I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but it has gotten to be a bit irritating for me. My mother does something that makes appliances break. I don't know how she does it. She has gone through four lamps, two remote controls, two phones, a microwave, and today her television. Why do things keep going under around her? I don't know. The only thing I can figure is that she is poking around on them too much or turning too hard. She is also having trouble with plumbing getting stopped up, even her bathroom sink. I don't know how anyone stops up a bathroom sink.
Just venting really. Today she dropped a pan of bacon grease on the floor, stopped up her bathroom sink, and the TV went on the fritz. Whatever happened must have been a short, because the lights kept flickering in my room. To try to solve it, she unplugged her phone and erased the memory of the numbers I put into it. Argh!!! Going crazy here.
When I first moved in, I had no idea that I would be here so long that we would be cycling through home repairs and appliance replacements. Oy.
So, what to do? I can't link to blue tooth, because she wouldn't be able to learn to use it. In-home repair would probably cost as much as a new TV. Replacing makes the most sense, but the TV is heavy (40") and set on a glass table. I mean pure glass -- 3 panels of it. :-( Wish there were some men around here. I'm not very strong.
Anybody know the technicalities of TV repair and replacement? I need some guidance. I don't know a lot about TVs.
