Now that....... IS TRUTH.
I have had people tell me "You can't possibly know everything you claim to know"
To which I reply.. True. but I know GOOGLE.

To know nothing is a great thing! You can't be blamed for anything!
In todays world, you will be blamed for thinking otherwise.

Definition of an expert ... someone who knows just a little bit more about the subject than you do.

There?s a butt load of experts out there.
I know enough that I can do most repairs on my vehicle, RV, and home without having to hire an expensive handyman.
A couple of months ago, I had a leak on a water T-fitting. A quick run to the hardware store for a couple of Pex shark fittings and 20 minutes of time that included a beer, got the job done. My neighbor in my campground just paid $220 for a similar repair caused by freeze damage to his motorhome. I just can't afford to know less than the repairman based on his minimum $90 charge to just look at a problem. At the same time, another neighbor paid about the same amount of money to replace a bad sail switch on his new motorhome; at least he will be reimbursed under warranty.
Do I know it all? Nope, nobody does but I know enough to have the satisfaction of fixing most stuff by myself. Wish I new how to weld, do autobody work to include spray paint but am saving to learn those skills when I retire.

Wait until your body says, "No!" Eventually, it will take you all day to do what you used to do all day (or night). There are few things I haven't tackled myself over the years, but now...eyes that need high intensity light and still have trouble because the bifocals are never where they need to be...shoulders and/or knees that argue with you...hands and fingers that have lost their sensitivity. I have reached the point where I either pay someone or it just doesn't get done and it is a terrible feeling to realize you just can't do it anymore.wmtired said:

Molaker, I hear you loud and clear. My ol bod just won't cooperate any more, I get down and dirty but can't get up. Even changing a tire is a life threatening endeavour.

Your doing better than me if you can get down. I had knee replacement last August and still have not recovered. My good knee is now worse than the replaced one. These golden years really suck. Now that I finally have the funds to do the things I always wanted to do, my body will not let me do those things.

If you turn on the news and see a slow speed police chase involving a silver Nissan Quest heading out of Philadelphia on I-95 heading toward Delaware, you will know she turned me in. :'(

I worked with a guy like that back when I was a nurses aide. He was awful, knew everything but did nothing right. The rest of us started a pool to see who could get rid of him. I won. Long story short, it involved a dead patient that kept moving and me acting like it never happened. He left suddenly and refused to come back. They had to mail him his last paycheck. I used the $25 I won treating my other coworkers to tequila Tuesday. ;D
