Fanny, you're hardly "invisible," and you still have to be on your toes for suspicious men at any age.

There have been times in the past when I've found some very 'suggestive' and once when one left the bathroom door open when he knew I'd be passing that way so as to expose himself. I found them all extremely intimidating. I can't say that there was one only 'romantic'.<br />Now I'm at the 'invisible' stage in my life I'm still left with the problem of finding a good workman, thankfully no other worries!Frankie Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10787954599014677407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345934324603392493.post-64915583495497848332014-03-02T06:57:09.082-08:002014-03-02T06:57:09.082-08:00Yeah, the men who show up at my house are usually ...Yeah, the men who show up at my house are usually less than attractive. When I worked in I.T., though, one of the guys from Lexmark who showed up to fix our printers when there were warranty issues was a real hottie. All the women would gather around to watch him work. You do have to be careful, though. There was one of those murder shows I was watching on Investigation Discovery where an attractive woman was killed by a man who had shown up to do work on her house.Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345934324603392493.post-54004111746601685582014-03-01T19:57:23.769-08:002014-03-01T19:57:23.769-08:00Robyn - Lots of clever innuendos, and Gorilla does...Robyn - Lots of clever innuendos, and Gorilla does have a way with words!

I'd heard about pizza delivery guys delivering more than pizza. Or maybe that only happened in my dreams or writing. Yet I didn't know there was so much actual vying for the tip, or to get to the top, to finish the job with the customer more than fully satisfied...the innuendos are countless. But Gorilla nailed them, so I'll stop.

I thought we needed a plumber, since it took three men to install it in the first place. One on the first trip, and two on the second. Much to my surprise, my husband installed the new one, while I was at an appointment.
