Today, twice in one day, I got very good news.
I certainly wasn't on pins and needles to hear this particular news, maybe that's why it was such a lift.
One: Our insurance made good on their portion of our ER Dr. bill. Alleviating our outstanding debt of $300. Nice. This amount has been under deliberation for 9 months now and I am quite relieved to be on the winning end of that deal.
Two: The crusty, barely adequate dishwasher that we inherited when we bought our house was recalled. As long as that dishwasher worked, I knew I would never get another one. Mostly because dishwashers aren't really a necessity, but a luxury - so I de-scaled it, and kept using it, secretly hoping it would get secretly replaced with secret extra money. Yeah right!
Today in the mail, we received notice that it has been deemed a fire hazard - Go figure!
We will receive a check in the mail to compensate us toward the purchase of a new dishwasher!!
I went to our local scratch and dent appliance place with my mom today and found one that will neither set our house on fire, nor growl and churn for hours while cleaning the dishes. Sara_smiles' daddy owns that store and you should go there first if you ever find yourself needing a new appliance - he will hook you up!

Scratch and dent is the way to go! yes. yes. he will hook you up... and talk your ear plum off. :) Also, I've heard (through another person going through the same thing) that the big check to go toward replacement will be... get ready ... $75. Albeit, $75 is better than no dollars. :) Hope you enjoy your new-found appliance.
