Happy Thursday, my friends,

Since my hip surgery I have had the opportunity to find out (yet again) what it is like to be dependent on others for your daily needs.  I hope you are not at a place like that but there are things we all need help with whether it is getting dressed in the morning, different actions on the computer or changing the oil on your car.

What are some of the things you need help with?

You know the drill, please post a lot and post answer one at a time.
I THANK YOU as I know there is lots of fun stuff out there on Gather these days you could be doing.  I hope you enjoy and perhaps gather ( : some gratitude along the way at all you can do.

All the best,
Susan

I need help with operating the lawn mower. It's a ride on one and I'm just clueless when it comes to machinery or electronics.

Now that I finally have my new leg, I don't need help in doing anything...except maybe a ride to get to the doctor's office or to therapy, which I don't even really need to go to. The couple things I was unable to do prior to this, I can now do once again.
any lifting over a few pounds...............

Oh all the time. I work in accounting so often I have to look for help from other as to why something is the way it is, what happened, and often why they did something they did.

I need help from my husband with the kids. There are moments in a Mom's life where you just need a break for an hour or two to get a re-charge.
Angela A. Sep 18, 2008, 2:29pm EDT
I agree with Monica. I need the same thing. Help with the kids.

I love this topic! My sanity! I lost it somewhere and I can't find it.

Since I suffer from fibromyalgia and other health problems, I can't do anything that requires heavy lifting (taking out the garbage, carrying the laundry basket), repetitive bending or reaching (can't do all the housework at one time), etc.

Thankfully, things haven't gotten so bad where I can't function at all.

I am good at the physical stuff, but not so great on the dealing with life issues. Confrontation is something that I really need help with. I am a big wuss.

I need help with helping my brother and his wife and a friend who moved in with hubby and I and are out of work and ran out of unemployment benefits so lost their rental and two are disabled and trying to get one on SSD the other gets $997 a month. Half that pays for my brothers truck payment. They smoke all three. I am very allergic to tobacco and coughing a lot now and feel sick. The smoke outside but it stays on skin, pores, hair and clothing. I cannot support them and they have helped with getting food from food bank but that is all. I too am disabled with fibromyalgia. My sister in law is lazy and won't help not even fix her own meals or wash dishes or clothes. I need them to get a job and in their own place. ASAP before I am in the hospital and can't pay for medical needs.

Dr. Erica Goodstone Sep 30, 2008, 10:49pm EDT
The other day I decided to check the oil in my Jaguar - only this time (after 3 years of doing this), I could not get the dip stick back into the slot where it goes. I had to call Jaguar towing service to come and help me. The guy arrived after about 1 1/2 hours - and he put the dip stick in with one swift motionl. I tried again with him watching, at least 6 times, and just could not do it!
