Windy's Page for Thought

I will ramble here if I can

Now I'm going to post a response to a question I found on OttO's blog. It is copied right from her post below.
I heard on the radio while driving to work this morning that in 125,000 years, the male species will be extinct. Interesting, eh? They are the only ones that possess a y chromosome and they say it is 'weak and decrepit.' I thought this may interest you. What would you NOT miss about men? What would you miss? ~OttO's blog of Friday, October 17.

Hmmm.... It seems to me that sometimes men lose their tempers a little easier than women. I wouldn't miss that. I also wouldn't miss the fact that sometimes the men I know speak before they think. Things I'd miss? My husband is the handiest guy I know! He fixes cars and almost anything with a motor. He is currently working on our drier as the bearings are worn out in the motor. We are just waiting for the part which should be here by the weekend. He changes the oil in all our stuff, including the lawnmowers and rototiller. He can fix the car or trucks when anything goes wrong! One time the heater went dead on my way to work. This was when I worked in Saginaw, and of course I was only about half way there when it happened. It was a snowy slushy day, and very hard to drive with no working defrosters! So.... When I got to work, I called Dave. We decided it would be cheaper for him to buy the part and take the day off to fix it. It was an all day job and would have cost over $600 for a mechanic to do it! He came down to Saginaw and picked up the car and left me the truck, then he got the part and went home and fixed the car. By the time I got home from work he was just finishing up! I would really miss stuff like that! He also remodels rooms in the house, currently the 2 bathrooms and our bedroom is finished, Nick's room is next, then hopefully in 2 years he will do the kitchen and living room. But the best thing about this man I know and love is that we still laugh and talk together! He has been working out of town a lot and when he comes home on Thursday evening, or even sometimes on Friday, we spend several hours in the garage getting caught up on what each of us did that week. We also laugh about some of the stuff that happened. He is not only a handy guy to have around, I'd have to say, he is my best friend! I believe the world would not be around for long if men were not here! Just remember, it takes two to reproduce!

Thanks OttO, for giving me this topic to write about!
