My blowdriers never last more than a year…ever. You think I’d get smart at some point and buy a backup at say 6 months, just to be safe, but no…once a year like clockwork is goes bad and I end up with horrible hair one morning becaue it died halfway through.

Thank you, Jeni. Not just for the comments and support along the way, but for bothering enough to read, and to care.

And sorry about the last minute mix up!

Although you remind me of my dilemma as to whether I should buy a new hair dryer to prepare for when mine craps out on me. I have had it for, like, ten years. If you shake it, something inside rattles. And if the room temperature is too cold, when you turn it on it makes an awful screeching noise, which goes away when you turn it off and then on again. It’s like it’s warning me to be ready. If I had to go to work with my hair wet I might get fired for utter indecency to human sight, so I wonder if I should have a backup plan. Just in case.
