The possessed VCR
I have 3 VCR's in the house so I can record anytime I want and then play my programs at a later time and fast forward through the commercials and save myself alot of time.
I have one VCR that is possessed, we are convinced of it for sure. It is electric, just like all the others in the world, but each night when I go to replace that days tape, the clock has a different time on it. It was orginally set as the same time as the one below it and each night it is off anywhere from 5 minutes to 6 hours and various minutes. It is never the same time and once in a great while, it is only 3 minutes off. We laugh about it at night and wonder what time will show up. The difference is never the same, always something different.
This is not a old VCR, in fact, it is the newest one and a good brand name. Maybe it is resetting itself to the Japanese time? But, then, why the different time each night. Never the same time two nights in a row.
I wonder if it self changing has anything to do with the motion I catch out of the corner of my eyes sometimes at night???
I am sure with this house being 65 years old, there are alot of stories it holds.
Do you have any similar ones to share?

Well GH, at least they're not conspiring against you!......
Went out to mow the lawn last week, and my main mower was a little recalcitrant
(Wow, how 'bout that word, Sports fans?) about starting.
I finally got it running, only to get it stuck down near the pond about an hour later. I went to get the backup mower to pull mower #1 out, and it had a dead battery.
Hooked up the charger for an hour while I got a quick bite to eat.
Back to mower #2 to start and rescue mower #1, only to find the front tire flat!
(I don't normally use profanity....
honest!)
GB...
I can truly feel your pain.
This is a total mystery to us.
Hopefully you will have a better week coming up with the mowers.
