 I did as Mr. Romney advised, but my crew forgot to restock the jet with champagne and caviar!
 Without proper provisions, that flight to the Caymans was distinctly lacking in  je ne sais quoi!   :toporly:

  Yes it does!  I once got a wee steam burn on my finger because of that beastly machine!  :'(

My massage chair broke and I'll have to wait a week before the new one arrives.

  My android phone was unusable for a few minutes yesterday while installing updates. 
  I might have been forced to use my landline and dial by hand!  I shouldn't have to do that!  :'(

Fresh coffee is a need for luxurious living.

That you have to make it yourself is an abominable problem indeed.

pressure relief valve on water heater has evidently been leaking for a while

It is leaking like an open faucet now

Had to cut water off, of course the water heater itself is cut off at the breaker box

Hoping they can replace the valve tomorrow

  I need a coffee concierge or something, but I can't afford full-time staff.  :'(

  The power strip in the living room seems to have died, so I had to unplug my air conditioner from it
  and plug the air conditioner directly into the outlet, and it was hot in the room and I was tired from work.  :'(
