Would you poke fun of me if I told you...

[ScreamingMeemie]

that I am excited at the prospect of getting a new oven?? This one has been fritzy for the last month. (not catching, smelling like gas until you turn it off and back on and generally being crappy about cooking) and I find myself looking at appliance websites with all the glee of a 17 year old looking for a Prom dress.

:yourock:

[billyskank]

13. So NO

I would never poke fun at you. Unless it was in a way that would make you smile. :D

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. You always make me smile.

:hug:

3. not at all

my oven has been hinky for months - sometimes it works, sometimes it refuses to light at all.

I want a new one, but I guess I'll wait 'til it stops working altogether. I have a microwave/convection combo that I use when the oven acts up. It's a little harder to figure out, though.

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. That's what we were trying to do, but the gas thing is freaking me out

a bit. I've also been trying to push it along a bit.

20. Can I ask

what the going price range is for a decent gas oven? The place for mine is pretty small, so it can't be a big one. Just a typical smallish 4-burner gas range and oven.

[ScreamingMeemie]

25. I've been looking at Sears.

Their basic model gas range and oven starts at about $250.00. That is very basic. No clock, manual clean. The one we're looking at is a Kenmore with a few bells and whistles for about $450.00. ABC warehouse carries them for as low as $187.00 for a narrow, four burner one.

5. lucky!

i want a new oven so much!! I want it to have a gas cook top and electric range. I was really exceited the day i got my new dishwasher so i can understnad your feelings.

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. Yes! That's the thing. The last new appliance I got was a fridge and

I was positively giddy about it. These are the first totally new appliances I've ever gotten, so it's a pride of ownership thing. It's almost like when you were a kid and got new shoes. I remember thinking I could run faster, jump higher...I swear the new fridge keeps things colder/crisper. :D

[AlCzervik]

17. Enjoy, let us know what you ended up buying.

:toast:

8. Naaaah. Only if you cook dinner on the new stove while wearing your prom dress...

In that case, yes, I would poke fun at you.

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. Prom dress is long gone so...

no worries. :D :hi:

[Blue-Jay]

9. Hell no. I like new appliances.

And other gadgets in general.

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. Me too.

I love them.

[Omphaloskepsis]

10. Would you make fun of me if I told you I wanted more RAM..

We are all nerds. Just in different ways. I hope you get what you want, you deserve it.

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. Not at all...

Thank you Omph.

[wildhorses]

21. nope, i would be right there with you

you cook with gas...cool:thumbsup:

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. It is the only way to cook...

I had an electric stove in my mobile home (it was the only hookup) and it just about killed me.

[wildhorses]

24. yep..electric sucks. that is what i am right now

but, one of these days...

[Phillycat]

22. Prediction: this thread will inspire a quickly-locked copycat.

Mark my words! :D

[YellowRubberDuckie]

26. Never.

New appliances are AWESOME! I'm very excited for you.
