Murphy's Law

"If something can go wrong, it will." Why does the automatic window motor always quit when the window is down? You can always roll a window down, but not always back up. One of our old cars had a window that would roll down OK, but you had to push it up while pushing the automatic button. Is the best option to have it up? Connor rolled the back window down in the Titan on Saturday and the motor chose to stop working, which means that it would not go back up. Then it began to rain. Then we got on the highway. Remember how the air pressure will drive you nuts when only one window is down on the highway? It was a looonnngg ride home. Dad took the Titan back to the shop where it was repaired several months ago after an accident. They will replace it without charge. BUT FIRST we have to take it back to Nissan to make sure there isn't a recall on that part, because it is a notorious problem with Nissan's. At least they rolled the window up (and taped it shut) and promised to fix it if Nissan doesn't. All is well that ends well. Life's little nuisances are funny aren't they? Nuisance is a funny word, too.

Life's little nuisances are funny until you have to drive home with the window open and it is raining. If there was a recall for the Titan, you should have recieved a notice of it. It is nice that they will repair it if Nissan doesn't. To bad Nissan cannot get some of the quirks worked out, because they do build a nice vehicle.

Oh ick. Murphy's law worked hard on us this last weekend! I wish I had the energy to blog about it now lol. Now I remember what I was going to use for my next blog entry =). Thanks for reminding me! But sorry about the car window =(.

Sorry my kid broke your car. Thanks for the boat ride, though. I really enjoyed the skiing part.

I don't like that saying! I'm too close to the end of this pregnancy that I don't want to hear that something WILL go wrong. Bad pessimism.. Baaaaad!

I have a clip on my computer from the Red Green Show. The bearded guy starts off the clip by asking, "Do you ever feel that not having an automatic window in your car makes you feel lower middle class?" He then proceeds to show you how to remedy that by using a battery-powered hand mixer. It was hilarious! Since the two mixer blades work in opposite directions, you can use it to make your window go up OR down. Let me know if you want me to send you the link!
