Love that Mr Fix it logic, LOL.
I've used the carafe from a newer blender on an old one, then switched it back to the newer one after the old one died, but that didn't involve taking anything apart.

: Hi again, Kim,
: I can see your perspective on the
: antidepressants; I have also
: watched loved ones try different
: kinds and not feel a significant
: change. My heart yearns for their
: wholeness... and I would love to
: see each of them, seize on this
: food plan as their focus for faith
: in slow, incremental healing! I
: can't force them, though.
: What it comes down to, and what I
: tell everyone I meet, is that
: doing the food has made the
: largest single difference in my
: life, when it comes to changing my
: mood. Not only changing my mood,
: but healing at a level that I used
: to despair of ever reaching. I
: finally feel as if I have 'grown
: up', which is a very good state to
: be in. 
: I would not have known there was so
: much wrapped up, in "balanced
: biochemistry"...
: Which is why the antidepressants are
: not the catch-all, single answer.
: I think of it in a way Kathleen
: described - they are like propping
: up the serotonin leg of the
: three-legged stool, and still
: having the BE (beta-endorphin) and
: blood sugar legs of the stool out
: of balance.
: Which brings me back to my choice to
: take them - my serotonin leg could
: use some propping up, and I will
: do my best to do the food, to get
: the BE and blood sugar legs to
: cooperate also!
: I feel as though I am rambling again.
: I hear you, that you are trying to
: keep an open mind. There is no
: rush and no pressure, least of all
: from me!
: The important part is always the food
: of course.
: This morning I tried out our new
: blender!
: My husband wanted to fix my old one
: that wore out. He figured out it
: needed an o-ring, that wasn't on
: the market to buy as a separate
: item. So he proposed buying a
: blender to get the o-ring, then
: taking the new blender apart and
: putting the o-ring in my old
: blender.
: Ummm... 
: I prevailed, with my suggestion that
: we *use* the new blender instead!!
: 
: 
: I had a lovely shake. 
: Pleasantly,
: -Lea (snoozey)
