Fickle Appliances

Here are some examples to find out if your appliances hate you too:

- Our temperamental oven beeps every so often yelling at us "F3, F3!" We think it might be the change in air pressure or we have ghosts.

- The satanic DVD player refuses to play any sort of LDS movies.

- We've gone through 3 TVs in the past 6 months. The first we had since the dinosaur age when my dad was a teenager (circa 2 million B.C.). Its faux-wood paneling and weighing as much as my car was a lovely sight in our family room. It literally had to wind itself up before we could see anything. Eventually it would freak out and the screen would just pulsate.
Another one that we had would humm constantly so we needed to have the TV full blast just to hear the movie and then the screen's light went out so we would need to sit in complete darkness to see what was on TV.

- If you're keeping track, those are only a few examples of rotten appliances. For the time being we are also without vacuum, washing machine and Mom's blow dryer.
