They both gave up the ghost in the same week.

Appliances and gadgets...when they work, they are great. When they don't work, it's frustrating, especially when it's a kitchen appliance you count on. Earlier in the week, my blender gave up the ghost and just died of old age. I knew it was getting old, but it worked well for years. Fine...I have (well, I had one) what is called a Magic Bullet. It was probably 20 years old, it was a totally wonderful gadget that would chop things, make smoothies and milkshakes, you name it. The kids loved it. Today, it decided life was no longer worth living without his old buddy, the blender. I know it's not the outlet I used, as I always use the blender on a different outlet .completely--it's closer and there is more room there. We are now blender-less and Magic Bullet-less. We do still have a mixer, so that will work for now. My son said he couldn't remember ever not having the Magic Bullet. I know we had a good long run with both of them, but for them to croak just a few days apart is frustrating.
