Yeah, assuming relatively normal existing electrical work it's likely just unscrewing the old light from the junction box and making the new connection. (big assumption though). Also, nothing wrong with not being comfortable with it. No shame in calling someone.

I would absolutely do it for cake.

Plumbing scares me a lot more than electrical, tbh. The thought of flooding my house keeps me up at night.

Practice with them on some spare cable. Black and Decker used to have a really good electrical book with lots of photos and step by step guides.

as a bonus, you get to own more tools!

They should invent a kind of news that is good.

I have seen what you can DIY. Basic electrical is pretty straight forward as long as you a) shut off the breaker, b) verify with a volt meter that you shut off the breaker, and c) can do basic math so as not to burn your house down. You are capable of all these things.

THIS. During COVID, That Band I Like did monthly webcasts of archived shows and they showed the first show I'd ever seen, which at the time was mostly lost on me because I didn't know a lot of the songs. It was so great to see and hear it again. Now I can go back and listen to any show at any time.

Think of myself as a rational human being until I am presented with a tiny version of a regular-sized object. Is that a little jar of Marmite? No. That is a baby. That is little baby Marmito and I love him with my life.

That's right.

“The Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas” sounds like a title April Ludgate would bestow on you at a Pawnee town meeting just to get you out of her hair.

My mom moved to America to marry a professional golfer, they broke it off, and my mom went to a dance with one of her friends where a drunk Italian guy said “hey Irish, let’s dance.”

They were married 18 years, most of it was hell.

Since when do you have a pet kangaroo?

I've been dreaming of green leaves and dappled shade for the past three months. We're almost there. 🌱

The woman once bought me a banjo so she’s just a glutton for punishment.

My workaround for this is to be so musically hopeless that I never notice it. Meanwhile, my musician wife is in the other room having a seizure.

Kitbashing industrial equipment together to create spaceships is not a terrible approach.

They should invent plants that meow at you so you don’t neglect them and let them die.

Some friends of mine just spent a week on a boat in the Galapagos with like eight other people and one of them was Dee Snider. They all sort of became friends.
