Men and their LOGIC!

Y'all aren't going to believe what Neil just came up with.

Sometimes he is so funny, if he isn't duct taping the

toilet he's fixing something else, bless his heart.

This is the conversation we just had.

Neil, " do you think our living room rug will fit in the

new house?" Jan, " I don't know, we'll have to wait and

see". Neil, " I think it will fit except where the

fireplace is and we can just fold it under".

Jan, "Neil, think about what you just said".

Neil, " I know what I said, we can fold the rug under

where it meets the fireplace". Jan, "sure we can and what

pray tell do we do to hide the big lump where you fold the

rug under?" " I know, don't tell me, we're going to

tape it down with duct tape."

Neil left the room.

Ah, you guys always stick together.
Next thing I know Michael will be wanting me
to measure the room and the rug so he can caculate how
much duct tape Neil will need to do the job. :0)

DD was over the other day, and helped me hang the translucent shower curtain back onto the rings. One hole tore in the curtain and I said, oh wait, I can fix that. No, not with duct tape, but with an even better invention: see link.

DD sees the roll and says, "Ah, the girls' version of duct tape." Yep, it sure is.

Here is a link that might be useful: Not duct tape.

Hey..do they make clear duct tape? Now there's an invention that would make millions. Digby has taken to chewing the rattan wrapping off the leg of one chair. I keep a sock on it until he gets a little older and discovers the better wooden things to chew. Wouldn't clear duct tape be wonderful to wrap around things in order to puppy proof them? Right Jan?

You know what, Meldy you've brought up something
that I had forgotten about.

Men aren't the only ones that use tape for those
handy dandy repairs. We women have been doing it for years.
In fact, the guys probably got it from us.

I've scotch taped many a pants and dress hem up over the
years, I even taped the hem in Katrina's little dress
she wore to our wedding. I too have taped up shower
curtain tears and I usually tape an envelope because I refuse to lick that awful glue.

While tape plays a major part in women's lives we have
another handy little gadget that most men wouldn't touch.
Our hot glue guns. Those aren't macho enough for a guy.

Marda, I've got all kinds of chewy things for Sassi
to chew on, she much prefers our hands, Neil's nose,
chairs, preferably the cording on an upholstered chair.
Her very favorite thing is her poop which I swoop down on
as soon as it exits and rush it to the bathroom with Sassi
hot on my heels with one of those, that's mine give it back
look on her face.

All the wicker and rattan is out on the porch or she would
be like Digby, ripping off pieces and chewing it to bits.
I'll buy a good supply of that clear duct tape and let Neil
tape up every thing in sight when we move. The furniture
will be in the sun room and on the screened porch. She'll
have access to it there.
