OT Sort Of...Dazor rant

O.K. D.H. said not to worry, HE was going to fix my Dazor lamp so I could
get back to my stitching. He took it apart last night, proclaimed it
'fixed', and went to bed. About half an hour later I set up my stitching,
swung the lamp over my work, and pushed the button to turn it on. It
shorted out. Seething, I put my stitching away. Today DH gets home from
work and says not to worry. HE knew what the problem was. So he took my
lamp apart, and laid the several pieces on the table. Then he discovered he
had no idea where all those 'loose wires' went, couldn't fix it after all,
and asked what I was cooking for supper!!!! The parts are still laying on
the table, where they will be until I take my lamp to the lamp store
tomorrow! GGGGGRRRRRR!!! Would somebody please tell me again why I got
married? And thank you very much for allowing the rant!

Now really! If any one of us could answer that question, we would
have books on the market and television shows !!!

Sorry about the lamp though.

Small boys ALWAYS take things apart but are unable to put them together
again! Big boys should have grown out of it!

Your DH doesn't sound as if he has any interest in learning to fix lamps, so
next time a lamp (or other electrical appliance he is unfamiliar with
repairing) breaks, just send it out to be fixed; don't even mention it to
him. It may cost more in $$, but less in aggrivation.

Another alternative is to get some books on repairs around the house, and do
it yourself. (And I wouldn't mention your success to him either, or he'll
be bringing you more things to fix!) Hope the shop can fix your lamp up
just like new, and soon.
Just my .02.

If I remember it correctly, big boys are only small boys in a bigger body
and the only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys.

LOLOL! Mine has, thank God! Particularly now we have a very clever B.I.L
not to mention a wonderful ex-Son in law who can fix absolutely ANYTHING!!!

Our daughter`s "better half " is one of those people who takes things to
pieces and never puts them back together again, though! It drives her nuts!

Mind you, I can fix most things myself, much to DH`s annoyance.

This just gets better and better (Not). We took the lamp to the lighting
store. They've never seen one like that and can't fix it. So I did the only
thing left. I stopped at the LCB and bought a bottle of white wine (my
fav.) That night one of my karate students called. He wanted to come by
and practice at our house. After 2 hours karate training, and a shared
bottle of wine.....he brought one ) He said they have an on-site
electrician where he works, and the electricians BOSS works Tuesdays. So he
packed my lamp up, and he's taking to to work with him. My student is a
heavy duty truck mechanic. Why there would be an electrician on his job
site is anybody's guess but hey, I'm getting desperate! lol If my lamp
comes back with a MAC bulldog welded to the front of it, I'll know why. )
