    I had a very long week at work... There is one member on here that used to work with me and knows what I have to put up with...

    It started Sunday after I left the car show in the Morgan. I have a great looking sunburn. So I started to peel like a snake yesterday.. GREAT!

    So on Wednesday of the week my out of warranty Toshiba DLP 52" took a dump, $900.00 bucks to fix... told them to throw it away. I am not going to pay that for a old TV to get fixed. I could buy better for about 100 bucks more...

    Then today work gets worst and really pi$$ing me off... so I think to myself... SELF just get home and make a pitcher of margaritas so that you can drink all night and not have to drink a bottle of goose... so I pop out the blender... so I know why use one... I wanted something different so get off my a$$... so I get the patron silver (8 oz) out then the patron citronge (5 oz) (orange flavor)... triple sec (6oz) and about 1/2 of a lime and about 8 or 9 ice cube put all of that in the blender mug... plug it in... NOTHING!!!!!!!! I can hear the motor and then I look at the blade and it is barely moving!!!!!! WTH!!!!!!!!!!!

    I haven't used it in about 5 years and I had to pour all this stuff into a giant bowl... I look at the blades and try and turn it.. it is rusted... not moving!!!!!! Now I have to put all the stuff back in it... shake the hell out of it and drink it that way... DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!

    I can't wait til tomorrow because this should be over!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also going to Kohl's to get a new blender!!!!



    next week has to get better.... right???????????????

    Ok, so they got this...
    Presets for everything and fancy stuff like a reversing blade on some settings.
    http://www.oster.com/ProductCategory.aspx?mpcid=2&cname=Blenders&cid=1554&pid=4525


    And then they got THIS! haha, NO user manual available.
    I think this one comes with an on/off toggle switch and a 1/2 hp motor! This is my recommendation (but I still shave with a straight razor).

    Amazon has them on sale for 20% off. Should only run you about $75

    Buwhahaha. Here is one of the "negative" reviews.
    What more could you ask for than that? You already got the muscle car. Now step up to the muscle blender!

    If you bought the blender at Costco, return it. LOL....they return everything. At least here they do, they put some kind of 90 day policy on your electronic devices. We had a DLP cop out after 7 mths. Didn't even have the box and said f*** it, return it to Costco no problem and bang, instant upgrade as well hehehehehe.

    Our Panasonic widescreen is on its last gasp. The lamp keeps burning out and the tech kept coming out to replace it under our warranty. After the last time and the warranty date passed, the tv stayed functional, but I figure any day now it'll poop out for good and we'll have to get another one.

    Samsung DLP's are the best IMO...I have a 60" inch and a 52"....the 52" went 11,000 hours before lamp replacement and color wheel relacement. The 60" went 7100 hours before the lamp went bad. Replaced lamp and also color wheel while I was in there. Bought both lamp and color wheel off of EBAY for about $500.00 per T.V. and I am back in business.....

    I think the new Samsungs use LED now they dont even need a wheel.....

    As for the TV we thought it was the bulb and at 190 bucks that wasn't it... returned that and got the money back for it...

    It is the video processor board from what I now find out happens a lot with these Toshiba's... 900 bucks to change it...

    CostCo sent out a email last night for 900 bucks to get a 42" LCD 1080P screen with a 2 year warranty... so I am going to go check that out today...
