...a sink faucet at my house.

I should feel inadequate, because he lives nearly 300 miles south of here, but he's retired and bored and I had to work a lot of hours this week and never got the broken faucet fixed. Lisa was telling him about it on the phone and explained how the gaskets were grimed shut and there wasn't enough room behind the sink basin to get regular-sized tools in, and he said he'd come up and fix it. Brought a hundred dollar faucet set with him that he said his wife (Lisa's stepmother) didn't like in their new house.

So, it was all fixed by the time I got home from work at noontime today.

I know he just wanted an excuse to visit and spend the night while feeling practical instead of sentimental, but there's something very Constanza-deflating about being out-plumbed by a 67-year old retired math teacher.

I may be dumb, and can't figure out how I missed 179 of your posts, but who are you?

But if your dad wanted to, more power to him. He loves you.

I'm the "Of Truth" dude.

You may remember me as frostingspoon's jock warmer.

Welcome, O Plush Duck of Truth.

Help yourself to some calamari rolls and oolong tea.

You're too kind. Calamari Oolong is my porn name. How'd you know?

Wow, we can change screen names at will?

Irritating as hell, ain't it?

You should be ashamed of yourself; turn in your man card....

I got a man card? Sweet. Gotta use that.

Ha. Actually im surprised you even brought this up;

My top two dissapointing things i realize as i get older (but that make me feel pretty damn good about myself) are:

1. Men that dont know how to fix things

2. Women that can't cook.

I can do both on a professional level thanks to my parents and my own intuition and work experience;

"Its called survival. Only the strong can survive. Its called survival. In order to stay alive. Its called survival Survival SURVIVAL!!!" --G.M.F.A.T.F.F. YAYUH!

I can cook. But I don't have a Woman Card, though.

Can fix stuff, too. Just don't want to most of the time. I firmly believe stuff shouldn't break in the first place and it owes me an apology and needs to get right back to not being broken.
