Cuppa Fog Blog: Those Who Can't DIY (Anything)
http://blog.cuppafog.com/2012/09/those-who-cant-diy-anything.html
Wednesday, September 26, 2012. Those Who Can't DIY (Anything). Yes, I'm back from the grave! Actually, things IRL have just been keeping me so exceptionally busy that I haven't had a chance to update here. But now I'm back, and it's a gripe that's really gotten so under my skin I had to vent and see if I'm alone in this. Img from Popular Mechanics, 1949. But is this a gender-based issue? A woman who plays the helpless female card so men can do these things for her? Is a hammer that difficult to use?

This is my grandfather through my eyes. This is a list of things that I associate with Grandpa Nat. CARS I think of my grandfather every time I think about cars. He subscribed to automotive magaz...

I'm not a plastic blog: July 2009
http://imnotaplasticblog.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
I'm not a plastic blog. Sunday, July 26, 2009. I spent my Saturday afternoon fixing a box clock that I found on the street over a year ago (that's a picture from when I found it). The pendulum was stuck and I figured I'd just take it apart, check out what was wrong and see if I could fix it and boom, I'd have wind up clock that chimed. I expose the gears and start inspection. When I was a kid, I'd take apart clocks and music boxes. I unscrewed the clock from the box but the pendulum was stuck somewhere i...

I'm not a plastic blog: I hate parental tech support
http://imnotaplasticblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/i-hate-parental-tech-support.html
I'm not a plastic blog. Thursday, June 23, 2011. I hate parental tech support. I want to shoot myself when my mom calls me up asking for help on her PC. There's nothing worse than her verbally walking through clicking on the toolbar and not finding what I'm asking her to look for. Last week I'm on a conference call using join.me. Haven't tried it yet but I think it's going to make those phone calls less painful. Totally free, too. Https:/ secure.join.me/. Posted by Viviane Valvezan. Follow me on Twitter.

I'm not a plastic blog. Saturday, May 15, 2010. How I survived 7 months of unemployment without going into debt. A lot of people, upon hearing that I was unemployed for seven months, are visibly frightened to hear how long I was out of work. They ask how I survived, assuming I lived off credit cards and, when I tell them that I am not in debt because I had an emergency fund, they are surprised. About 50% of Americans have less than one month's expenses saved for an emergency. So, how much should you have?

I'm not a plastic blog. Monday, August 17, 2009. A kite lost and found. A few minutes prior, I was feeling kind of emotional. The sun had set, there was a cool breeze, the sound of leaves shaking on the trees, clouds turning from white to pink in the sky. it was that time of day when you have just enough light left to know that soon it will be dark and the moment felt both beautiful and sad. And right into this moment comes a lost kite merrily dancing in the breeze. I had to go get it. :-). Although I wa...
