    The little things that suck about being single...

    Generally speaking, I am perfectly content being single. My life is pretty damn stellar and I have no complaints.

    However, there are moments when I just blink... like a deer caught in headlights... and think, "OK, this is why I need a significant other." Not literally. But I just had one of those moments. A friend just wrote me:

    "... It's a common issue for the carburetors to need to be cleaned. It also takes about twenty minutes and anybody with an adjustable wrench, a can of cleaner, and a paper clip can do it. Gasoline begins to crystallize after it sits for a couple weeks. Easy Peasy..."

    Easy Peasy my *kitten*! Now, could I learn how to do this? Sure... I'm a smart woman. But I don't want to. I'm girly, and LIKE being girly. In my spare time, I want to sew my own panties, make butterflies out of toilet paper tubes and ziploc baggies, or modge podge something. I don't want to fix my snowblower.

    The good news is, I offered him a sammich and a beer... snowblower fixed.




    I guess I'm still good being sans mechanically inclined significant other for today :)

      Please... I can pay someone to clean that carburetor.

      Its the endless hours of mind blowing sex with someone you really care about, who cares about you.... that's what I hate about being single.....

      I'd rather pay someone to do it.

      I also have a large number of batteries.

      Pfft, I don't need to be in a relationship.

      Maybe the take-away from this is that I'm cheap? :blushing:

      "batteries" is a euphemism for when I visit

      I loved single.
      I love marriage.

      Just depends on where your mind is at.

      The one thing I miss is cuddling.
      I love being cuddled up, tight in someones arms, it is a great way to spend an evening.
      It makes even the worst days better.

      Other than that, I love being single.

      I'm with ya, on anything related to the house that needs fixing. It's not that I *can't* handle it, it's that I don't want to deal with it.

      Perfect example: a few weeks ago my furnace was making a strange noise, and it was LOUD. I panic, and convince myself that it's going to blow up. So I go to look at it, and I sit and stare, because I'm not even sure where to start to look for the cause of the problem. I know how to change the furnace filter, and check to make sure the pilot light is lit and that's about it. So I had to call the HVAC repair guy, sit around and wait for him to show up, trust that what he's telling me is true, pay him to fix it and then *fingers crossed* hope it solves the problem. It's just a headache.

      Not to mention the frustration I encountered when the loud noise happened again two days later....ahem.

      It's just nice to have a guy around to deal with that kind of crap.

      My mind is simply on my broke *kitten* snowblower *sigh* clearly... My ex was somewhat handy, I'll give him that.

      Or make your own Mrs. Grasses Chicken Noodle Soup... Adding your own Golden Egg & *kitten* is torture.

      Energizer rechargeables are well worth the initial extra expense.... :flowerforyou:

      I rent so I don't have to worry about household crap, I have a landlord for that - however I do hate taking the trash out

      Car issues, family & friends

      I have buzz for multiple O's

      I enjoy looking ugly in my sweats, hair pulled back, no make up and farting as I please


      Sometimes I miss making out :grumble:

      Then again, they are an 'Ex' for a reason, so find a friend to fix it...without all the BS and baggage. :)

      I did :) For the low price of a sammich and a beer. I didn't even have to involve 2 of my favorite 2000 parts for this one.
