Hi Ranchie! Thanks for the giggles!
Do you always beat up your appliances with a hammer? Maybe that is why they fight back.
Miss_jayne, do get a stand mixer. They are marvelous. Mine is only an Oster, but it is nearly 30 years old, and can still mix all day. My arms would fall off if I had to use a hand mixer for those days. (When mine dies, I will get a KitchenAid.)
