*giggles* Sounds like your radio is suffering from power surges. It might help if you get one of those surge-protector extension cords and plugged it into that. We did the same with our plug-in doorbell - sometimes it would ring when no-one was there. Not only that, but it made the wrong noise, which had us suspecting that it was someone's mobile going off for ages.

As for the rest of it - don't worry. Livejournal is an excellent place to write down things that are getting you stressed, and I know it helps. Keep going, hon. We understand.
