[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 204770, member: 10543"] Have y'all ever had one of those periods in life where everything breaks at once? In the last two weeks: * My D5100 shutter failed (at Nikon service center) * The dishwasher door spring broke. I fixed the spring, but the door was been dropped enough to bend a support bracket * The garage door opener motor broke. After 22+ years and many DIY repairs, I'm finally going to install a new opener * The microwave is making a funny knocking sound upon startup * The bathroom shower pan is leaking To be fair, our house is of that age where everything is reaching the end of its normal lifespan all at once. I'm fairly handy, but there's a limited number of hours in a day to fix stuff. At these times I recall my mother's sound advice, when she says "If money can fix it, it's not so bad." It helps put things in perspective and promotes the more important blessings not borne of possessions. [/QUOTE]
