I'm sure there are things men would need to. Just not sure what.
Like a pogo stick?

I think you can do this. Use with caution (turn key OFF- use wood blocks to support back tires..ect.). Take the blade off first and take it with you to store. The replacement blade should be an EXACT duplicate.

I loved learning how to put in a kitchen sink. Very rewarding.


I also caught my first rainbow trout Sunday. (Most of the time I fly fish I am climbing trees to retrieve my fly). That fish was 18.5 inches long (monster by standards) -- I felt very butch. But I did feel sorry for the poor thing after- flopping around. Asked my H to "do it in" so it would not suffer! What a girl!

Not a pogo stick, sort of a battery that you can attach your jumper cables to.

ETA: Barbiecat, this forum is fun.... I think it's because most of the people posting here are through the drama and ennervating task of trying to salvage the unsalvagable. Day-to-day is more peaceful even though it's not "happy."

That is for sure. I love shutting the door in my XHs face and clicking the lock. I love hanging up on him when he starts to yell at me. I LOVE dead panning him when he goes on and on and saying to him something like, 'hmm....see ya on Wednesday.'

I think a divorce shower is a great idea.

The ramps I have are for XHs 4 wheeler....

Let's make divorce greeting cards!

"Sure, escaping Alcatraz was tough... but nothing compared to escaping my ex!"

"Here's to a free future--
Free of lying
Free of shouting
Free of strange perfume
Free of toilet seats in the wrong position
Free of remote hogs
Free of snarky remarks
Free of __________________
(Fill in name of X)"

And before anyone chimes in accusing me of being anti-marriage, I'm pro-healthy good marriages and anti destructive, abusive, miserable marriages. If you can't find a bunch of things to be grateful for in the divorce, then you shouldn't be getting divorced.*

*The Caveat to this is if you have a personality disorder and you are the complete problem to the marriage. In those cases, you may not find something to be happy about in getting divorced.

Whew!! I'm NOT crazy! I've been dreaming of the Divorce Shower since ww moved out and took all the wall dressings and most of the curtains, anything decorative, the bedroom set, the blender, and a bunch of kitchen utensils including the cooking knives. Yup, guys need stuff, too.

Oh, and I don't know how I've survived all these years without a dump truck! lol.

The ground (black) cables are connected first. The best way to do this is NOT terminal-to-terminal but terminal-to-metal (body part on the car needing the charge). Then attach the "hot" (red) cables, terminal-to-terminal.

BC I didn't mean to imply you didn't know what jumper cables were. I just was trying to clarify that they weren't what I meant when I say "thingy to jump your car."
