I like to do things myself for the reasons you give, and because I've felt more empowered to do things for myself because I live here in the US.zippiknits...sometimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385498014336581117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2084517508325421309.post-11293884441943439682014-09-02T11:25:32.318-06:002014-09-02T11:25:32.318-06:00If someone shows you a closed fist,figuratively or...If someone shows you a closed fist,figuratively or literally, when you ask for help, then they have the problem, and not you.
