My co-worker Cathy has a similar habit, and if we're working at the same time, one or the other of us will get both drinks. I can just tell them, "I need my drink and Cathy's" and they know what to do. I also nearly always have a granola bar in my purse, because you never know when you will really need a granola bar. It would be fairly useless in fixing ear buds or shower caddies, however. I've been sitting here trying to think of something I've actually fixed, and I'm really coming up short.<BR/><BR/>Wait...does grammar count? I actually got a letter from the governor today (canned letter sent to every 8th grader) with a dangling participle. Can you believe it? If you need an proofreader/editor, I am an excellent fixer.Blythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07063341712839972169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155315414661825399.post-69132262180123346702008-04-14T10:01:00.001-07:002008-04-14T10:01:00.001-07:00Since we just moved in to our new place, we have h...Since we just moved in to our new place, we have had to figure out lots of quick fixes.

Wrap it around the pipe, and no more slipping.<BR/><BR/>Also, my food quick fix is ice breakers sours.

It worked until the landlord came and fixed it. I also used duct tape to hold a couch on the back of a pick up truck. It has many uses and I keep a supply of it in my car.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155315414661825399.post-67735444715371533822008-04-13T16:56:00.000-07:002008-04-13T16:56:00.000-07:00Duct tape and safety pin, and a bag of semi-sweet ...Duct tape and safety pin, and a bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips in the freezer: top 3 quick fixes in our household.Dawn D.

A perfect quick fix.
