What is the opposite of the Midas Touch?

*Grrrrrr*

That's my frustrated sound.

Not only has something gone wrong with the sensors on my '05 Chyrsler Van (just had the mechanic check it this morning). Needs fixed in the next week or so to the tune of $280 or so ...

Now my sewing machine has decided to sew nothing but a straight stitch. My 30-year-old-workhorse Viking (by Husquevarna)-which-apparently-you-might-or-might-not-get/have-parts-for-going-to-be-damn-expensive-to-fix-still-don't-want-to-give-it-up-love it-machine....... and the serger is also joining in the fray with some mechanical issues.

Do I have some weird electrical force around me making my machines go on the fritz?!?

I feel your pain. Our 96 Jeep needed $350 in new sensors.

Piker.

I dropped $1200 bucks on my Subaru. Front brakes pads and disc, knock sensor, and rear brakes adjusted.

I'm at around $400 on my truck - It's been broken since December in one manner or another and I would gladly replace more parts, if I had anything left to replace!

Don't let them tell you that about your sewing machine

fockkers. Viking is still making parts for all their machines, because they, like Janome and Kenmore/Sears, make machines that last forever.

I can get you the name of a repair guy if you need?

Sure I'll take the name, but there aren't too many places out there, and these are the folks that repaired my machine last time. I'm hoping that it simply needs a good clean and so forth.

These folks are up in Springfield.

If you need a sewing machine, you're welcome to borrow my viking as I never really use it.

Also, it could just be the time of year.. Mercury in Retrograde makes things go kerplunk.

Third. My video card died Monday. My computer at work, which has always been slow is slower, and I now have lag on my wireless network at home we never had before.

but here's a corset shot to cheer you up.

I may take you up on that offer, thanks.

Could be.

Are you a wizard like Harry Dresden?

I remember one week Cait had the X-Man power of bending metal - she broke several handles that she touched that week, including the one on her car :)

I hope it gets better babe - electric items seem to work as a team - they revolt together

love u

If you do, I must have the same thing. Popcorn maker, tv, mp3player, veggie steamer and slow cooker all dead since November.
