Death of an Appliance

Must be the end of the warranty period, but lately we've had several things die. It started in January with one iron, then one printer, then the other iron, and the second printer died, too! Shortly afterward my curling iron stopped working, and today the hair trimmers stopped buzzing. We think the hot water heater is on its last leg, and one of the two heat pumps is grinding down (soon to halt). At least our marriage has lasted 20 years :-)
