Place curse words here

Every time Ben takes off for a hunting trip, malfunction occurs. Yes, there are the Sammy malfunctions but they happen if Ben is here or not so I'm not talking about our miserable evening of rudeness and whining fueled by too much Halloween candy and not enough sleep.

I'm talking about household malfunctions. Last year the kitchen faucet started acting up and I thought I'd have to figure out how to replace it. The year before that we had a gas leak. Then there was the time where one of his small safes started beeping and beeping and beeping until finally I had to take it down into the basement and bury it under everything I could find just so I couldn't hear it any longer.

Tonight the element in the oven turned into a giant sparkler. While it was beautiful to look at, it certainly isn't worth the hassle of the repair. I'm hoping that replacing the element will be sufficient but as I read about the repair, it appears that there are all sorts of other possible electrical problems that can happen along with the element burn out.

Keep your fingers crossed for me, will you? And tell Ben he can never ever go on a trip again.
