RE: guy topics< duct tape

<chuckle> I have some "honey do" jobs that don't get done, and I have a
husband.  And then on those occasions when he does try to "help" with
gardening work, he generally just creates more work for me to clean up
later.  I don't want to think about the plants he's mowed, weed-whacked, or
buried...  he's of the "if it's not blooming it's a weed" mindset, whether
the plant's in a garden bed or not.  And if I haven't managed to weed a bed
for a while, look out!  I do the best I can with the time I have...
challenges build character, right?

You are SO right about that darling! Poor Mike (Elaine's husband) is
SUCH a good sport about doing my "guy jobs". He put a nice new brass
outdoor spigot in for me last night, that old galvanized mess was a
wreck and leaked and spurted everywhere.

I'll take them out for Italian next week (they're going to Houston
Friday) for "payment". Kitty - don't any of your friends have husbands
that are handy and like to go out to dinner?? It's a great system, if
not terribly great for my diet....
