Missing: A Man To Work My Wires!

Posted to House Bloggers by Debbie Nigro on Tue, 11/20/2007 - 1:15pm

Living without a man in the house poses challenges for me when it comes to electronic stuff. Example, I got home from the Pre-Press Cocktail Party for the International Consumer Electronics Show and the TV in my bedroom was all "fuzz".

Why? I don't know. That's my point. I'm sure it was just some wire. I'm in the middle of a "decorator intervention, men with hammers who must have unplugged something when they moved the TV.

Who the heck was I going to call at 1:30 a.m. for help? OK, so I didn't go right home after the consumer electronics party.

My idea of a workable consumer electronic is my blowdryer. Oh yeah and I'm a wiz at the new iPhone which I work faster than a bookie. Beyond those however, I'm in trouble.

I can't watch a DVD unless my daughter's boyfriend is visiting, can't figure out why I'm not online unless I call one of the guys who works in my building and have three remotes that I treat like Hope Diamonds, as I live in fear of pressing the wrong button.

At the consumer electronics press party, I just glanced over shoulders at yet more cool stuff I'm not mature enough to own as long as I'm living without a man. Don't you think there should be a 24-hour consumer electronics help hotline for divorced women?

Better yet, why not a couple of 24-hour electronically gifted single, good-looking men? After all, aren't there millions of divorced guys out there with free time on their hands because no one's asking them to help with wires any more?

I think I might be onto something here. Matchmaking based on a woman's electronic needs instead of her emotional needs. Could be a hit.
