Siggy's Blurbs: Siggy's Edge of Country …

My wife and I had this conversation regarding a drawer which the front came off:  I told her I did not want to nail it together.  I have trouble hammering a nail in straight.  I preferred to glue it together.

When I told her this. (???) She insisted I nail it together.  Her attitude is ‘You can do anything if you set your mind to do it.’  It is true that some things I give up on too quickly.

This was different.  I really do have difficulty doing this.  I do not have fine manual dexterity.  There is not much margin for error.  People do have limitations.  I am aware of some of mine.

I never would have become a carpenter.  I would have starved.  Any time I do something requiring finer manual dexterity I have lots of difficulties and fumble around.  There is no way around that.  I can’t will it away.
