Well, I feel this way as well, there can be too much overkill in a lot of cases.
Gabz: have you tried the "bunny ears" for tying shoes? lol!
LOL on the "bunny ears".........hubby has a story about a buny in it's hole and a tree or some such for the tying shoes.
There are just some things I am totally inept at.....I'm capable of teaching her how to cook and crochet but fail miserably in teaching her how to tie her shoes!
I'm human, and am the first to admit my shortcomings.
