    Extended Warranties

    Clark Howard might tell you that only stupid people waste money on extended warranties.

    At the Pearson household we have experienced a unique span wherein every single major electronic/mechanical appliance in our home has failed miserably, with the exception of the televisions [knock on wood]. To my dying day I will swear that my home was built upon an old Indian burial site, another reason the TV's have not gone out. The evil spirits must use the TV's to communicate or something.

    These are the items we have replaced/repaired within the last 18 months, from newest to oldest: Garage Door ($1,050), Garage Door Opener ($250), Refrigerator ($2,100), Washer & Dryer ($1,800), Dishwasher ($600), Central Air Conditioner ($600), Van Repairs ($2,000), Microwave Oven ($75), Two Grass Trimmers ($350), Repair of Old Garage Door/Opener ($200).

    Total for 18 months: $9,025.00

    And to top it off the kids broke the trampoline, which will likely NOT be replaced.

    I thought maybe it was because I had purchased crappy appliances. Noooooooo. When I built the house I asked my dad to get me middle/upper-end appliances that would last a long time. No cheap-o stuff for me, no sir-ee-bob. Everything that has been replaced has been upgraded and warrantied UP THE WAZOO. And guess what, Clark Howard??? The washer warranty has been used TWICE already, so KISS IT!

    Alas. The poltergeists proved to be very powerful. Blasted burial grounds. Blasted Clark Howard. Yay extended warranties!

    I'm all about extended warranties. I hear an echo of my own experiences. Amazing to see the numbers. It's a reality check

Which Intelligence?

http://www.blogthings.com/whatkindofintelligencedoyouhavequiz/

My results: Your Dominant Intelligence is Interpersonal Intelligence

You shine in your ability to relate to and understand others. Good at seeing others' points of view, you get how people think and feel. You have an uncanny ability to sense true feelings, intentions, and motivations. A natural born leader, you are great at teaching and mediating conflict.

You would make a good counselor, salesperson, politician, or business person.
