Whoever said, "If it weren't for bad luck, there'd be no luck at all," was a wise, wise person. *half smile* Our furnace quit working this morning. The part needing replacing? $160. *nods* I know, pricey. But we can't keep hauling room heaters up and down the stairs. Although...that might develop some muscles after awhile... *grins*
Then there was a brief power surge yesterday mornin'. Jon turned on my overhead light, and as the switch flipped up bright orange sparks sizzled out of a light socket. The lightbulb shot out of its socket like a torpedo. The part that screws in was still stuck in the fixture. The rest of the metal portion of the bulb was blackened. Shock surely registered on our faces as we watched. It took less than three seconds, but boy, was I glad nobody was under that light.
