Baldo en Español by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for November 16, 2012

Won’t it be

Wow, your first paycheck, that’s

good morning and happy friday locos

I hear the striking workers have succeeded in Hostess’ decision to shut down permanently. No more Twinkies!

Good morning Locos.

Yay! No more twinkies.

Baldo is certainly not the brainiac in the family.

Waiting, waiting on the oven man!

Eso no es lo que Papi tenía en mente, Baldo.That’s not what Papi had in mind, Baldo.

And already I have forgotten how to do BOLD here.

Man, I never want to go through that again. I HATE computers when something goes wrong.

Guess I’ll tour around and see you folks tonight. It’s my night to call my mom. I don’t know when I’ll get back.

How did you fix it, Shika?

cleo no he’s not like the muffin man, trust me! :-D

My oven is an old Thermador, which they no longer make. I hope it holds out through Thanksgiving! And I can’t just go out and get a new wall oven because the cut-out is built for my size oven like they made in the ’50’s and 60’s. Now wall ovens are about 4 inches wider, which means tearing out part of the wall to expand the area. The guy says it should last for now, but it will go out again. :-(

Gee, I guess renting isn’t so bad after all. My old oven gave out last year, and I got a brand new one very quickly. No charge. I own my refrigerator though (a gift from my parents when I moved out.) It is over 26 years old and still running well. The only thing is that I have to defrost the freezer twice a year.

Of course, I don’t have a fancy Thermidor. My microwave is so old that it has a dial on it. It isn’t digital. But it still works!

cleo, I hate to think what a new kitchen will cost. :-(

cleo, Thermador was a GREAT product, from what I understand. Heck, it must be! Mine was installed when my house was built by the original owners, and look how long it lasted! I hate to part with it! I love the porcelain lining and how easy it is to clean! How old is yours, cleo? Do you have any idea how to order replacement parts, which according to our repairman is “iffy” He found parts on eBay but didn’t want to be responsible for the guarantee, since he doesn’t trust eBay or the internet.

Shika I have 2 freezers, one small, one large, both uprights, and really old which my parents gave me when they got a new one. The small one I only use now when I defrost the big one to store stuff in while defrosting the big one. Both are done by hand. And YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT A LITTLE BITTY TINY REFRIGERATOR FREEZER???!!!

I need a NEW KITCHEN FLOOR! Pieces are chipping off! I need a new paint job there too!CAN WE TAKE UP A COLLECTION FOR DRY’S NEW KITCHEN FLOOR? HUH? CAN WE? HUH? HUH? HUH?

I wonder if Mr. Wayne is around?Sleep well Locos.

Shika…..with that extra blanket & fine chocolates……..

Goodnight.
