Hey, reminds me of the time my whole family tried to put a shelf in the refrigerator and couldn't get it hooked properly. I stood around, quietly, until they all got frustrated and left. One relative said they'd be back next week to try again. After they left, I had it all done in a minute, no problem when you just feel your way to the hooks instead of trying to "see" everything, when those hooks were behind a flange which blocked their view, in the first place. :) I would never say "told you I could do it," I just let the results speak for me. :)

It reminds me of a fellow that was putting up a screen door, The thing was so out of square it was humorist. Especially went I offered to help, and he said in a nice way that he didn't believe I would be of any help. After he made a mess out of the door, his wife joking ask if I could do better? He left and I got out my carpenter square and went to work and had the door squared away before he got back. I still believe to this day he hasn't forgiving me for it.

I was not there but she did say some thing about that I am the one that does most of the work on the car when it needs repair. And I think the guy just shrugged it off. If I ever see the guy I think I will have to give him an education. Any clever ideas as how to handle this clown? I really don't intend to cause a seen or any thing but I would like to set him straight. My sister in law did find me a tire gage and I really like it.

There is a newsletter that comes out once a week. The guy talks about cars and gives some tips and shares some opinions. A few weeks back he ran an article about the most useless tools. One of the things he listed was a talking tire pressure gauge. There was a rather nasty reply posted in the comments area talking about how would a blind person be able to check a tire anyway. So I posted a comment as well. I talked about working for a number of years and left them with the thought they should worry about more important issues like why the ATM is in Braille but it's on the driver side of the car... The list owner actually wrote to me off line. If an evening would work for your show I'd be happy to talk with you. But I work steady each day so the 3:20 time would cause a problem.... ----- Original Message ----- From: Don To: [email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> Sent: Sunday, November 18, 2007 10:26 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Show guest.
