I decided today that I can fit a treadmill in my bedroom.

Treadmills are so darn heavy.. When I got mine, it was delivered. Yeah I paid way too much for delivery, but at least they carried it up to my second floor apartment for me.

I've moved three times since then.LOL..so I had to come up with another system..I sure wasn't going to tackle it alone. FYI There are local laborers who sit outside various stores or areas of town and wait to be hired on the spot for a job. My family always hires some a couple of these guys at 10 bucks an hour to do our moves for us. These guys are absolutely great. We started using the same guys every time..we just stored their phone number and call them anytime we need any kind of labor (painting, moving, gardening, you name it). Now when I moved to another state, I had to find new local workers...just last week I moved into an apartment in my same apartment complex and hired some guys for the move...I got their number and told them I'd call them anytime that I need help. They gladly work at $10/hr which is awesome.

I'm a gal with resources...and I don't need a boyfriend to do it all for me ;-)~Di

I need a part-time boyfriend. It's too hard to deal with a man ALL THE TIME. And I hate that I have to play the sympathetic woman. I'm not that type, really. But I'd like to add to your "when I need a man".

This is when I need a man:
When I want to have someone drive me somewhere (okay, that's a little bit sad)
When I want someone to hold me the way I haven't been held for the last 2 years or more (okay, that's really too sad)
When I want someone who can pick me up above their head (that's fun)and twirl me around (really fun) until I get dizzy (now that's just being silly!)

Okay, I REALLY need a man when I feel that "friend" just isn't enough. That's the cold, hard truth. But you know when I don't need a man? The holiday season. Ah, that wonderful time of year when most people over the age of 16 become majorly stressed-out to the point that they lash out at the drop of a hat. I already have family to deal with. But of course...I love them.

And (to lighten the mood), I DON'T need a man when I'm menstrual (a word which implies more than menstruating). I'm doing men a favor by saying "stay away!"
