Esther! Where are the tools?!!I am also thankful that my husband can fix most things, But with the fixing of most things also entails the objects to fix those things, which create lots of "stuff" in the basement which makes it messy, or in the shed, objects that will go years without using them. I am also good at fixing stuff, have fixed the toilet, changed faucets, put new lighting in the outdoors, changed sockets and so forth. My beef is, once I changed the lights on the deck to a different looking one, ol husband never noticed the change, 6 months goes by and still no comment.
anyway, as far as snooty or condescending folks the later cannot recall when that happened. But I think, knowing me, if it did, they'd be right chastised for their remark. As far as snooty women, I guess I just ignore those folks, if I have to associate with them for a moment in time, I would talk past them, as I figure their mental status is such that they have to conduct themselves due to insecurities, poor women.
Tools, in the basement, shed, or one of the garages. not just tools. but large things to cut stuff like wood. and chain saws (that we need) and a drill press (think that is what its called) a big thing. and lots of boxes of nails, and screws, and nuts and bolts and stuff like that. oh, and stuff for gutters on the house. And extra pieces of left over lumber from building stuff, and ply wood from past and future projects, and glue guns and glue. oh yes a nail gun, cork guns, and cork, you get the picture. and tarp, drop clothes, I am sure I forgot something. and then there are all the garden equipment and those tools. But then he will leave some garden tools out there, have to go hunting for them, instead of putting them back where they belong/or was found. Oh, yeah, a circular saw he has, and a jig saw, 2 or 3 drills, and lots of drill bits. now, my mind is tired .Esther! Where are the tools?!!
We have a long driveway, and get lots of deliveries as husband's company is run out of our home. 1/2 way up the drive, sitting on the side, and fairly large is a plastic bin with a sign on top, reads: for pick up and deliveries. you just have to open the door of it, and put the box inside, and close the door, nice and secure and out of the rain etc. and its 1/2 way up the 100 pace drive. But, no, some decide that resting it against the front door, of which we never use, is a good idea. As it is now dark when we come home, we can't see at the front door if there is a box. So then, husband will say---" I am expecting a certain delivery, he checks the box, nothing there. then one of us thinks about the front door and its there, it could have been there for a couple days we would never notice it there.Here's something which really does annoy me. We have huge numbers front and rear attached to our bungalow plus big numbers on the top glass panel above our front door; it's amazing how many blind people deliver to our door; once again a few minutes ago another envelope pushed through our letterbox but not for us; I've pushed it through the correct letterbox.
I like this fellow! Seems to be looking forward rather than behind him where he left his tools. I can relate to that.Tools, in the basement, shed, or one of the garages. not just tools. but large things to cut stuff like wood. and chain saws (that we need) and a drill press (think that is what its called) a big thing. and lots of boxes of nails, and screws, and nuts and bolts and stuff like that. oh, and stuff for gutters on the house.

You and @Colin have similiar delivery persons!We have a long driveway, and get lots of deliveries as husband's company is run out of our home. 1/2 way up the drive, sitting on the side, and fairly large is a plastic bin with a sign on top, reads: for pick up and deliveries. you just have to open the door of it, and put the box inside, and close the door, nice and secure and out of the rain etc. and its 1/2 way up the 100 pace drive.
