I know the saying says that deaths come in threes, but I hope that doesn't extend to "bad things" in general.

One, 's old car (that is, the one we were saving for ) died yesterday. One of the valve seals in the head cylinder has gone bad, so the car runs well enough when the engine is cold, but cylinder #1 goes out once the engine warms up. Both

Bad things do come in threes, but your two bad things are along the vehicle dimension, not the health dimension. I don't think that there's anything to worry about until the next time one of you tries to drive somewhere.

Perhaps I should go out and purposely drive car over a nail, just to get it out of the way. Would that count?

(Actually, I do have a third thing (well, second, really, as it happened after #1 but before #2 (so #2 would really be #3)), but it's health-related. Would that count??)

[guppiecat]

Well, sorta. You have to "accidentally" drive over a nail. Driving over one on purpose won't work, but driving in a construction zone lots of times would.

And no, the third thing still has to be along the same dimension as the first two. If your other thing is health related, the score is:

Vehicles: 2
Health: 1

You haven't gone far enough on the health dimension to have a line yet, so you may or not get two more. You are due one more on vehicles though.

Given that each of these sounds more annoying than devastating, I think they are the three (sorry guppiecat)--and you wife's surgery is going to lead to annoyance.

Get ready to play nurse! ;-)

Oh, I never said any of this was devastating. It's all annoyances so far, agreed.

Still, it's...annoying! :-D
