    Whatever needs to be done.  If I don't know something, I'll learn it.

    I haven't been too good at doing repairs,  guess I should learn how to use duct tape.

    Don't need experience if you got duct tape.

  • One night I forgot to charge my phone and it got down to like 4% battery charge. 

    So from then on I made sure I plugged it in before bed.  Fixed that problem!

    One time I bought a pair of Calvins in black and didn't look good in them.
    So I switched back to white which offsets my tan.  Problem fixed!

    One summer I really needed my lawn mowed.  I wasn't in the mood to do it.
    So I hired a cute lawn boy who takes his shirt off to do it for me.  Fixed things again.

    I guess I'm better at fixing things than I thought.
    And to think...

    "Goat's" always telling me I'm for ornamental purposes only.  Hmmpf!

    I have fixed washers, dryers, freezers, and an oven. I used to work on cars. Electronics I learned in the Navy. Not any more. All of the new stuff is too complex. According to my stepdaughter, who manages a Sears outlet store, appliances are purposely made to only last about 5 years. That's why they sell those expensive warranties.

    Thanks...but not really. On a sailors salary, you have to do that. My motto was: If I can't fix it, it can't be fixed. Hell, I even replaced pistons, rods and crankshaft on my motorcycle.

    An old 2-cylinder Honda. A crappy bike, but easy to fix. It's all I could afford with my crappy salary.

    Good for you er... uh... May call you Bubba?  It is kind of a red-neck thing after all, isn't it?  I fix most things at home myself.  I did 90% of my own roof.  That saved me about $5,000!

    I once fixed my vacuum with the help of a youtube video. 

    That's about it.

    Apologizing. I'm good at it.  And I am not bragging. I just had a lot of practice.   This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at August 25, 2019 8:15 AM MDT

    Do you cry when you apologize and say you are sorry so the person/people know you are sincere?

    I always say what is in my heart when I do it.  That is key. So if tears come to the fore, then so be it.  Not always.   But sometimes  I have been that sorry.

    Okay. When people say they are sorry they should always cry to show they are sincere.
