But for some reason, (back at my previous job) when a safe needed opening, I was the go-to person. Go figure.<BR/><BR/>I used to be pretty self-sufficient before David came along. <BR/><BR/>Now, I have conveniently forgotten all about computers, lawn care, home theatre systems and the like.<BR/><BR/>However, last year whilst I sat in rush hour traffice near Washington DC, I had to talk him through using the coffee maker.

When I walk George I don't want to carry a bunch with me so I, ahem, leave them in a 'safe' place outside the kitchen door. Don't tell anyone, especially not Husband who is more like yours in the locking-up respect. <BR/><BR/>And it was perfectly reasonable to check that the little lever had popped out properly. In work we have dead locks - you know the sort that you turn to lock but that just using the handle to open teh door opens the dead-lock? How many times Have I checked that they're on by opening the door?!
