Who would have thought a simple ruler could bring such satisfaction to his life! I guess it's where he did the draw.

Glad I wasn't in that conversation. I would have been forced to lie!

Unbelievable Terry, i lent a new electric saw to a neighbour, once, it came back all scratched, never again I learnt my lesson.

I once lent some wood chisels to a neighbour. He used them to chop the the screws holding his kitchen cabinets to the wall... and then gave them back...... not a word! At least I didn’t get pregnant. Terry
