3. we had to unplug it and wait for it to cool so we could pry it open without getting steam burns on our hands (if i'd had good rubber gloves at the time, i probably could have gotten it open while it was still hot), then we cleaned it out and it was fine after that. just a pita to deal with at the time, lol.
2. i don't remember what happened to the rates after "i" was "in" an "Accident" (read: some asshole charges through a red light and head-ons me, but it's 'my' fault b/c i shouldn't have been turning left -- i hope that guy never has another car that isn't in a horrible accident again as long as he lives), because i was in high school on my parents insurance. but it was that accident that caused them to keep me from having a car during my college years, which lead me to rely on a less-than-reputable individual to take me to walmart, and he ended up sexually abusing me. so yeah, i guess insurance rate increases are kind of evil.
