So if you just found yourself without a spouse due to divorce or death what skills would you find necessary to have that you might not have used before?
I was thinking if this while I was doing the yard and thankful I know how to start a blower. 4951

I know how to start a blower.
 
@mattem: In the short run, I would likely just hire it out, but for the long run, I was thinking of using "blower" skills to find a Sugar Daddy to take care of all of the above, plus more. 4951

@donnatella:
 
Neither. Just the facts. I was taught to be resourceful and I am. I can manage a home on my own without a man. I like doing things with my hands. If I can't do it, I'll get help. I'm also good at that. Lmao. Emoticon 4951

There's just people out there that have no clue what to do. I'm glad I have some clue and can do most things I need to. I don't mind getting my hands dirty. 4951

@mattem: There are things I choose to do and things I opt out of. I will always opt out of yard work, car maintenance and general handyman work. I'd just rather pay for it to be done by someone else....my money and my choices. 4951
