10 Step Guide to Being Handy Around the House
- If you can’t find a screwdriver, use a knife. If you break off the tip, it’s an improved screwdriver.
- Try to work alone. An audience is rarely any help.
- Despite what you may have been told by your mother, praying and cursing are both helpful in home repair… but only if you are working alone.
- Work in the kitchen whenever you can… many fine tools are there, its warm and dry, and you are close to the refrigerator.
- If it’s electronic, get a new one.
- Keep it simple: Get a new battery; replace the bulb or fuse; see if the tank is empty; try turning it to the “on” switch; or just paint over it.
- Always take credit for miracles. If you dropped the alarm clock while taking it apart and it suddenly starts working, you have fixed it.
- Regardless of what people say, kicking, pounding, and throwing sometimes DOES help.
- If something looks level, it is level.
- Above all, if what you’ve done is stupid, but it works, then it isn’t stupid.
That’s my story and I’m sticking too it! Have a GREAT THURSDAY! people, stay safe, and
whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

Wednesdays’ Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this quote from??? “
“Tell me I’m a good man.”
“You ARE.”
Answer: Saving Private Ryan!
In the events leading up to this scene, Captain John Miller (Tom Hanks) and a squad of soldiers in World War II are sent to try and locate Private James Ryan (Matt Damon) after a clerk notices his three brothers have recently been killed. However, Ryan does not want to abandon his fellow soldiers when he is told by Captain Miller that he is going home. As he says when informed of the deaths of his brothers, “You can tell her [his mother] that when you found me, I was with the only brothers I had left. And that there was no way I was deserting them. I think she’d understand that.” In this scene, an old James Ryan is looking at Captain Miller’s gravestone in the American Cemetery in Normandy and remembering his dying words, “James, earn this… earn it.” He turns to his wife and says line one. She replies back with line two. In the 1999 Academy Awards “Saving Private Ryan” won five Oscars and was nominated for six more, including Best Picture (but lost to “Shakespeare in Love”). This movie was based on the true story of the Niland brothers.

Thursday’s Quizzler is…….
I’m called by three letters
Though I have a long name.
I’m in all of you,
But I’m never the same.
I’m all coiled up
So that I am quite small,
But if you stretch me out
I’ll be really tall.
I could be the root
Of certain disease;
If man can unlock me
He’ll solve many mysteries.
What am I?
