Probably like most here, I'm not dependent on others for most stuff I need to get done.

But, just because I've learned something and done it (at least well enough to get by), doesn't mean at 45 years old it's worth my time or aggravation to keep doing it.

I am NOT painting my own house exterior. Ever. Again. I have no desire to be 35 feet up on scaffold.

I also leave carpet to the professionals. Same, concrete.

Sometimes doing it myself and learning it is part of the challenge and makes a project fun. Other times, I just want it friggin' done, like, YESTERDAY, and I will pay to make the problem go away pronto.

(I do want to learn to weld though. I've never done it because I've just never had a need, but looks like fun.)


The DIPCHIT ADD, after a morning of drinking:

You despair, repeatedly, constantly! daily basis?
A despair ninny.
Sack up, despire ninny.
