'When appliances rebel''
I'm afraid what you might have seen on the sci-fi channel is quite true.
Your household appliances talk to each other thru-out your home.
And what their saying to each other ain't good either.
It's a let's take over plot,
machines against mankind,
or in my case,
machines against the little ole lady.
As my oven talked to my clothes dryer yesterday,
and they both decided to go on strike.
But that was ok,
patience is a virtue and I can use other small kitchen appliances to cook,
and the good ole backyard clothesline to dry my clothes.
*Two points for my side*.
Then the garden rake I was using must have spoken to the shovel handle,
and they both decided to just flat break off.
But that was ok too,
I was mad enough by then to use a piece of wood to pick up the grass,
and that same piece of deterorating wood to continue digging around a stump.
*Four points for my side*.
Then our one year old air conditioner quit mid day as I sat to take a break,
and ole Murphys Law,
it naturally waited until the heat of the day to die.
I was still staying cool though, with a wash cloth soaked in cold water.
*Five points for my side*
It must have passed the ''we're going on strike word''
to my pride and joy brass lamp next,
who's ''touch me base'' is suppose to like..
turn it on.
Not tonight Granny.
But that's ok, I had allot of scented candles to see by.
*Six points for my side*....*appliances 0*.
But,
(isn't there always a but?)
Sometimes the bad guys just flat win.
As after cold sandwiches for dinner,
by candlelight,
with the clothes line dryed,
and the windows opened to let in a cool breeze,
THE POWER WENT OUT.
Appliances have really bad attitudes and friends in high places.
I went to bed,
they win.
