Well, I also had a plumbing problem. The kitchen sink stopped up, so I decided that I would fix it myself. I figured most clogs are in that pee trap so I got under there with my tools and disassembled it. Water poured out all over me and under the cabinet. No clog. This is where the problem began. You see, although I was really good at the disassembling thing, when it came time to put it back together, not so good. I tried and tried for over an hour before I gave up in frustration and called the plumber. He came over and I told him about the sink being stopped up, but when he saw the plumbing all disassembled and I had to explain what had happened, he had to hold onto the cabinet to keep from falling down he was laughing so hard. Needless to say, the next time I needed a plumber I called someone else! But, if anyone needs something disassembled, I'm your girl!

I seem to remember my mom telling me when i was a kid only to water hers like twice a year. I'm sure i promptly killed it afterward. I haven't met a plant yet that I can't kill. If they sent me down South, I could have the scourge of Kudzu cleared up in about a week, two tops. All i'd have to do is feed and water it, and it would whither on the vine, like every thing else I've tried to grow.

Have a "stbx, cheater, foul, skank, incestuous adulteress"...could you "disassemble" her for me please. Not worried about the "putting back together".
I'll call the plumber when you're done.

You know, this is actually how I got into my relationship with my BF. He had been a friend at church. When Ex moved out, there was so much to be done and he offered to help with the "guy stuff", which included pick-up truck stuff when I needed furniture brought in. He was here pretty often fixing things, painting, moving!...he'd stay for a good homecooked meal, play with the kids, etc....
Bam, now we're doing it all together. He's actually coming over in a little while. He hates to just SIT when he comes so we usually have some sort of project, of which there is NO shortage. Today I think we'll be putting together a storage unit cube thingy for my daughter.
Oh, and I have a 15 yo son for many projects Including the lawn). Yes, I am a lucky girl...it's a good thing I am a good cook. And I can fix broken zippers on workpants, sew on broken buttons, type up whatever. We do make a good team.

Do you know, I just now finally figured out what stbx was! I have been puzzling over that for a couple of weeks! I have a stbx too. Unfortunately, we're not allowed to disassemble those, but when they are skanks they tend to self-destruct.

I found out a couple of weeks ago how noodles can clog a drain. Both sides of the sink. Liqued plumber at 10:00 pm. Bottle said half and wait 20 minutes so 10 minutes into it I decided more was better. 30 minutes later and no more liqued plumber it was time for a new attack. both sides of the sink full of water I decided to turn on the desposal against the liqued plumber instructions. Blew the pipes apart and water every were now. got out the shop vac and vacumed the water up. 11:30 pm and I'm taking the drains apart. Noodles were packed in every pipe I could find. Not a problem I just used the shop vac to clean them out. Except I sucked on of the washers in the vac. Now it's close to 12:00 and I'm trying to get it all back together without the washer that was sucked up.

That's it...I'm having a heart attack from laughter.

These stories should be in a book. It would have to be covered in plastic, because I and many other readers would "pee" every time we read it!!!
Thank you. How hilarious this thread has been from inception!!!!!

Of course, I guess I am also weedwacker challenged too. Happily I was wearing my tennis shoes (it was really hot, around 105, so I wanted to wear my flip flops but at the last minute I decided it would be safer to wear my tennis shoes). And you know what, when the neighbor's dog all of a sudden runs across the yard at you and you jump and the string hits your shoe, it rips a nice big hole in them! Believe me, I realized right away that if I had my flip flops on my toe would have been on the ground! That was a lucky day! I also broke my sun shades with the weedwacker, but I guess that's what kept the rock out of my eye.
