For the last month or so, I've had all kinds of problems with electric things.
My computer crashed, my iPod wouldn't turn on, my air conditioner went on the fritz, light bulbs were blowing out, and even my watch battery died.
Just as I thought I was out of the woods, yesterday my washing machine stopped spinning. I was left with a tub filled with wet black clothes and a lot of water to bail.
It's not an old washer, per se, it's just a normal looking, brand name machine that had no business going out.
Remember the old time washers that were made of steel, had three moving parts and never broke? Maybe I oughtta get one of those.
I can understand that bad luck can come in threes, but I'm hoping multiples of threes is not the case.
Are we in Mercury retrograde or something?

Probably. That's just what I was thinking.
What a drag, though...
On a positive note, you ended up with a killer new AC that's eco friendly, your old faithful computer, and knowing your luck, you'll be washing a load of clothes before this day is over. I don't know what to tell you about the bulbs except to go buy more. For some reason those expensive curly-cue eco bulbs don't work anywhere in our house.
i think i know the problem. you've finally pissed off the repubes so much that they have asked the anti-christ for help.
that's right; satan is haunting your house on behalf of his son, rush limbaugh.
there must be something in the air. in the past month, i've had to replace my a/c, washer and dryer, and telephone.
Those curly eco bulbs suck. Half the time they don't even work when you first screw them in. And they are too dim.
Nonnie, I feel your pain.
Lately my cell phone likes to turn itself off and on for no apparent reason.
JimBob, Satan ain't here. He's at the RNC, recruiting new members.
I'm going to take a shower-- I hope this is not contagious.
We used to get Kenmore washing machines. They were like battle tanks... took a lickin' & kept on washing....
but Sears caved & Whirlpool no longer makes their machines- now it is the lowest bidder & their machines need repairs within less than 2 years.
Bummah!
Welcome to the American corporate machine; planned obsolescence is the best way to ensure a continuing revenue stream...well other than making a quality product, that is.
But, gee, you know, that would take effort and integrity...
