My wife has had a lot of health issues over the last twelve months because of her Multiple Sclerosis. She’s not able to do a lot of the things she used to enjoy because it’s affecting her eyesight and her hands. So when she told me she wanted to make a DIY hanging lamp to hang over the crib we keep for our granddaughter, I admit, I immediately thought the worst. I envisioned having to rush her to the hospital after she accidentally sawed off a finger or worse. So to keep my sanity, I insisted on doing it for her. Granted, I imagined it’d take an hour of my time and the use of some of my power tools. Boy, was I wrong.

I work two jobs and I never seem to have time for breakfast. Connie often fills the freezer with breakfast sandwiches I can heat and eat, but her schedule is so busy that sometimes the freezer is empty. In the past I’d just drive through the nearest fast food restaurant, but that’s gotten to be too expensive, so I’ve started trying breakfast bars or shakes.

I’ve been a firefighter for over 30 years. It’s a repetitive job and it’s wet. Combine the two and you’ll get chaffing and there’s no time for pain when you’re on the job. Most of the guys use anti-friction powders, wicking underwear, and more to try to keep them comfortable. I think we’re all always on the search for the next thing that will provide some relief.

When my wife told me I would be getting a paint sprayer from Wagner to try out, she was disappointed when I wasn’t excited. I’m in the middle of painting our house and she thought it’d make it easier. What she didn’t know is that we already own a paint sprayer and I chose not to use it because it splats paint out which requires me shutting down the sprayer, cleaning the nozzle, and brushing out the paint mess it created.
