Tape Stuck in Machine For Over A Week

Favorite 1840 Quentin Scenes On It

  Husband Does Nothing  

I need Quentin badly.  Can't watch any DS.
For some reason over the last couple of weeks, I've wanted to watch Quentin real badly.  Something like this hasn't happened to me in a LONG time.  So what happens?  Something goes wrong with the VCR.  My tape with the last few 1840 episodes on it is stuck -- won't come out.  When you turn on the machine it shuts off immediately.

I told my husband about the problem over a week ago.  He hasn't done a damn thing.  VCR is unhooked and sitting on the floor over here.  Thanks a lot.  If I were the suspicious type, I might think he hasn't fixed it on PURPOSE -- just so I can't watch Quentin.

Pissed off?  Yeess....but why Stokes?  (I'll tell ya why)
When his stupid water distiller stopped working over a week ago, I spent 2 hours taking it apart (in the middle of the night, I might add) trying to figure out what was keeping the fan from turning -- trying to fix it so he wouldn't have to send it out.  Did I succeed?  No, but I made every effort I could.  Does he do anything to get my tape out safe and sound, and get a working VCR hooked up in here for me?  NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I've never opened up a VCR.  Don't know anything about them.
Ya know what's on the tape?  That scene in the jail where Quentin is talking to Barnabas about taking care of Tad and how he isn't afraid, etc.  (Oh my God, calm down kid) (pant pant)
Didn't think I had any hormones left at this point but apparently I was wrong.

I JUST WANT TO WATCH QUENTIN TONIGHT.  Is that too much to ask?  Ya know what I feel like doing?  Going out to Best Buy and buying a couple of 1897 DVD's and a couple of 1840 DVD's and CHARGING them.  Hell, there's even some 1970 Parallel Time stuff I'd like to watch -- like around the time of Quentin's breakdown.

I haven't seen much DS in quite a long time.  And it's HALLOWEEN for crying out loud!
I was so desperate I watched HODS on TCM last week at midnight.  First time I've ever watched that movie from beginning to end.  Oy vey.

Well, thanks for letting me rant and rave.  Feel a little bit better (but not much).

Signed,
Desperate For The Q-Man

If I may suggest a 3rd solution-- empowering Connie.  Here's the fixer page for VCRs.  You might find the brand and model # in the database pages and possibly a cure for your problem, and more importantly how to get that tape out without causing further damage.  But please read the safety instructions on the site first.  Good luck.

Oh my God, thank you.  A website like this never occurred to me.  It looks VERY good.
I'm gonna get to work on this tonight...damn it.  If it can be fixed, I'M going to do it!
(like I end up having to do everything else around here lately)      

Thanks!

Connie,  I wish you the best of luck.  It sure beats my solution.  I wish it to the cornfield(basement) and make it go away.

So, here it is, November 3 and I have to ask---did you get it fixed?
More importantly, did you get your Q-Man fix? Inquiring minds want to know.....
