Decisions decisions
It looks like I could get this refrigerator pulled out, rebuilt, and reinstalled for maybe $400 - $500 less than the cost of having a new one installed. But I'd have a 19 year old refrigerator for 2/3 the price of a new one...
I'll get a new one.

Words Get in the Way
Research shows that language suppresses visual memory, This is called verbal overshadowing and is a well-established phenomenon .... For example, in one study people watched a short videotape of a bank robbery, then spent twenty minutes doing something unrelated. Then one group spent five minutes writing down everything they could remember about the bank robber's face, while the other group did an unrelated task.
