milo, with the free standing light going poof, are you sure its not just the bulb. I had one for years and always found the bulbs went farily quickly.

Milo, we hit no 3 last week. First my deep freezer died, then the microwave and last week the washing machine. All had to be repaced. It has been a very expensive few weeks! Glenda.

Ouch Glenda. That's real bad luck.
Milo, how many times do you have to be told not to put a wet finger into the light socket. LOL
You may need to look at bulbs and connections. Age can cause problems such as faulty wiring and connections.

Oh dear. What have I started?
Mind you, I can relate unfortunately. I have a 35 year old brain inside this 62 year old head. Not fair!

Sometimes I think I have and 80 year old head in this 58 year old body. disbelief

This 3s thing gets serious when you see a snake one day , have a close encounter with another one the next day , and spend the next few days wondering when the hell you are going to clash with the third one .

Should be set with those three for a little while now Glenda, but they do only make things nowadays to last just past the warranty period. Oh for the "good old days" when it wasn't a throw away society and you could expect an appliance to serve you faithfully for a few years.

Cheers!

got in touch with our sparky, coming over on wednesday/thursday , so hopefully wont be a too big a job ..

Pejay · Guru

It sure is 'real' for us, we had three friends pass away in a week, the week before we headed off - felt like we wanted to 'run away'!

well , sparky's been and gone, found out a fuse had blown out the box thingy outside,
all fixed and back to normal i hope!!

03_troopy · Guru

Is that the Fuse Box thingy on your house, where the fuse thingies live? And where you're most likely to find a blown fuse thingy? if it is, then you need to find out which thingy blew the fuse thingy... or it will do it again once the fuse is replaced.

milo · Guru

it was an old fuse in the fuse box thing on the house, so he's replaced the whole fuse with a new one..
so all good, he checked all the power points in the house, we think the light stand which i had for years had
worn out and caused the problem,

and i also asked him if he could put in an a tv areal in the bedroom so i can watch'
tv in bed which will also be great.. lets hope this week is an event free weekend!!

milo · Guru

well i figured this would happen, all set to go do my show tonite,
my 2004 mazda2 started, got out the gargage and then she wouldnt start again..
lights and ignition come on but not enough to start the engine..
id normally ring the nrma but getting late and they wouldnt get here for a couple hours any ways
so will lock her up and ring in the morning... id push her back in but stupid power stearing wont work with out the engine running
will i ever get a break.???
