Okay........ I just got home a little while ago. This morning, shortly after dawn, I get a phone call that wakes me up."Daddy the battery on my car is dead, can you come over?"Her 5 year old battery as been cranking slow for A MONTH NOW EVER SINCE THE WEATHER TURNED COLD and today it finally gave up.Okay.... it is 12 degrees (-11C) outside plus the wind chill atop that. They do not have a garage so I am standing in the snow removing the battery from its compartment in the cowling.Is it kids or women?

That, sir, is your appointed duty and a property of your genetic heritage consisting of at least some portion of a y chromosome.

What's your point? It could has easily have been a mysterious failure to start and run just because coincidentally the fuel guage needle happened to have been below zero for the past week. You see, that is

*her* genetic heritage--a lack of being able to put mechanical cause and effect in the correct order.

Both. But at least you get oddball ties on Fathers Day...

Oh, and sometimes you get grandchildren and revenge is ooohhhh so sweet. Plus you can spoil the grandkids as they grow enough to need parental mechanical help.

And would that necessarily be a disqualification?

I don't have any grandkids but I do have a grand-pup named Zoë.

I did see it, anyone in a cop uniform and aviator sunglasses looks like a man.

All I know is Mr. H and a guy at the boatyard were hoping their batteries would heal last month. One did, one didn't!

Ohhhhhhhhh you LIKE it! LOL

You're right. But I suppose if a gal is going to do a tough job, she has to look tough.

Hey Bill :¬)

Being the not-so-liberated woman that I am... (other than the bra burning thing) I think that you are right! Scarey when a woman agrees with ya, isn't it?! If a woman is going to go into a job, such as firefighter, she should be able to meet the same requirements that the men do.

Around my house we have an agreement. I spoil my husband rotten and he lifts heavy s*it.
