[QUOTE="donna723, post: 182622, member: 1883"] Steely, I sympathize. I haven't seen many of those "magazine ad" families waltzing and smiling their way through the store aisles lately either! But that's one of the little known downsides to being on your own! How [U]do[/U] you do these things on your own? Lucky for me, the pet shop guy carries the 30-pound dog food bags to the car for me, bless his little heart! It's not that I physically can't, but I sometimes have to park a block away! It's just [I]nice[/I] that he does it for me! But I know exactly what you mean! Example: I have to pay a guy to mow my lawn. Why? I have a lawn mower, but it doesn't work. There is a repair shop in town, but how do I get the stupid lawn mower there? I don't drive a truck, and even if I did, how do you get a lawn mower into the back of a pickup truck? It would fit in the trunk of my car but the *%&#$ lawn mower is too heavy for me to lift on my own. People who have someone around to do these things for them or to help them out have no idea how very difficult it can be. I'm the one who can only wash her living room curtains when the extremely tall son comes to visit ... he's the only one with arms long enough to re-hang them! [/QUOTE]
