My appliances have caused me a great amount of grief lately. Truly I begin to despise them as they throw a kink into my absolutely (perfect) functioning, chore completing world. Especially since I fired the maid, chef, and laundromat for the next 16 or more years requiring I do these tasks on my own.
Okay, really I did not fire them….but man I wish I had help like that on some days.
So my appliances must truly hate me. The first appliance to go was the washer. Easy fix, we bought new ones courtesy of a large “donation” from DH’s boss a few years ago, I got a fancy front loader and matching dryer. (see my abundance of laundry in my utility room….it looks much more organized now….HA!)
Another appliance to slowly make an exit was a MUCH needed appliance in any HOTTER THAN HELL household….the air conditioner. My A/C unit was as old as the house, which is as young as me….not energy efficient, always running, never cooling…. I’m seeing a pattern. Anyway. We replaced that bad boy last September and I have been in heaven since. I have to wear a light sweater at times.
In fact this is what was pulled out from the washer and let me tell you what they are: a bra underwire (clearly mine unless someone is wearing this for moobs in this house), two dimes, a penny, a one dollar piece, a house key that was trashed already and a breast feeding pad. One of those you use to soak up your let down so you don’t walk around looking like a wet cow all day. That was the NASTIEST thing I had ever seen. Took some investigation, but N.A.S.T.Y!Now on Monday night we finally had our first “monsoon” for the summer. Just like sex though, hot, wet, quick, and after it leaves, sometimes a bit disappointing. So the old summer storm rolled in bringing lots of thunder, rain, lightning. Well the lightning I suppose caused a problem for some folks. Namely me. You see I have this appliance that washes dishes for me….so I do not have to stand over a sink ruining my beautiful hands.
Yes, that appliance. The appliance that if died again would be the bane of my existence! I hate dishes, laundry I can handle. Dishes, I CANNOT! Not sure on the reasoning, probably all the nasty food issues and yuck. But I am not a dishes girl. So this appliance failed to work, resulting in a service call. The guy came out, charged $69 and voila, fixed. He pulled the panel off, reset it, bam, works again. DH was not happy with this but as I suggested….not like he was going to dig around in the old dishwasher.

WTF!!! (literally)
LMAO!!! Great Post!!
hahahaha! at least you have one thing you can rely on (and really, i think that may be the most important. wink. wink.)!
lmao!
So this is funny, I'm reading this at work and can't see the pictures but I have a pretty powerful imagination (and great 'sleuthy' skills) and I just know what's there, LOL!
Glad you have that one reliable appliance!
LMAO!! Too Funny. I am so jealous of your front loading washer and dryer. I so want one. My washer is ancient. Our water heater went a couple months ago. Big wet mess in the basement. I so need central air! I hate having only 2 Window ACs. Have a great weekend.
LOL agreeing totally
LOLOL!!!
That so made me night.. hahaha!! I definately have my issues with appliances as well 😉
lol good one I had to show it to Dave and he laughed so much! good day my friend!
I'm giggling and turning my head like a bashful school girl, but with 7 kids we no I ain't bashful!
Hugs and Mocha,
Stesha
I so hope my comment wasn't over the line. Don't hate me.
Seriously…at least you know this thing will never…let you down on the job! Muwahahahahahahaha
