Andy: You know, the water filter in the refrigerator hasn't been changed since we bought the fridge two years ago.
Toni: How often is it supposed to be changed?
Andy: Every 6 months.
Toni: Ah. We should probably change it then.
Andy: (sounding hopeful) So is that an exception on the spending ban?
Toni: We're 18 months overdue--I doubt another 48 days is going to be an issue.
Andy: Oh...
I think someone is needing a little "retail fix."

Now you're scaring me!
Doesn't the water filter do something very important - like provide you with pure drinking water?
In my mind, replacing this item falls under the category of potential medical necessity for the ongoing protection of your health. Or, look at it this way: what if 18-months-overdue is just a wee bit too far and one of you gets sick due to improperly filtered impurities or even a bacterial build-up in the filter... This isn't supposed to become a medical experiment, is it?
Really - I'm not trying to be a fear-monger. But please take care of yourselves.
Oh, that made me laugh out loud! And I found it almost impossible to explain to J, too. (or the dogs for that matter; they gave me a funny look, too, but lost interest when they realised that it wasn't going to involve treats). Retail fix, indeed...
