How many cockroaches to screw in a lightbulb? 2, the real question is how did they get in the lightbulb in the 1st place!!

[babybear39]

I don't 'do' lightbulbs, I have a man that 'does' them for me

[angry cat]

I don't 'do' lightbulbs, I have a man that 'does' them for me

 

Not a 'Feminist' then.

[babybear39]

Not a 'Feminist' then.

 

Never.

 

I did, however, do them myself, but that was before Pickfords 'kept' my stepladder and I became severely disabled.

In my experience, one can ask a man to do a little job around the house e.g. change a light bulb.

However, the time it takes them to decide just how they are going to carry out the simply task...

It's quicker to to do it oneself!

[babybear39]

Me and climbing on things do not mix, not anymore...

[Bookworm]

From what I hear about CAGmeets, they didn't mix even before your medical bothers.

[angry cat]

No, I know:(

 

Just illustrating just how problematic is is to get the male species to do odd jobs...

 

they stand their, hands on hips, scartching their heads;

go to the holy grail tool box and take out all sorts of tools: measuring tapes, set square, scredrivers etc, which all takes so longgggg.

 

Impossible for them to just get up on a chair and pop the new light bulb in!?

 

And this applies to nearly every little job around the house???

[babybear39]

In my house the 'holy grail' is all mine
