I have been forbidden to buy the Sawzall.

Hubby said he will demo the kitchen.

Life stinks. I can't have ANY fun. Poo.

I don't know how hubby expects me to have any good material to post on here if he denies me my power tools, power kites or other fun things.

I know he is looking at my ability to hold onto things lately, which due to the hand neuropathy, is tenuous at best.

I am sure the Sawzall has a safety device.

Hubby says I will get a bad Body Hum from it, if I have a body left after my misadventures with it.

Yes, you might get alot of unpleasant vibration effects.

I used to use a power tool outside... and my hands couldn't take it. (a small snowblower).

I feel like the Princess and the Pea. Everything that is fun hurts me.

You are right, power tools cause hideous vibration issues, not good for neuropathy 'sufferers'.

Pardon me while I go sit on my mattress and complain. That makes people feel sorry for me less......

I have an electric chainsaw. It's very light and quiet compared to a gas one, and it doesn't give me buzzies too bad. Maybe you should get one of those...what could possibly go wrong?

Cy with a chainsaw...maybe they will make a movie about me! Eh, maybe not.

I think the Sawzall is all I can handle.

Chainsaw is big league. I could do enough damage with the Sawzall. And if I hurt myself, I will try the anbesol!

Are you my sister? I have been called "The Princess and The Pea" too. Me, more for the reasoning that I feel everything, everything tends to bother me. If there was a pea under my mattress, I would know it, just like those invisible ones in our shoes!

As for the sunlight, it's funny you mentioned it. When Dec 21st hits us, my boss's wife says, "Good, now the days will get longer, we will see light as we walk out. At 5pm, when we leave work, it's light now...here, before the 21st, it's dark nearly by 4:30. Funny, I have lived here for 6 yrs, and I still am not used to the fact that it gets dark so early in the evening here. In the summer, 9pm, it's dark, never in Michigan. Oh well, I need the light, I enjoy the longer days.
