I'm all for the New World Order, but for the life of me I can't come up with anything I can fix that you probably can't. That's too bad, because now your pies are taunting me.

I love homemade pies and will willingly offer my husband to fix whatever you like. He refinished most of our basement by himself, including electrical and plumbing, and is also a computer guy. Have handyman, will pimp him out for pie.

2009-12-04T16:02:21.955-07:00

Ha! No! There are people at the car-graveyard that do it for you and all you do is walk up to the desk and pay them for the used one. But the thought of MY husband doing anything car/mechanical like digging around for a new alternator makes me chuckle.
Heck, if you don't have car-graveyards there, give me the make/model/year of your car, and I will find you one down here. lol

I trade bread for babysitting, mending for stained-glass supplies, and soap for the adoration of my neighbors. I'm for sale. But I can't help with the alt'nator. Or the new car. Carina, we still only have a Honda Civic. Only. If I could trade pie for a new car, even if I had to make pie every day, I'd so be on it.

i am handy. i can make pies. that won't get you anywhere, will it?

2009-12-02T16:37:12.770-07:00

Uh...I can cut molding, and caulk bathtubs in a single bound.

2009-12-02T14:58:21.947-07:00

Yeah, I'm pretty darn lucky. He only has one flaw. He doesn't like baked goods. Working on that.

2009-12-02T14:55:08.561-07:00

Ashley, I have to talk him through putting oil in the car. Not an oil CHANGE, putting oil IN the car. There is no way, on God's green earth, my husband could ever step foot inside a car graveyard. I dream of such a thing.

La Yen, I want you to come to BNL so bad.

2009-12-02T13:55:42.720-07:00

I can replace the battery and the spark plugs. That is all.

And I can make a killer buttermilk pie.

And if I could get out there with the pie by BNL, I would trade anything for that.

2009-12-02T13:17:02.890-07:00

The hubs needed a new alternator in his crap car once. He went to the car-graveyard and bought one for cheap that they tore out of a different (although probably better) car.
Maybe that would help?

So listen... if it is an alternator issue, be sure...

2009-12-02T12:09:46.950-07:00

So listen... if it is an alternator issue, be sure to go to an auto parts place that will give you a rebate for handing over your old one.

You're welcome. No pie payment required. ;)

Oh, Kalli, Jeeps are teh suck!

2009-12-02T11:38:33.311-07:00

Mine can tile. Good gravy, the man can tile. File that away for later.

But I would want cakes.

2009-12-02T11:34:25.660-07:00

Let me know how this works out for you, I have a basement that needs finishing.

2009-12-02T11:30:36.294-07:00

We can share war stories, about how my hub's jeep has been out of commission for almost 2 months now while the mechanic goes out and builds up his meth empire instead. Ever had your car held hostage? ME TOO.

At this point I'd pretty much do anything to get it fixed for good so we can sell the stupid thing in Feb. when we pay it off. PAY IT OFF. I hate especially that it's all broke down and we've put $1800 and a new engine into it 3 effing months before we paid it off, and it still doesn't work.

2009-12-02T11:15:19.260-07:00

Steve is not handy, unless it's whole wheat bread that needs fixing. But, if you need to threaten to sue somebody, he can do that. Me? I can watch children at a moment's notice, and will do so anytime for baked goods (that aren't pie).

Good luck with the car repair. Debra's guy seems pretty darn good. I'd like that number for myself, I believe.

2009-12-02T10:30:56.877-07:00

Oh, yeah, Marianne, I made coconut cream pie tarts once, didn't I? Those were good. I will also take organization help. I can't do organization. OK, that's not true, I don't feel like organizing anything when I could...not.

Rookie- I will try to figure out a system of trade.

Everyone hear that? Kim's giving out marshmallows in my behalf.

2009-12-02T10:28:45.077-07:00

OH is the only good math tutor he knows. That one's easy. If you can arrange for children to be transported to our house, we'll tutor them for free. I MEAN, I'm gonna need a pie.

Debra--You are the luckiest girl on earth, he's so sweet! And handy!

Kristina- I think you should just get yourself to Costco and volunteer to host a Snuggie in store event, you could sell a zillion!

2009-12-02T10:18:02.226-07:00

I really like your Other Half...so chances are I'd really like pe's!

I've been meaning to ask OH if he knows any good math tutors.

I don't know what I can do for you, but if you...

2009-12-02T10:09:47.915-07:00

I don't know what I can do for you, but if you could think of something that would merit your coconut cream tarts, I will be in Utah for 2 & 1/2 weeks over the holidays. I could polish said car. Or organize your shoes? Or...

2009-12-02T10:05:39.145-07:00

My husband is by far the least handiest husband on the earth. But having said that, he can make a pumpkin creme brulee that makes women say inappropriate things to married men. He can roast a prime rib (truly prime, not choice) that would make Lawry's swoon.

So if you car was in need of a good meal, then we would be set. I don't like making pies. Crust and I don't get along. You could make me a chocolate hazelnut cream pie. I could so go for that right now.

2009-12-02T10:01:38.664-07:00

I know how to make a Snuggie look awesome. I think that's definitely pie worthy.

2009-12-02T08:58:04.054-07:00

If that doesn't work out I know a guy who would be more than happy to help out. He fixes your computers and cubicles by day, cars by night. He just fixed an estimated $900 repair job on our car for $70. And I know for a fact he is easily bribed with thai curry.

2009-12-02T08:32:10.822-07:00

If it will help sweeten the pot, I'll throw in some homemade chocolate dipped marshmallows for your new alternator. Mama needs a car that works, I SO get that.
