Are you done stocking up?

I thinks it's more of a doesn't want to bother than ability. I can't complain tho he can fix and make about anything So making a cup of tea compared to fixing the hot water tank, I'll take it!

My youngest (she's 24 now) was about 13 years old and one day I saw her in the kitchen with my daughter-in-law. My daughter-in-law was "teaching" her how to make a tuna fish sandwich. (She knew how to make a tuna sandwich, but she was lazy so she decided to ask my DIL to "teach" her how that way she did not need to make it herself).

What's funny is I was on my own for 16 yrs and I learned to be pretty handy myself, but according to hubby my skills are lacking, so I just stand back and let him do it and ask how do you want your tea? LOL
Also how to impress a handyman, have your own Eastwing hammer LOL He was so impressed that I had one, but I only bought it because the hammer part would not fly off the handle LOL Hysterical!

Did you inform DIL that she knew how?

One of the reasons I don't date is because I get excited on a first date and tell the guy about my power tool collection. He never calls me back.

I buy all my vape gear with PayPal. Not just from companies like ft but from companies with the word vape in their name

I used to do that but recently have changed my mind. My order at Smokly where they didn't have the item and they haven't refunded my money...I have a dispute with PP but that takes 10 days. If I had just put it on my cc, would already have the chargeback and all taken care of.

I have a screwdriver, does that count?

Smokly already refunded my money back to my credit card no dispute involved.

A little tiny blue one?

Did you pay with PP?

Right. I guess I just don't like putting my cc details out there all over the web. I was ripped off about 3.5k through credit card fraud a few years ago. I know it's probably safe 99 percent of the time but once bitten, twice shy

Didn't they give you the money back? I have had fraud and the cc companies took care of it so I wasn't charged.

 

[BigPappa]

Did you inform DIL that she knew how?

Yes. lol There she was, all warm and fuzzy inside, thinking she was having a bonding moment with her sister-in-law only to find out she was being played. lmao (She laughed her .... off, it still comes up in conversation from time to time).

 

[rosesense]

nope

As I said, not using PP again if I can help it.

They did eventually but it scared me.

I think you are safer with cc than PP, based on my experience over the years. I once lost a ton of money on a fraudulent ebay transaction paid through PP. They only refunded partial payment at the time. I think they have changed their policy since then but like you said once bitten....

The hubby and I figured out we have to each have our own tool sets. I have TINY hands. He has hands a basketball player would be proud of. Like we don't hold hands. I hold his thumb and he wraps his fingers around my entire hand. A hammer that works for him I'd hurt myself with. Besides if we shared tools I would never be able to find my mini vise grips. I need those for atty tops and stuck soda bottle caps!

To give a perspective I can't close my hand around the Pulse X BF

 

[fiddleshe]

Visa and Mastercard both have a fraud guarantee so I feel completely safe. My mother who is 71 doesn't. I think there's something to be said about older people not trusting the internet and money. I don't know what it is but Ive seen it multiple times in older folks.

Jackaroo at Vaporl for $21.15 before shipping (I got one in orange)

You've got me thinking now. I might do a bit more research into the better method. For me it's also partially force of habit
