Do-it-your-own-damn-self…
I’ve been cursing that phrase for the past several days. How long ago was it when I last blogged about the water heater switch? Well, what I failed to mention that day was, when all was said and done – zero hot water, one unwanted shock permanent, four hours of precious knitting time lost, and one deflated confidence - I also lost the functioning of the overhead light.
So, for the past several days as I get up to pee in the middle of the night and wander into a dark bathroom, I curse loudly the man (and I’m SURE it was a man) who invented that hyphenated, hip phrase “do-it-yourself”. Yeah, I did-it-myself alright. Why wait for the overhead light switch to brake down on its own when you can DO-IT-YOURSELF?!

Oh man Lynn-- I'm sorry!! Come live with me.
ReplyDeleteDon´t cry, Lynn. Electricity in Italy AND stores telling/selling "do it yourself" in Italy are not easy things to deal with. We bought a switch for outside light last summer, as you might remember. It worked this way: Either all the time or not at all.
ReplyDeleteCould you please, for my sake, stay away from these things, because I would like to have you around next time, I come to Italy!!!!
Hey, Lynn, it's great to read about your knitting and your adventure in Italy. I'm knitting and weaving a lot, and living on my own, so I have experiences like the switch on the water heater. Would you send me our e-mail address, so I can write you, I have some knitting questions. Thanks, Barb Giesen, bgiesen@core.com
