This baby was my mom's, and then mine. For 37 years or so it has beaten and kneaded anything. It's been the most dependable thing we owned. As of this week, it only runs for a few seconds at a time. Kitchenaid's customer service told me that they consider it a vintage model, and "unrepairable."
I'm sure that there's a repairman who could fix it. That would be the frugal, environmentally responsible thing to do. Or...
Or...
I could buy a red one, and put off fixing this one.
And that's why I only need a moment of silence. The rest of the seconds need to be spent dreaming of a gleaming new red mixer.
I promise that I don't treat my human friends this way.
come on aboard the red mixer train! i *heart* my mixer. mostly because it's RED

Sooner or later, our good friends pass on. Maybe a memorial service?
