OK IT HAPPENED TO US
You know when you have a major appliance breaks, more will break. Well, it happened to us. In June before we left on vacation, our tv in the family room suddenly had a line through the middle. There was sound but no picture. Well, the kids found a place to hit it and it would come on. It is like the old car we had when I was little. Slam one door the windshield wipers would come on and slam the other the heat would come on. Anyway, we thought we could live with that. The tv completely died 2 weeks ago. No new for a while. Not missing it either other than it is the only one that had dish network on it. You have to understand where we live, on top of a mountain, that we have no cable or wireless internet. Yes, I know we are way behind times. Not having a tv has been heaven. We may not get another one.
Then our tea maker started acting up. You had to hit the on button 5 times to get your tea made. Well, that went out the door. I do it the old fashion way now. This is not a major appliance, but it is major for tea drinkers.
So today, I started the dishwasher. About a month we got a notice that our dishwasher had been recalled because it could catch on fire. I have had this dishwasher for about 10 years now. I did not pay too much attention to the recall. Did get my certficate for $75 off a new one, but not really planning on using it. Well, after coming back into the kitchen I noticed that the kitchen was full of smoke and something was burning. I guess they were right about a fire hazard. No one was hurt or anything damaged. Glad I did not run it last night while Randy and I were out. Tyler and Talicee were here and it could have been a bad situation. The good Lord was looking over us.
So off to buy a new dishwasher today. Just wondering what I will have to buy next week. The washer and dryer are acting up, but I just ignore that too. I better plan on looking at those too, with my luck, they will die too.
Just thought I would share our experience. When one breaks they all break. It is very true. Who ever said this was onto something. I will post a pretty picture of my new dishwasher when I get it. I don't think you want to see the dead TV or the burned dishwasher. Just have to laugh about the whole situation.
Life is just a bowl of cherries. LOL
