Re: Hang It Sherry, this is your fault ;-P

Sherry, your rant about your appliances attacking you has caused no end
of trouble around my house.

First Emily's alternator died. Admittedly at 17, Emily is an old girl,
but she was game until you posted about your appliances.

Then, one of the kids' gamer friends backed into our mailbox with his
dad's truck. Score: Mailbox pole O, Truck 1 Mailbox 2. The mailbox,
the one part I wanted to get rid of, is totally intact. However it
consists of an old rusty mailbox covered with this ugly fiberglass ***
embossed with what looks like some sort of intestinal worm and some farm
animals. Couldn't you have encouraged it to self-destruct instead of
the mail box pole, which I now have to repaint and mount house numbers on?

Now, Emily is sitting in front of my house. The alternator is fixed,
but apparently her fuel injection is out. I have no idea how much the
fuel infection system is going to cost, but i'm praying it is less than
forty dollars. Yes I am whimpering. I had to cadge rides with friends
and neighbors in order to get to school for my finals.

I am trying to look upon this as a challenge, but it is very hard at the
moment. Please ask your appliances to behave and not encourage everyone
else's mechanical equipment to act up. I for one, would really
appreciate it.

Oh, we don't talk about finances in front of the appliances anymore, as
was suggested by a poster here. That was the problem. I was giddy with
the thought of the $285 tax refund I was about to receive...babbling
about what I was going to do with it, and look what happened.
That's what appliances do at night. They plot revolutions. I always
knew that the mates to my socks turned into clothes hangers at night,
but I never clued into the the Appliance Revolt until now.
Poor Emily. We did get a new truck for DH. My car had better last. At
this rate I don't imagine I'll ever get a new one.
