Ex*****ve things

Rules of life, chapter 4, section II, subsections d-g:
in a nutshell. Expensive things break, in threes, when your wallet least needs the challenge.
Last week. Injector. Last night, TV, literally, went POP! very loud. Woke one of the kids, lit me and the wife right out of our chairs.
Waiting for the third shoe (ducking)

We seem to have a knack for catastrophic failures with appliances. Our wall oven went out a couple of years ago. I was sitting on the couch drinking morning coffee, my wife hit the buttons, and the thing shot what looked like roman candles over her head. Spilled my coffee. But I think she spilled somethin else :-)

Dang, TA, I am glad I don't live next door to you... you really get quite a show when something breaks!

Maybe you have a wiring issue with your house if all your electronics keep blowing

Man, when you break stuff, you don't screw around! I know what you mean though. Like they say, when it rains, it pours!

If the TV went pop, and the wall oven went up in sparks and smoke, I would check the house wiring also, something don't sound right.
