I wish I could still do some heavy work and repair some windows around here! :-) But I am still considered an energetic woman by younger neighbors and can hire a carpenter and painter- if they would just show up!// I could never be a man and am happy I am not but I do recall wanting an office I could dash to when I was swamped with some legal and financial affairs and tending/chasing two toddlers around the house.//Anyway, it rocks either way for advantages- there are gold- diggers and fortune hunters plus love is equated with war in the opinion of many writers- very primal, unpredictable stuff.
