Don't start me on logic and its lack thereof...

If you had an old thin piece of wood, would you soak it in hot water for 45 minutes and agitate at speed in a metal drum?

That's what happened to my grandmothers' 50yr old wooden handled sewing bag when I mentioned that it was dirty and needed a wash...

It's the same with certain items that melt in hot water or are labelled 'not safe for dishwashers'.

Ho hum.

Back in the olden days, when this womanz was in the prime of sweet young thinghood, the beau bought a brand new little sports car. I forget what it was -an MG or triumph- something of that ilk. The first night he got it, we went cruising through the local drive-in restaurant parking lot and he collected an entourage to go to the car wash where all the local wags could admire it under the bright lights of one of the stalls. Car buffs all, amateur mechanics. I was the only female in the bunch, and my knowledge and interest in cars extended to wanting to know where the gas cap was, and no further.

When enough oohing, awing, and looking under the hood had been accomplished, and we were all set to head back to the drive-in, the shiny, new little car would not start.   Up went the hood again, and four heads poked, fiddled, cranked, opined, etc., etc.

Early on, I commented that I had heard a little metallic clank when we stopped the car on arrival. I was completely ignored. Several minutes later, I very tentatively opined that maybe some one should look under the car. that metal clank, you know. Again, I was ignored.

Increasingly bored with the whole affair, I eventually looked under the car myself, and found a shiny, round, concave metal somethingorother with a lip that looked to me like it might be designed to seal or cap a hole. It looked brand new. The car was brand new. It was under the engine of the car. The car wouldn't start. All the poking, jiggling, fiddling with sparkplug wires, etc., on the part of our 4 heros were having no effect.

"Uh, Guys? Any of you know lots more than me, but so far you haven't found anything amiss. I found this under the car. It is so shiny and new, seems like it must have come off the car.   Might it seal something to create a vacuum, or....you know....might it have something to do with the problem?"

They didn't completely ignore me this time in that the beau did take the piece from my hand, and agree it was shiny and new enough to have come off the car. The guys collectively spent three seconds looking at it before agreeing that what ever it was, it couldn't be the problem. Eventually, they put a tow strap on the new little car and towed it to the dealership to be looked at the next day, and beau got one of them to take me home.

At the dealership the next day, the mechanic quickly noted the metal cap needed for some hose or engine compartment to create a vacuum seal for the engine to start and run was missing.

"Oh," says the beau. "This one?" pulling the piece I had found the night before from the back seat.

"Yep" said the mechanic. Beau had the decency to look sheepish.

5 minutes later we were out of there.


I believe the word Jacqui used was logic?

Bobert, if you go sermonizing round here, you just make damn sure you clear it up yourself!

Reminds me of a TV ad on just before Christmas for a shaver; accompanying various pictures of mountains, the moon and such, the voice-over would intone: 'Conquored Everest, conquored the oceans, conquored space;' to which the only reply was 'still can't put the seat down'...

Ha! Well, those directions sound okay to me, Amos. Yeah, I think I could handle that. Very organic. ;-)

I had a friend (male) who used to give directions sort of like that, only more drawn out and with way more specific technical details to look out for. He would provide so many of those details that your brain would just overload after awhile. I had to tell him, "Look, just tell me what street it's on, the street number, and what major intersection it is nearest to. I'll find it."

From: Amos
Date: 14 Jan 08 - 03:46 PM

Yeah, following "girly" directions can be mind-bending. VEry careful, and precise they are, but only if you know the code.

"Follow this road until it gets a little bit built-up and then turn left. Go along the windy road until you feel like you have gone too far and then go a little further, and there will be a sort of pinkish building and lots of flowers, mostly blue with some red ones here and there--really pretty... Turn right onto a road that you think is too small to be the right one, but keep going because it really is, and go a long way, and you'll see the place on the right next to the tall grass...a white house, that looks like it should be a little longer and maybe would be better beige...You can't miss it!"

I gotta tell ya, thank god for Google Maps.

LTS... In my experience, a man who is alone in the middle of a big deep forest where no-one can hear him is there because he failed to ask for or follow properly the directions.

In my experience, a man who is alone in the middle of a big deep forest where no-one can hear him is there because he wants to be there. My camp sits on a riverbank, nestled among tall pines and cedars, surrounded by wildlife, and the nearest payphone, including cell service, is six miles away. And, if I feel like it, that payphone was out of order when I tried to call. Can't argue with that.
