I hope that this week has led to some more permanent solutions - like the discovery of that effing water line!<br /><br />Question - did you have appliances hooked up to surge protectors and they didnt work? Or you didn't have them connected? Some of our stuff is on them and some isn't. Sometimes I think, I should really go buy more surge protectors. But they're expensive. So I'm trying to decide if this is a warning g to me to go get them or to not waste the money.

I was just talking to my brother's wife about owning a home and having funds set aside for emergencies. My brother (who is 23) was blabbing about his wife's new job and pay increase and how she should spend it all, and I butted in. His wife is 10 years older than him and a little wiser, and she was listening as I rattled off major emergency issues that require big bucks, and my idiot brother said, "That's what homeowner's insurance is for!" Oh, boy. I am thankful the man has plenty set aside at all times in his "house fund" for anything, like the new washing machine.

We had a storm and something like that happened to my brother, it hit outside their house and fried one of their laptops and shocked my niece as she was on her laptop and it zapped through it and gave her a little buzz. It took out several lights and other things. My bro has all the bad luck, poor guy. <br /><br />Hope this week is a lot better!<br /><br />Happy reading,<br />Stormi<br />Stormihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07157799090129414984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5341985034171506629.post-80720657419238805812016-07-10T18:35:42.439-04:002016-07-10T18:35:42.439-04:00Wow, what horrible week you had.

When we first bought our house we had a small tv and would sit on the floor in front of it to see the screen lol. I hope you'll get a break from these strange storms. I agree about your words of wisdom. Owning a house is nice but is a nightmare when something needs to be repaired. I hope you have a better week!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11676549149714729996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5341985034171506629.post-46294820139533830042016-07-10T15:43:39.285-04:002016-07-10T15:43:39.285-04:00We had a bit of a blackout too.

So glad! Sure, there is nothing to leave the children (in real estate), but the market here is horrible, anyway.<br /><br />What a week's end! Sometimes listing the few positives is all we can do.<br /><br />I hope this next week is free from disasters. Enjoy your books.

I am sorry to hear some of your appliances got fried, definitely sounds like the kind of excitement you can do without. I am glad to hear no one was hurt, but I can imagine it's still a scare and then a pain to deal with the things that got fried.I hope your next week is a better one!
