Therefore, she said that a good mother\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s day gift would be to get her a new one.  Interestingly enough I was able to just snap the part back in and it worked again.  However, I still ended up buying a more modern day one since the other one looked extremely worn out and figured she wanted it anyways.<\/p>\n<p>Usually I would say if it still works then keep it.  In this case the item just seemed so worn out that I wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be surprised if it could start accumulating things like bacteria easier.  Therefore, I guess that was more of a reason to replace a product where spending a few dollars can be better in the long run.  Would be like sitting in a wobbling worn out chair that hurts your back.  Sure you can still sit on it, but the money aspect isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t worth sacrificing your well being.<\/p>\n<p>And besides, my mom asked for it.
