Another One Bites the Dust

When I came home from my conference on Tuesday evening I noticed the fridge was making a strange noise, so I went into the kitchen and saw the pool of water. Seriously...another fridge bites the dust.

The mad dash to salvage what I could began and it begs the question, why do appliances hate us?

This is our third fridge in five years. I'm not even kidding. I'm starting to believe that there is some kind of electrical problem because there is no way we could have purchased three lemons. Well, at least I hope our luck isn't that bad.

Thankfully, I caught the damage before I had to eat the contents. I did have to throw out everything in our freezer though, which wasn't a lot since we have a chest freezer in the garage.

Am I crazy in thinking there is a much larger problem here? Anyone else have this happen?

Whoever said Rule of 3 is a Liar.

So I've always been taught that things happen in 3's. Chances are if something breaks, two more things will follow. I'm hear to tell you that's a load of crap. From my calculations I'm over 3 by at least 2. Here's the timeline:

1. Toilet in our bathroom overflows, the entire inside of the tank needs to be replaced.
2. Toilet in the kids bathroom won't flush and sewage is now coming up the bathtubs. Roots are in the pipes causing this problem.
3. Explorer won't start, turns out the engine is pretty much shot.
4. Coffee pot is not brewing full pots and spills water out all over the place. Essentially it has been on life support for a month now and it cannot be resuscitated, pronounced dead at 8 am. I did honor the proper mourning period and waited until that night to get a new coffee pot. And yes, I went for a younger, hotter, model (What up Keurig?!).
   
5. Dishwasher stops working mid cycle, lights will not turn on and there is water in the bottom. (this happened last night)
   

See...rule of 3 my behind. When the coffee pot went Scott and I assumed that maybe the whole plumbing problem was looped into one, but I say bs, it's all separate. I'm debating having our house exorcised blessed and maybe that will help. Thoughts?
