipping costs, but there are no returns.

    I wonder if she has a ring on her basket? Maybe Dynamat is in order? Or perhaps just a pair of pliers.

    Ok, so it seems like the logical thing to do is pull her out from the wall and dampen her baskets.
