Do you know how to cook? If your wife, or mother, or GF has to go away for a few days, could you fend for yourself?
An elderly friend of mine suddenly had to take care of himself. His wife got word that their daughter had to have emergency surgery. Bam! Within half an hour, his wife was out the door, and he was on his own.
She left a load of laundry in the washer, another one in the dryer. No food cooked up. Always before, if she went somewhere, she cooked up dinners for every night and put them in the freezer, so he could put them into the microwave.
So, here he was. No food cooked. No idea of how to care for clothes out of the dryer. No idea of how to dry what was in the washer.
We went over there. He made coffee. Put twice as much coffee in the pot as his wife does, half as much water. Wow!
He better hope that she outlives him, as he'd have no idea of how to take care of himself.
Could you take care of yourself, guys?
