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?

Dishwasher update

Paw Paw sent me a text last night telling me to check Whirlpool's site because my dishwasher may be on the recall list. I cannot tell you how excited I was to see that because recall immediately translates to brand spankin' new dishwasher. I felt like one of those crazy Powerball people when the jackpot is really high, I was quadruple checking my numbers and sure enough...D....U...1 HOLLAR! Ring a ding ding!

I may or may not have thrown a fist pump (a la Jersey Shore) in the air when I saw that the first three matched. Now it came to the real test, did the serial number match? I entered it, answered their questions and began to have my doubts. They were asking if you had any parts fixed before 2004. 2004?! What about 2008???? Maybe mine was made in 2004 and has just been chilling at Lowe's? I hit enter and waited.....

And waited.....

And waited....

Nope, not recalled. Just busted with a part that is nowhere to be found. I didn't realize motherboards would take this long. Maybe it's still in China? Or on a cargo ship coming from China by way of Somalia and it's been hijacked by pirates and they are in hostage negotiations?

I would totally buy that excuse. It is so much more believable than any I've been given by the fine people of Lowe's.

They totally have the motherboard on that dingy little boat....
