Inge,

I used to have a cat that would 'assist' me when I worked on the car.  A
very affectionate cat & efficient 'mouser'.  As I lay on my back, on the
creeper, under the car, with barely any clearance between myself and the
underside of the vehicle, he would crawl upon my chest, put his face to my
face as a confirmation of just who was the 'owner' here, then turn around
and lay down with his posterior under my chin, with the swish of his tail
dislodging debris from above.

That is when the girls needed to come out and 'help' dad with the car...  It
proved to be good for them and me.

My wife needs no particular incentive to make a Wal-Mart run as she is
constantly sewing or making something - as am I [making, or doing something,
that is.  Have not yet tried my hands as a 'seamster'.  Probably induce a
'wardrobe malfunction'....]

I do neither of that: I send wife, switch on radio, empty a can of beer and
creep back under my car.

Steve, 

While you're driving through the states to your new job or while you're
fixing up your new digs in Pennsylvania; I'm sure a trip to Wal-Mart will be
in your future, so here is some tips in true TechNet fashion.

 Subject: Wal-Mart by Age Group

 

You are in the  middle of some kind of project around the house mowing the
lawn, putting a new  fence in, painting the living room, or whatever.  You
are hot and sweaty,  covered in dirt or paint.  You have your old work
clothes on.  You  know, the outfit - shorts with the hole in crotch, old
T-shirt with a stain  from who knows what, and an old pair of tennis shoes.
Right in the middle  of this great home improvement project you realize you
need to run to Wal-Mart  to get something to help complete the job.

Depending on your  age you might do the following:

In  your 20's:

Stop what you are  doing. Shave, take a shower, blow dry your hair, brush
your teeth, floss,  and put on clean clothes.  Check yourself in the mirror
and flex.  Add  a dab of your favorite cologne because you never know, you
just might meet some  hot chick while standing in the checkout lane.  You
went to school with the  pretty girl running the register.

In  your 30's:

Stop what you are  doing, put on clean shorts and shirt.  Change shoes.
You married the  hot chick so no need for much else.  Wash your hands and
comb your  hair.  Check yourself in the mirror.  Still got it.  Add a shot
of your favorite cologne to cover the smell.  The cute girl running the
register is the kid sister to someone you went to school with.

In  your 40's:

Stop what you are  doing. Put a sweatshirt that is long enough to cover the
hole in the crotch of  your shorts.  Put on different shoes and a hat.  Wash
your  hands.  Your bottle of Brute Cologne is almost empty so you don't want
to  waste any of it on a trip to Wal-Mart.  Check yourself in the mirror and
do  more sucking in than flexing.  The spicy young thing running the
register  is your daughter's age and you feel weird thinking she is spicy.

In  your 50's:    

Stop what you are  doing.  Put a hat on, wipe the dirt off your hands
onto your shirt.   Change shoes because you don't want to get dirt in
your new sports car.   Check yourself in the mirror and you swear not to
wear that shirt  anymore because it makes you look fat.  The Cutie running
the register  smiles when she sees you coming and you think you still have
it.  Then you  remember the hat you have on is from Buddy's Bait & Beer Bar
and it says, 'I  Got Worms.'

In  your 60's:

Stop what you are  doing. No need for a hat anymore. Hose the dog shit off
your shoes The  mirror was shattered when you were in your 50's. You hope
you have  underwear on so nothing hangs out the hole in your pants.
The girl running the  register may be cute, but you don't have your glasses
on so you are not  sure.

In  your 70's:

Stop what you are  doing. Wait to go to Wal-Mart until they have your
prescriptions ready,  too.  Don't even notice the dog shit on your shoes.
The young thing at  the register smiles at you because you remind her of her
grandfather.

In  your 80's: 

Stop what you are  doing.  Start again.  Then stop again.  Now you remember
you  needed to go to Wal-Mart.  Go to Wal-Mart and wander around trying to
think  what the hell it is you are looking for.  Fart out loud and you think
you  heard someone called out your name.  You went to school with the old
lady  who greeted you at the front door.
