Joys of Home Ownership

Last year on the 4th of July weekend our washer and dryer died and we had to get a new set from Sears. This year our hot water heater sprung a very small leak and we made our annual pilgrimage to Sears to get a replacement. Of course, what I really want to buy at Sears is a new big screen TV. Maybe next year. When I was young it never occurred to me that things like garbage disposals and water heaters wear out.
