mysteryhorse, Maybe look up "eyeball" marble. If they're ca. 3/4", might be "shooters."

Refrigerator saga continues: Recall I rec'd 2 doors that weren't even for my fridge, plus a box containing who-knows-what kind of hinge, & that the repair guy said he'd order a new door and return in 2 weeks, taking the wrong doors away saying he'd sell them to the scrapper?

Well, a month passed, & no door & no guy. So, I called to inquire. No door was ordered, so I ordered (yet another) one, and was given an appt. for Thurs. between 1 and 5 PM. Ok, thought I, that's done. Then got a call back from GE. Was told I couldn't schedule an appt. until the door had been delivered, and that they were cancelling appt. Said they'd send the door FEDEX 3-5 days ground. Fine, I thought, it'll arrive after we get back from St. Louis. Silly me.

I arrived home on Weds. & found 3 gigantic pkgs. (4.5 ft x 3.5 ft. each) at front door. GE had overnited doors (yes, plural). So, I called and was told someone would be out Thurs. between 1-5. The confirmation number I got was for the appt. that had supposedly been cancelled. Thurs. came and at noon, so did the repair guy. That was OK because I was home anyhow. He uncrated the one box - door was damaged. At least this time the door was the right chrome color. He uncrated the 2nd box - door was damaged. He uncrated the 3rd box; it was a gasket (!?). I asked him to take away the doors and gasket. He refused and told me to just throw them out (!?). Now, it costs us to throw out things other than regular garbage, so I called FEDEX and was told I needed a return OK # from GE. Called GE and no one called back, so I have these doors taking up an entire room waiting for something. no lie

He said he'd order a new door and would return Thurs. in the am. So, today, we had a talk downtown and when we returned home, there was this giant package at the door. You guessed it, another door! We haven't uncrated it because we're afraid to do so. The box is all banged up. This has to be a comedy of errors, one of the most inefficient operations I've ever dealt with. And I own stock in GE! Anyone up for betting what's in Pkg. #8 or is it 9? Anyone betting if another door arrives on Monday? You may laugh.

Last flea of the season is tomorrow. If I had a big enough car, I'd take the doors there. As it is, I'll take pictures and post them with a flea report later.

Have an excellent evening, all!
