So our phone died Monday. I thought it was just the battery, since the battery hasn't been lasting as long as it used to, so I went to the battery store today to get a new one. The sales clerk there found me a new and improved one, then offered to put it in the new phone just to make sure it would work. He got it in, and still nothing happened. So he went to get the voltmeter. Another sales clerk just reached down, grabbed the phone and then he smelled it and said, "Nope, that's a dead phone." , and said I should smell it too. "Wierd" is what I thought. But I smelled it, and it smelled burnt. Yup, that's a sure-fire way to tell if an appliance is dead. Who needs voltmeters?
Soo...we're back in the "everything breaks" stage at our house. Oven -check. All 3 Phones -check. Roof got more holes from wind-check. Fish filter -check. Do these things happen to everyone else in stages too?
Oh well. At least that's all these things are: things.

I never knew that a phone had a smell. I just want to acknowledge that even though this is a different "stage" than what you wrote about yesterday, the good news is that it too will pass. :) Quickly, I hope.
yes! that happens to us too.
The good thing is, once the stage ass you usually get a nice break :-)
We seem to be in a different type of "everything breaks" phase. Our second fish in 2 weeks died the other day. Luckily, Jaxen thinks they're sleeping and we disposed of them and the tank when he wasn't looking. But, man! The first one we had, before kids, lived forever! But no, they didn't get fed too much. The first one, apparently the water they sell at Walmart for fish tanks is NOT the same Ph as the water their fish are in. ?!?! That probably killed the first one. Why is it for sale if it's not for their fish? I don't know what happened to the second guy. BUT, we've put an end to this particular "everything breaks" stage by my request that Jaron not bring home any more fish!
