I sure am glad I brought up that tire example

Just for the record, my only responsibility in chaning a tire is knowing who to call and being able to show them where the jack and spare are. I don't trust myself enough to get the jack in the correct place on the frame, and I refuse to be the foolish girl jumping on the tire iron on the side of the road ... I'm lacking the upper body strength Lixy mentioned.

But have a light that needs re-wiring... as long as I can find my way to the circuit box, it's all good, I'll play with the wires. I've been zapped once I won't make that mistake again.

I still think much of this is in the way we were raised and our personal circumstances. I'd love to have a man take care of all the "manly" things, but until I allow one to do all those things after years of being independant, I'll handle it all on my own or pay someone.
