I was preparing to announce the loss of my dear friend and traveling companion of 34 year (Yes, you heard me right) my Clairol 1250 tiny hair dryer. She finally bit the dust. Wires frayed, screws stripped from being disassemble and cleaned so many times. I searched the web for clever words and entered "Ode to a Hair Dryer" and here we are. I am not alone in my loss and your clever story helped me write my own obituary for the close relationship I shared with my dryer. Thanks.

I will mourn with you. I've had my hair dryer for 9 years, and I think I might cry when it bites the dust. I love it. I think the end is near (it kind of smells when I use it).

I mourn the loss of your hairdryer with you. Replacing hairdryers is not an easy task. I am so sorry you have to go through this adjustment period.

On another related note, my hairdryer for my tenure in Oxford was provided by dearest Janie, who left a box of much-needed treasures in my room. Such a sweet thought.

Also, I too spent about $80 on a carefully-chosen trench coat for Oxford, which is also still worn today.

And don't ask me about my black Gap sweater. It's about as heartbreaking a story as your hairdryer's funeral.

PS, the word verification for today's comment: frandili. What the heck.
