Technical Difficulties

My PDA has been acting up lately. It's holding a full charge, but the power button hasn't been working. That means I sometimes can't turn it on when I need to add an appointment, check for a phone number, or type an update for my blog. I can bypass this problem by plugging it into the charger, which automatically turns it on, but of course that only works at home. The whole idea of a PDA is to be able to use it wherever. Still, replacing it would cost upwards of $250, which isn't an option right now. Then there's the TV, which has started occasionally shutting itself off for a few seconds at a time, right in the middle of whatever you're watching, sometimes several times in an hour. Maybe it has a short or something. Parts of the display numbers on our alarm clock radio are burning out. And of course, there's the issue of our washing machine, which Dave has been able to partially fix, but it's always a gamble of whether or not it will decide to work when you throw in a load. It seems that all the electronics in our home have decided to threaten a strike at the same time. Here's praying that the cars don't decide to join in next! :) At least the computer and internet is working fine. We've been able to sell a few items we don't need by posting them on Craig’s List, which is free. So far we've sold an extra VCR we never used and a few Epson ink cartridges. I've listed a couple dresses, too, but no nibbles on those yet. Still, the bit of extra cash we've generated so far has been helpful.
