Murphy again

It's that time of year again,
The "Sewing machine breaks down again"
The "if it ain't that, it'll be the washer"
time of year...

Poor, poor beloved Janome. It's in The Grumpy Old Man's shop right now, being cherished and refurbished while he grumbles to himself in the background about ignorant women who take perfectly lovely machines to butchers such as the Tidewater Sew & Vac folks before bringing them to him as a responsible owner would.

*sigh*

He's supposed to call me if the repair costs rival the price of a new machine. I anticipate a couple of hundred dollars worth of work - but really, where would I find a decent hardworking machine that can handle tons of demin-strength fabric for less than that? Certainly not in today's machines that I have seen.

Oh. My. Goodness.
I had no idea there was a name for it...
(Why is it a label makes something so stressful more bearable?)
(That was a rhetorical question.)
