I’m always building something or fixing something and you know how it is. Sometimes your things come out a bit imperfect. One of the most recent DoItYourself projects that I got involved in was putting together a desk. It was pretty simple even the instructions were not clear. I did have a problem when it came to putting together the chairs. They didn’t look right. I wasn’t sure if they were safe because the bars kept coming out. Sure enough and soon as I sat down the chair collapsed! Luckily I didn’t fall and hurt myself. I studied the chair for a while and was able to put it together without the fear of it falling apart again.

At the time I didn’t know they had special sites that help you with your own projects. If I would have known that I would have checked out DoItYourself.com to figure out a way to put that chair together because it didn’t look right to me in the first place. They also have DoItYourself DVDs that help you get better results. Remember that knowledge is power and if this is your first time putting together anything then I would suggest that you seek all the help that you can get. I’ve built many things, often without tools and I can tell you that is not the route you want to take.

Hopefully you’ll be able to find help for your next DoItYourself project. I’m going to check to see if they have anything that tells you how to install key in knob lock because that is my next project!

I was reading online today that Oprah is the highest earning personality on television. That makes me feel good. It gives me hope. Oprah makes $260 million and she is worth 1.5 billion. Now I understand why she can afford to give away all that stuff. She’s loaded! Jerry Seinfeld is behind her with grossing $60 million. I was surprised by that. How can he be #2? I thought he quit television when he quit his show. They shouldn’t include him in this list. I guess they wanted to make the numbers seem a little better. But he’s still behind Oprah by $200 million. He has a long way to go before he catches up. Oprah, will you adopt me?
