2008 isn't starting out very good for me. I know there are homeless people living in the park while it's freezing outside and I know there are starving people in a lot of countries and I know there is inhumane treatment of people going on in many, many countries but people, this blog is about me!!
I am having a problem with my garage door now. We all know the mishap I had with my phone. Now my garage door broke, or to be more specific, Pretty Girl's. Why does this inconvenience me you ask? Well, we have two garage doors and hers is broken so I let her use my side cuz she comes and goes in the dark hours of the morning and night. So I have to deal with manually opening and closing the other side which means I have to open it, back out my car, go into the house, close the garage door and secure it, go out the front door and then get in my car and go. It's a lot of work. The Garage Door Repair Man, or as I like to refer to him, Gedrum (Garage Door Repair Man) came last week to "fix" it. Gedrum lubed and oiled and tightened and tinkered and it was "fixed". The remote didn't work so he sent me to Radio Shack (or as I have always refered to them as Radio Shit) for a "special" battery. Pretty Girl and I went there and made them promise that if the battery didn't work we could return it. They did and I will cuz the remote still doesn't work and, I know all of you will be surprised to hear, niether does the door!
That's right, now it's "broken" again! 2008 is turing out to be quite expensive. 2007 was also, as I had to replace my heat pump/air conditioner for a mere $9,500!!!! So that is why I think back on 2006 as a good year. Now I can only hope that I get a tax refund.

I think the repairman was just trying to get the hell outta there with the Radio Shack BS. Batteries don't just suddenly die... they get weaker and weaker. He totally busted it or lost the programming or something. What an iddiiiiiot
I completely feel your pain. There has been some thing wrong with our house, well, since we moved in! It's been an expensive year since 2003 and I don't think it's going to get better any time soon!
