I don't need no stinkin man...

[moosmom]

My stereo was on the fritz. It's an older Sony and for some reason I couldn't turn up the volume. I thought, "Oh no, another repair bill." So I got to thinking. I took the speaker wires out and looked at them. The ends were rusted. I cut off the rusted end, stripped the covering so that the copper wire was exposed. I put them back into the speaker connections on the back of the stereo. Lo and behold, there was the beautiful voice of Josh Groban full blast!!!

Damn I'm good!!!!

Yay Donna!

Like I told a good friend of mine - the only thing I miss about not having a man in my life - is someone to snuggle up to in bed on a cold night!. On the other hand - little Sparky is always willing to accommodate!

You sure are Donna, but I think you need at least ONE guy in your life! (A guy from Pittsburgh)

"A loaf o' bread, a jug o' wine; I don't need no valentine". Men are good as accessories but I'd rather have a good piece of jewelry. KIDDING! As for the cuddling bit, my Fur Posse fills the bill. Atta girl, Donna!

Brian already reminded me once today its a family site so I will behave and keep my mouth closed!

You see things on a /really/ different angle than most.

I definitely have to agree with you on this post. When my husband of 17 years left me 6 years ago I thought my life was over. Boy was I wrong! I have learned to take care of myself and my home on my own. My teenaged daughter and I have fixed numerous things around the house over the years. My only problem is I am barely 5'2" tall! My kitties and Casey are much better snugglers than my husband ever was.

I'm w/ya on that one. I'm the same height and that's my biggest gripe. I can't reach anything w/out climbing a ladder and I'm not supposed to do that any more. We do come into our own when men aren't around, don't we? Although, for the record, my ex-husband is very good to me. And he was always quite the handyman but I can still do quite a few things on my own, as most women can and as Donna has discovered.

Good for you, Donna! I was single for 10 years and I learned to do a lot of things on my own that I would not have done when I was married. Now that I'm married again, there are some things that my husband wants to handle for me. The good thing is that he knows I could do it, I just let him do it instead.

I beat you two at it - I am only 4'9".. and I *hate* it.

[RICHARD]

I am 6'2" and need a woman to take care of the down to earth things.

Touche'

Oh, now, stop bragging!!! I'm only 4'9"!!! I'd love to be even 5'!!!

I never minded being short until I lived alone. Before then, I was "petite" or "diminutive". Now I'm just plain short.
