Touch that power saw or radial arm saw, you might lose a finger. What I would have given for a weed eater back then.<br /><br />TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7788986396272532118.post-63775905061644359422012-05-01T07:50:26.381-07:002012-05-01T07:50:26.381-07:00J:

And believe me, every one of us would have glady given up the tool to ANYONE, if it meant we could get out of the WORK. ;) Besides, since you were the "princess" and most of us were out of the house when you were old enough to attempt WORK, I rather doubt there was much hogging of the tools going on to prevent you from joining in. More likely it was simply that the TOOLS were used outside, and you spent most of your time indoors doing the houseWORK. That, and there was a definite pecking order in the family that determined who used the power tools, and who did the manual labor. LOL!!!! Did we even own a power weed eater back then?<br /><br />SAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7788986396272532118.post-48747572571172225162012-04-27T13:49:18.533-07:002012-04-27T13:49:18.533-07:00You're so funny... you totally strike me as th...You're so funny... you totally strike me as the type to have played with and enjoyed power tools long before now, but I suppose you're right and having had 7 brothers they may have hogged them. <br /><br /> Have you tried a cordless drill yet? (not just a screwdriver, but an actual drill?) How about a skill saw? Or - my favorite - a reciprocating saw (Sawzall type) - those are AWESOME! =) Once you start using those, lawnmowers and weed eaters will be boring and feel a little too much like actual work! ha ha. <br /><br />annAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
