Jay, Re your comment over at my house...yes, actually there are women who are capable of taking the car in for an oil change. Not b/c their husband tells them to, not b/c the little sticker says it's time, but b/c She, herownself knows it's time. I've also changed the oil myself a time or two. I regularly check the other fluids, top them off, not only in my car, but in my Mom's car as well. I've installed ceiling fans, assembled furniture, painted rooms, cleaned guns, hooked up computers, printers, stereos, VCRs, DVD players, set up tents, built fires, changed flats, and taught these skills to my chirrens [a girl and a boy, now grown]. Is it any wonder my Dearly Beloved adores me in return?
Oh,yeah, Jay, now that it's been a couple of days [or daze] I'm gonna lower the wheels on the mower and go out and redo the whole yard. Yeah, you could say I'm a bit OCD myself. I'd say I was anal-retentive, but I don't want to be tagged as a Freudian.
I'm with Buck. A woman who's not afraid to get her hands dirty is a-okay in my book! :)
And, for the record, I cook, clean, and do laundry at least half the time at Casa G, even if Mrs. G has never pushed a mower or touched a snow shovel... ;)
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to find my machete so I can hack my way through the underbrush in my front yard...

Open Invitation for New Shooters
Just want to extend an open invitation to all potential new shooters in the Northern Virginia area. If you have never shot a firearm, or would like to get back into the shooting sports, or are an accomplished shooter who'd like to try something in my arsenal, give me a shout.
New shooters get range time, targets, gun use and ammo on me. I've even got extra eye and ear protection - all you have to do is show up.

Be careful what you wish for. ;-]
Uh oh, you've now tempted both Murphy and O'Toole to come out and deliver the mother of all smackdowns!
Sarah,
Glad you brought up O'Toole's Corollary !!!!!
Heh heh heh. Good point.
Sarah, I'm assuming that O'Toole is the one who said Murphy was an optimist?
I'm of the opinion, and it is never more true then when dealing with MA drivers, that "things are never so bad that they can't get worse"...

HollyB I don't care if you are 251 years old.
You are still my kind of woman.
Buck,
blushing, Thank you, Sir.
