I should print out the second quote in large letters and put it as a banner over my tool and fix-it shelf.

The first quote very much reminds me of a X cousin X removed, adopted at that, who lived in a world of its own.

First one reminds me of my ex changing the oil in the Rover 105S.

Close to a genius and wowed everyone---I quietly put the chains on the car during the cold months and mowed the grass and painted the house in the warmer months.

He would bring me wildflowers and melt my Yankee heart----he's a Yankee, also----and that's how he got away with so much for 18 years.

I'd rather bushwhack and drink coffee whenever I want!!! :o)

Oh, the second one rings my bell. Just had one of the toilets over flowing. No warning, no flashing buttons, nothing to signal that there was a potential problem, it just overflowed.
Sigh.............
