I don't see that I "blamed" anyone or any business for anything, Lived There Once. I said I was frustrated. And, yes, I goofed!

Re: Jack and SenathDavid. Preplanning applies same as in doing the job, measure twice, (or even thrice) and cut once. When it comes to expending monies and energy, I will often spend as much time, if not more so, in laying out and recording the work details and listing required materials, than that required for doing the actual work.

Picky, perhaps so, but just amazes and irks me that some people never have the time to do it correctly the first time, but always have said time to do it over again, again and again.

Wow, someone didn't take their happy pill - "Lived There Once".

As fas as what is appropriate for discussion in a public forum- don't think that's your call there Sparky.

Regardless of how many times things were measured or cut or bought etc. etc. the "blogger" in this instance appears to be sharing frustrations that many of us have,- we've all been there and done that. Although, sadly, none of us can be as perfect as you.

That said, the fact that no one stays open around here except Wal-mart is a hinderance in many other areas of our shopping needs. Many of us do work, many of us odd hours. Many of us work until 5 in the afternoon and if we need supplies that Wal-mart doesn't offer we are out of luck. Would be nice if local stores stayed open just a bit longer. Maybe they could even offer free services such as a "Perfect Project Planners" to measure twice, or even thrice before expending our monies and energy, for all of us "retards" that don't get it right the first time. Need a job?

I have the answer! This country needs to establish a "do It Yourself Wehrmacht". It could provide state-assisted training for the chore-challenged, and administer appropriate punishment for imperfect handyman performance. Punishment could range from a three-paddle spanking to beheading, depending upon the severity of the infraction. The Gruppenfuhrer should be a master do-it-yourself'er and literary critic.

Wow! Jack, apparently you have an innate, oops sorry, a "built-in innate excuse for failure" AND you wanted to drive to Blytheville over and over again, you just didn't know it! Don't you feel better now?

Now that we've all been properly educated as to why we all fail - heck I feel better! Whew, load off my back. It's built in.

Anywho- wasn't this blog originally just about being frustrated with one's self over making mistakes (Lived there Once NEVER makes mistakes- God himself is here blogging with us! Woo-ee!) and further more, being frustrated with stores not being open when you need them? When did it become a witch hunt for less than perfect planning carpenters?

Yes, there was a time, when schools taught shop classes. It is a pity they don't. But going to a shop class doesn't make anyone perfect 100 percent of the time, except for you "Lived There Once". So, is this now turning out to be a spanking to the teachers of our community as well! You're on a roll! What's next???

*waiting anxiously*

Oh, by the way David, - hilarious. Beheading! We'd all be dead! Except you know who of course....

So "Lived There Once", we have made the transition from inept handymen to dung beetles. Sometime when I am feeling particularly mean-spirited, I may attempt to describe your behavior.
