Are Just Happier People-- What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell you the truth..You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Wrinkles add character. . The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time.
Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend.
Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck.
You can play with toys all your life. Your belly usually hides your big hips. One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can "do" your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache.
You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.

MMM Yep.:cool:

But women should be happy to wear white t shirts to water parks and it should be mandatory only a t shirt no undergarment.:o

Garage, used to think it was mine. Now kids 11 and 7 are taking it over. Wife tried to with rubbish but the reciprocating saw came out to protect my bastion. Kids sneek in but at least they are using the shed for what it was designed for.:)

No No No - thats the thin edge of the wedge.
Garages need protection, get out the angle grinder, tune the mower/chainsaw, start welding ANYTHING, you dont know what you've got till you loose it;)

Exactly, next thing, she will be putting up Cafe curtains over the miss-matched windows, and Doily's under the vice.

Nope the kids including my daughter are great in the shed. I supervised them removing the axles from the Fender last week to check for broken axles. Outstanding I thought, got to sit back and have a bourbon and play workshop supervisor. I am proud to say I will have a daughter that will know her way around a car. Een the missus helps me with most mechanical work. I think it is fantastic they know their way round a shed. Just no power tool while I am not there.
Al good.

oh hell no...

Alex has already worked out that when some of his toys dont work as expected he needs to get new baddis in them AND the little bugger knows which of the 2 screwdrivers I usually use suit some of them. The little fella on a couple of occasions now has fronted up at knee level (they get there quick dont they) with toy and appropriate driver in hand giving it "dada baddis" while poking AT the screw that holds the battery cover in place with the screwdriver...

Screw top bottles if left loose get opened...

I can see it now hes going to goto kindy one day and Im going to get the phone call "why does your son want to know where the grinders and welders are when we do building time?"

Same here...I help Numpty with just about everything that needs doing...we've built a house together, we've done mechanical work together, we've made furniture together...Numpty has even helped me make curtains...its a team effort in this house :D

Funny story...

a woman stopped at our front gate one day with a flat tyre. I went out to see of she needed and hand and she said she had no idea how to change the tyre and would call RACQ. I told her about time she learnt and gave her instructions while she did the changing :D:D
I bet she went home and told her hubby about that one :D:D
Good stuff Numpty's Missus.
There needs to be more women like this.:cool:
Nothing mor pathetic than seeing a woman not know how to check oil or change a tyre. Even worse to see the ones that drive a car and expect to not have to do it.
Reverse scenario.
I was doing suturing at a Paramedic course the other day and was not real confident on my neatness, when the instructor comented leaning over my liver, we can see who is the embroiderer here. Yes I do sew at home whne required.
Same a couple of weeks back meeting new people when one of the guys commented on the cheescake and then was amazed when he found out I made it not one of the ladies.
I do not believe in sex stereo types.

When my late wife was about eighteen, after much asking, her father (a colonel in RAEME) finally agreed to allow her to get a motor scooter. When it arrived, he proceeded to pull it to bits to "show her how it works".

When in a large number of pieces, he handed her the spanners, wiped his hands clean, and said "OK, now you put it back together - you saw how it cam apart" She did, although she admitted it never ran quite right.

When I had my wrecking yard a few years ago I was amazed at how many women were happy to attempt to fit stuff themselves, I never knocked them but was ready to lend a hand if needed, mostly they did a good job, banging on mirrors and door handles, had one girl do an alternator in a Ford Laser by herself and these are a bugger off a job for even the best mechanic,

Then there were the well dressed public servent males who were pretty boys and didnt want to get there hands dirty, most were just totally ignorant when it came to fixing stuff, couldnt even change a light bulb coz they didnt know how to use a screw driver.

I did my front brakes on my AU this arvo as the missus burned them down to nothing, took me a little under 6 mins a side from tyre off to on, real easy next time I am showing Maryanne how to do some basic jobs, she is expressing more interest these days, when the shed is cleaned out and the Series one is squeezed in we can burn the oil any time we like, we find as the kids are ageing we are seeking more time to ourselves doing us stuff, we have always had a 50/50 deal and in ten years we have only had one real argument, had a couple of heated conversations but in the main we are 2 peas in the same pod, we Virgos are the quiet ones who dont like confrontation.
