Manly Know-how

I can do minimal shit in all regions, really. Mostly because I don't know the actual standards for putting up a wall (16 inches in betwen 2x4s, I think?), laying sheetrock, et cetera.

I could not be relied upon for setting anything electrical into a home, but I can fix my own electronics - just not stringing shit up.

As far as the car is concerned, I can almost ALWAYS pinpoint the problem - fixing it is an entire new ball game, since I don't know the steps to go through to get there. But I am pretty car-savvy. Thanks Dad.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I know my father is an avid "family man." Maybe it's because he's European, but I have yet to find an American family who is as tightly knit as the European/Arabic ones I've come across.

It's a strange thing to see people of a nuclear family coming home at 5 or 6 or whatever and WHILE the kids are there, everyone grabs the fast food which one of the parents brought home and everyone scatters.

I am TERRIFIED I will become a mother who allows that.

I think this also explains why so many men these days are just pussies in general. It's because they've been raised by women.

God, I could hug you for that.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
