Guys?
There's a nice list of volunteers for errands, etc. by the gals. So, what can you guys bring to the plate? Willing to help fix a toilet or do a minor repair for a sick one? A little manual labor? Come on, fellas, we know you want to help.

Re: Guys?
This may be going beyond the scope of what I had in mind. Invalids can pay someone to do those services. It may be harder to find someone to do the type of service initially sought.
A home cooked meal or a visit, a trip to the doctor, something to nourish the soul..these are the things I was suggesting. You don't want this thing to snowball out of hand so that no one will want to do anything. True need should come into play here. For the other stuff, I think they should call a handyman. IMHO only. |
Re: Guys?
I agree. Nothing stops a volunteer faster than feeling used and abused.

Re: Guys?
I just figured the guys would be more comfortable offering these type of services than the nourishing type. Heck, I can remember when my back was out and my biggest problem was the flourescent light in my kitchen had gone out. There was no way I could fix it and it certainly isn't the type of thing I would want to call a handyman for. Not talking about the big jobs, but the truly little ones.

Re: Guys?
However, if we were there, I know my hubs would volunteer. He loves to cook and is pretty darn good at it. He's also a great conversationalist and would enjoy keeping someone company for a while (sitting, watching and discussing a game on tv, for example), playing chess or other games, or running simple errands.
I'm sure there are other men here like my hubs. |
Re: Guys?
Red, I think that's what handymen are for..the little things. For a larger job I would call a plumber, electrician, etc. Handymen need to make a living, too.
