You gave me some serious insight: I have to learn how to cook. T_T

I might need to go talk to the closest fire station.

But.... now that you have shed that attitude, you will be more willing to learn new things, or so I hope.

You know, that has been an interesting side benefit..willingness to learn new things. I hadn't thought about that until you mentioned it.

Working with your hands is one of the most satisfying past times there is. Creating something beautiful that you can stand back from and admire is exhilarating. Even the most intellectual of people understand that once they've gotten their hands dirty.

As someone who does a lot of this sort of thing, my only advice is not too fall off of ladders or use power tools on yourself. It takes longer to heal at our age and scars are no longer sexy; just disfiguring.

Jesus was a carpenter.

I wonder if he ever f**ked stuff up? "God damn it Jesus, those bookshelves are lopsided." I guess it would be "scroll shelves"

I'm very good with my hands...

...I cross-stitch and crochet.

James, don't you notice how you no longer zip up the ladder quite so fast and are a bit more cautious hanging over the edge of a roof when you get to 'our age' Or is that just me? . My mind still tells me I'm 20, body doesn't keep up quite so well anymore

I spent a lot of time doing this stuff in my thirties. Now I just want to call somebody and arrange to have my needs satisfied and my desires met.

Don't they call that an escort service?

Oh, so THAT'S why they keep taking off my clothes. I THOUGHT that was a little weird.

:pickaxe:

The plumber I hired was hot as hell. Dumb as a rock, but hot as hell. I should have hired him as an escort, f**ked him, then asked him to do the plumbing just as a favor. Probably would have been cheaper.
