MEN--I DO NOT understand them!!!

Why is it, that men think women are just men with more attractive packaging??? I ask this because I followed the advice of a man [Dennis] to the tee and just about cut my arm off! WHAT was he thinking?? [a doctors visit might very well be in my NEAR future.] He tells me, when you finish mowing, tip the mower up and spray the 'underbelly' with the hose. Ok, easy enough. What he did NOT tell me was that the mower blade would be VERY sharp and it I got ANYWHERE near it with my arm, I'd be sorry. Well, I'm SORRY! Yes, I'd waited for the mower to cool, yes, I'd disconnected the spark plug, but I just HAD to wipe what the hose didn't get. I'm a WOMAN, he should have KNOWN I'd do that! As the blade cut sharply into my arm I realized that a man would have instinctively known not to do that. Well, excuse me for NOT being a man!! It gets better!!! Yes, it does! As I'm doctoring my wound I spill the iodine on-- yep, the laundry room door. No, it will NOT clean off. The door will have to be painted! Damn, and double damn! This day should have ended SEVERAL hours ago!
Today, I'm not into, 'Let it be!' [as Breezy found out, Sorry sis!]
All that said, I'm STILL riding 'high' on the granddaughters visit of yesterday. THAT was fun!

LOL!! Mom, your posts are great! It is as if you have been saving up these posts for the last five years. Keep them coming!

Sorry about your arm and the floor. That sucks. : ( Hope you recover nicely.
