Poltergeist?

The car has begun to make a rhythmic shrieking noise. The washing machine remembers how to command the hot water to turn on but not to turn off. Think Sorcerer's Apprentice. The dishwasher has stopped using water of any kind. It just smears Calgon gel all over the dishes and warms them up. The dryer and the microwave don't do anything under any circumstances. You have to unscrew the top of the lawnmower and pour gasoline into the priming resevoir to get it to start every freaking time.

Did I mention that the roof leaks?

Binding prayers, Gail.

Crap! Why do these things have to happen all at once? For what it's worth, a great Do-It-Yourself website is Fixitnow - Samurai Appliance Repair Man;

http://fixitnow.com/

Free step-by-step troubleshooting, diagrams and how to repair (with pitchers!)and even links for buying specific parts for almost every brand and model out there. I was able to tear down my old Maytag dryer and replace the motor and belt and I barely know how to use a screwdriver.

My roof leaks too, but that'$ gonna take a profe$$ional, dang it.

My dryer is up to tricks, but everything else--refrigerator, washer, disposal, dishwasher--has been replaced.

And the central air conditioner only works when it wants to.

Your house wasn't built over anything sacred, was it?

Poltergeist? No.

Poltergeists? Yes.

Howbeit that this kind only come out through prayer and fasting.

Or farting. I may have the wrong verse.

I know a good mechanic who's handy at those sorts of things, if you want a hand anyway.

Thanks, pb. Warren's dealt with some of it, but we might have to call in reinforcements.
