Is the side of the fridge hot? If so the defrost timer may have gone out. There is an electric coil that warms the cooling coil to defrost it every 12 hours or so. I have replaced the defrost timer in our Kenmore freezer twice in the last 15 years it is around 19 -20 yrs old. the timer is only around $24 or so. If you saved the Schematic as I did you can disconnect the heating element for about 24 hours to see if the refrigerator gets colder, but you will need to get it repaired or the coil will ice up and not cool either. My timer went when it was in the defrost cycle both times. if it goes out while not in the defrost cycle then the coil will ice up and the refrigerator will not cool either. Or the defrost coil could have failed with the same result. If you can get the cover off the coil you can check. Also there is most likely a fan to distribute the cold air, that could have failed. If you don't have the parts diagram you may be able to find it at Sears online. If you are fairly handy and it is one of those 3 things you should be able to repair it yourself.

As far as we know, she is not attending college. DH found her after an extensive search a couple of years ago (the mother would move everytime DH found out where they were!) and at the time she had no intentions on going to college, she was barely making the grades to pass HS. Anyway, we live in AL, the case is thru LA, and the wires always seem to get crossed on who is supposed to do what....could our local agency help us with it? like you suggested? or do we continually have to try and get some kind of info out of the LA office? We are just in a mess with all the confusion these workers seem to bring into the picture! No one wants to give us any answers, we can't afford an attorney! I'm so angry with the way the system works! Not to mention, he also has 3 kids here that he has custody of, their mother wife#2 hasn't seen them in 2 years and is not made to pay a dime in support or medical and will not ever pay if she can help it. The way the system works, she never will! But, of course, if they had to try, that would mean that they would have to take time away from their manhunt for all the so-called "deadbeat dads" of the country to even begin to fathom the idea of there being a deadbeat mother out there! Heaven forbid! Sorry, just so disappointed in the way things are going with our situation right now! We have no money for an attorney, so I am trying to find out all we can do for free, which is: stop current CS and get the arrears paid, get bio-dad of the child he has legal guardianship over to pay CS, get the mother of all 3 to pay CS, get them all to help with the medical or something, geez!!! He/we raise them, emotionally and financially, the BM#2 (and bio-dad of the girl for whom we are legal guardians) are allowed to come and go and call as they please, but they want nothing more than contact, no obligations and so far they have not been made to have any! Ooops, this has turned into a horrible rant, I apologize.

Well, the Heritage Roses Group will be at both events, so do stop and say Hey. As for Celebration info, here's what is out on line: http://www.celebrationofoldroses.org/celebration-of-old-roses.php

Thank you for your reply. I have my own bank account now too. He only pays the house payment and his personal bills. I pay all the utilities, groceries, household items such as everything from cleaning supplies to bathroom items. I also pay for the entertainment (internet,cable, netflix, amazon prime video) When you come down to it, it's not really fair but I try to pick my battles. We recently got into an argument because I repeatedly asked her to take care of something and she blew me off. When I went to her Dad he said HE WOULD do it instead of getting her to have any responsibly! So I said he was enabling her from growing up. That resulted in him saying to her to do what i asked so "I'll shut the f*** up about it." He then told me he don't want me to be a parent to her. So it's OK to support and provide financially but i can not "raise" her. I'm starting to feel this relationship is a joke and I am being used. I spent the evening in silence while they didn't speak to me. I feel I would be more at peace if I take my kids and let this go. I'll seek some outside help because I really need ideas on how to react to them both differently. I hate I wear my emotions on my face.
