Okay, if we are going to share. Our 60" Sony rear projection LCD TV went out, it's one month out of warranty. They have to change a light bulb inside. Cost: $500.00

My hubby's SUV started driving rough. Thought it was transmission, got that serviced, didn't help. Took it to mechanic, spent $250 or so, didn't fix it. Took to dealer, replaced a bunch of electronic stuff. Cost: $800.00

Melissa's Sony VAIO laptop is having monitor problems. It's about 1 month out of warranty, too. We were going to send it off for repair, but it's working okay now, so we are putting it off. Repair estimate according to Sony: $168 if no parts are required. $750 to replace monitor if it is required.

Got a call from Melissa, in addition to the $200 in fees for her scuba class, she needs $500 for equipment that she did not anticipate when she signed up for the course. We've worked it out, and I think she's happy with the arrangement.

All of this happened within a 2 week span. Oh, and we got our American Express bills with our Christmas expenses.

Ain't life grand?????
