Technology

It's amazing what can be done with technology!  Appliances and other household things might not hold up like they used to, but technology can hold it's own.  I'll back up a little bit here... In the past few weeks, we've had to replace our kitchen sink... twice.. because the first replacement was defective.  The dryer is in several pieces, waiting for a part to arrive. (The part was researched and ordered online).  Yesterday, the fridge (only a few years old) decided it was tired of keeping our food cold and making ice cubes, so it went kaput.  After going back and forth about whether we should move our basement fridge upstairs and deciding we shouldn't risk it quitting as a result of the move, we researched prices online on our gadgets as we were on our way to my parents' house this morning.  Found a good Thanksgiving sale deal. Thought about it during the day. And ordered it complete with free shipping while we were on our way home.  Amazing how easily you can spend several hundred dollars... without setting foot in a store.
