Haha!<br /><br />It’s great that you were able to fix it. I myself have abysmal skills in plumbing, so I know that being a guy isn’t the only requirement in fixing sinks. I suppose I could learn, but I don’t want to deprive the plumbers a customer.

Heck no, you put on your big girl panties and you take yourself to Home Depot to get parts if you can. I have found that Home Depot has come a long way on how to treat women.

I have climbed on ladders, crawled under sinks. <br />While I feel a good bit of pride in my ability to spit and such, I always ended up getting hurt after a couple of installs and furniture moving. <br />Now, I leave the tools and the stuff on the kitchen cabinet, right by the fridge.Susan Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834094675218254410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873393837725772745.post-2425451932941900542012-01-24T13:31:23.190-05:002012-01-24T13:31:23.190-05:00Loved it!

Do I really have to answer this? Really? The only thing Tony is completely in charge of is picking out the produce.<br /><br />"Do you fix things in your bikini since it seems to be all the rage?" Um No. I wear my jammies usually and my OSHA approved flip flops. I have a friend though who wanted a giant bean bag chair/ couch for her house. The only place she could find it was a porn site. So, the gigantic box arrives from UPS, with an instructional video on how to assemble her new bean bag furniture. And of course, the woman in the video needed to strip down completely naked before getting a wrench. So of course, my friend... she had to get completely naked too...Julihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10097214923216967086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873393837725772745.post-79359955523017687992012-01-23T18:11:02.698-05:002012-01-23T18:11:02.698-05:00I don't recall ever having heard the word &quo...I don't recall ever having heard the word "shitball" before & trust me, I've heard a LOT of words. I will add this forthwith to my vocabulary. Thank you.<br /><br />I am (big surprise) reminded of a joke: A man calls a plumber because his faucet is stopped up--no water comes out at all. The plumber studies the situation, takes out his wrench & taps on the faucet with it. Once. The water starts flowing immediately. He hands the man a bill for $400.00. The man says, "That's ridiculous--I want an itemized bill!" The plumber writes out a new bill & hands it to the man. It says, "Tapping on one faucet with one wrench--$1.00. Knowing where to tap--$399.00."fishduckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07334973392362918928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873393837725772745.post-8644561634128292322012-01-23T17:56:36.371-05:002012-01-23T17:56:36.371-05:00Funny story.

The most recent thing came when our garbage disposal went kaput. I decided to just remove it and replace it with drain pipes. Not as easy as I thought. Leaks everywhere and finally I gave up and called a handyman (usually much cheaper than a plumber). He got it fixed but relished in showing me the things that I had screwed up and he had to fix.<br /><br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://wrotebyrote.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Wrote By Rote</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873393837725772745.post-60504920042026430462012-01-23T16:48:46.388-05:002012-01-23T16:48:46.388-05:00I do everything in a bikini.

Then I carry on, and if I can't manage on my own, I call FYM or The H and cry or I call one of the men in my Husband Collection. However, I'd be perfectly open to having a woman in my Husband Collection because women can do anything if they get the chance to learn. I do not yet have a plumber in my collection. If you lived here, I would definitely pick you for the plumber post. I don't fix things while wearing my bikini, however. I don't want to mess it up because then I couldn't wear it for photo shoots (a.k.a. amateur porn). I wear a bra and pink granny panties.<br /><br />Love,<br />JanieJanie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873393837725772745.post-27282452238094916232012-01-23T14:37:52.312-05:002012-01-23T14:37:52.312-05:00At the risk of incurring groans by using a tired, ...At the risk of incurring groans by using a tired, over-used phrase - "You go girl!"<br />ps - I love the line "I pulled up my pants and spit into the snow". :)Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17044224027343776064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873393837725772745.post-67279969999759810322012-01-23T13:51:42.846-05:002012-01-23T13:51:42.846-05:00I LOVE the potato gun!

I'm a wyoming girl; so that is one of our favorite past times; going into the field to shoot the potato gun and see how far it can get. lol<br /><br />I learn to be quite independent when the husband was deployed. I learned to check all the liquids in the car, check tire pressure, hang up shelves and pictures, move furniture that was to heavy to move, change light bulbs, put all those irritating 3 hr long toys together for the kids. And by golly, I took the trash out too! You know...all the "men's" jobs. I don't think any one job is meant for a man or women (except childbirth)and that one shouldn't do a "man's job" or a "women's job" but I do so love when the husband jumps in and fixes things around the house so I don't have to. <br /><br />Good luck on the faucet; I know you will totally whoop that sink into shape before Cade gets home! <a href="http://www.jadelouisedesigns.com" rel="nofollow">JadeLouise Designs</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15749906092285024917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873393837725772745.post-2749606345002401342012-01-23T13:21:08.208-05:002012-01-23T13:21:08.208-05:00You go girl!!!!

I used to do a few things like changing washers and such--had a book on home repairs--built my own flower boxes and toy boxes for my son when he was little. Harder to do much now because of permanent muscle damage to my left arm so that I can't push, pull, grip, or carry much. Took a lot of getting used to to adjust to not being as independent after all those years of doing things myself as much as possible. But I do know the feeling. It was wonderful!
