Fix it!!

I want to issue a challenge to all of my readers, well, those of you who clicked here from the Facebook post. I want you to take one broken thing and keep from throwing it away. I want you to instead fix it this time. Don't just throw out that fan that quit turning or that little snowman ornament just because the head is no longer attached to the body.

Now I know you will say things like; "I don't know how!", "I can just buy another one.", "Who cares?". I care and I can teach you how to fix anything. I want you to send me a message, comment on my blog, or even call me so we can discuss how to fix that lamp that doesn't work anymore. Most simple little repairs only require a few minutes of your time, a couple simple tools and sometimes just a little elbow grease to get the gunk out.

Trust me, I know how to at least take something apart. If you were going to throw this "useless thing" away anyway, then now you can recycle the plastic and metal you have separated if you are unsuccessful. If you fix it, you have saved one more thing from going into that building mound of trash, at least for a little while.
