Confession # 77

I am not a do-it-yourselfer…
(That is not a double entendre)

I am a little ashamed to admit this, but I am not very good at fixing things around the house. So, I rely on the kindness of my gentlemen friends to help me with anything I do not want to do or learn how to do; such as hanging pictures or setting up my home theater equipment.

The problem with this is that I am at the mercy of these men, who often do not what they are doing either.

Don't get me wrong, I really do appreciate the help they give me, and they do try really hard, but sometimes the mess they make is worse than the original problem. Lucky for me, I am really good at fixing and cleaning up messes made by men.

So this weekend when a friend came over and spent all day trying to fix my TiVo to no avail, I thanked him kindly with a nice dinner said goodnight and set in on the mess left in my living room.

After about ten minutes of picking up manuals and setting AV equipment back in place, and connecting a wire or two that seemed to have been forgotten, I had my TiVo up and working just great!
