some of the stuff I can't do anymore- change oil...that needs to be done by a tech so I don't break warranty....fix a dead outlet. I can't do that because the property manager needs to....

I guess if you can't do some of this stuff, be man enough to pay others to do it for you.smile

Let's see . . .

#3: I can't swim

#12: I've never done it but I think I could remember how if I had to.

#13: I don't have any desire to gut a fish.

Let's see, my husband can't do 2, 5, 6, 12, 16, 20, 22, and 25.

I can't do 4, 22, or 25 (yet, I don't have a wireless network). Hm, maybe I do wear the pants...

I actually had to do 3 once. This old guy fell out of his fishing boat and it was circling him. We took my dads boat out, stopped the guys boat (cost us a bit of a dent) and got the guy back into his boat and made sure he got back to shore safely...

COming from a family of predominantly women, i was raised to do a lot of that stuff for myself...or at least know how to get things done without getting ripped off. But there's a few that seem unnecessary...

Hey, where's 25 things every WOMAN should know?
