If you own anything mechanical, don't let me near it.
Just this week:

1) My car blew up near Dallas.

2) My dad's heater hose on his Dodge Ram sprung a leak while towing my car back.

3) When my dad was taking the car dolly back to U-Haul, his brakes in his old Ford pick-up locked up on him.

4) Today, I pulled the pullcord out of the lawnmower, thus inabling it until I can get the cord fixed.

All in less than a week.

If you own anything with a motor, keep it away from me! :D

3. I think I would be more upset if my computer blew up...
than I was about my car. My laptop appeciates your vibes. :D

2. Sounds as if you'd better stay away...
... from the toaster oven, the hairdryer and anything with rotating parts. :)

Not a good week, from the sound of it.

5. One of the astrological complications right now...
in case ya care about that sorta stuff.. Mercury is in retrograde, that means communications are backwards and mechanical devices go haywire... sounds like you experienced the latter... good news.. It will right itself next week.

6. Well, it seems to me that now you should have some
smooth sailing! I mean, you've disabled all those motors during this week...

So now what's left? Practically nothing....

You've gotten all the trouble out of the way....so now you can relax, right?

Let's hope so....I'll hold that good thought for you!
