Living alone is when you have arms that won't reach where you want them to?

[fuzzybuddy]

I was moving the lawn and a tree branch bit me on right back. I wanted to put some antibiotic ointment on it. It's exactly where I can't reach it. That's when the problem of living alone is you only have two arms that won't reach where you want them to.

I hear ya but in my opinion living alone is still the best option for me.

I have 5 friends in my condo building who would be happy to help me.

I seem to remember a couple of prior threads on this in the last year.

Wasn't the top answer something like putting a sign out front saying "Kids! Free candy if you stop by and give me a hand."

Smear the ointment on a wall then back up against it and wiggle around! Problem solved, you're welcome.

Hang the sponge on a door jam and "do the bear".
