Please tell me things go bad in 3's and not more. Recently it seems as if the appliances are all deciding to die at the same time. About a month ago, the dryer died, it actually ate a piece of my daughters clothing which I ended up cutting out with scissors. The repair man came, saw, ordered part, and 260.00 later, fixed the 6 yr. old dryer. Ok, then starting last weekend, my van began to leak and run hot. Hubby checked it out and concluded it wasn't a major fluid loss, ie. coolant, oil, transmission fluid. So off Bessie ( van's name) went to the mechanic only to be diagnosed with a leaking water pump, plus some stuff that sounds like jibberish to me, all to the tune of 723.00. I really wish you could sit down with appliances and explain to them that Christmas is just around the corner and they really must just suck it up and wait to misbehave until March. Yet, I have tried this and it falls on deaf ears!
Last night I popped a load of wash in before we were going to watch a family show. We were about to start the show when we hear this LOUD bang. Like someone slammed the door or dropped something really heavy, but everyone was downstairs. When I checked in on the washing, the whole entire drum had fallen down! Holy moley, didn't see that one coming. Today we get to hand dip the water out of the tub and fish our clothes out of the water and see what this ones going to cost! I really must have another chat with these appliances and show them who's boss!!!!

I know how you feel Susan! I just had to pay a plumber $150 to fix my toilet and I had to buy a new washer. I hope your theory is wrong because I'm all out of money!!

That really sucks!! Hopefully nothing else goes wrong and my appliances don't get wind of this and want to join in the fun.
Ok - I'm sorry but bad things do happen in threes....beagle got sick - $600 later she's much better. Blazer sick - $500 later may be terminal & have to be put out to pasture. Daughter sick; late night emergency room visit on the other side of the state - still waiting for the bill on that one...but I guess I have to remember that at least I have things I love & want to take care of....but the real question is....hair or horn???
