........ one million months and counting..............
Unrelated, our garage door died yesterday. Half-up, half-down, stuck at a jaunty angle, it was quite the conversation starter among the neighbors. Also complete strangers. One of these complete strangers gave me the contact number of his garage guy. While waiting for our scheduled repair guy to turn up, we called him, and he came and did the job for a modest fee. We now have a working garage door, a safe haven from burglars and a new garage repair guy. This was what providence looked like this week.
Which thing in our house is going kaput next? Please not the sewing machine. I should start a new blog: The Malfunctional Family - Living Each Day, One Fewer Appliance At A Time.
Oh dear. Not another thing! On the bright side, what a great thing it is to have a garage door guy!
ReplyDeleteI swear there is something in the air. Over the weekend in my house we lost a ceiling fan, a dishwasher, a tire, and a hybrid Escape. And I'm losing my job next month, so the timing was just perfect. I have to hope it can only get better, so I hope the same for you too!
ReplyDeleteadnohr, you too? I'm sorry about the job, though. That doesn't belong in the malfunction of tangible technological goods category, but it is a NoGooder just the same. I hope things get a whole LOT better for you soon! Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteOh no.
ReplyDeleteI realized last year during our ice storm that I had no idea how to get out of the garage with the power out. It seems like there must be a way, and I should probably learn how before this winter, since storms that leave multi-day power outages are fairly common where we live.
These objects are great when they are working arn`t they? In the last couple of months we have lost the services of the shower, the microwave, the steam cleaner and this laptop (which was under warranty thank goodness).Nothing works for any length of time anymore does it. No wonder we have too much landfill.
ReplyDeleteIt's that fellow Murphy again! He's been at our house too.
ReplyDeleteWe have been on a "breaking spree" too. I never realized how expensive things can be to fix. We had a diego figure "accidentally" get stuck in the toilet $600 later he came out unharmed.
ReplyDeleteSomething is going around!!! In the last couple of months we have had big things break on us and it is becoming annoying. Lastly our car was taken into the shop because the check engine light was on and what do you know, it ends up costing almost $1000.00. Hopefully this will be the last of it????
