by

sf-271-less-bitching-more-fixing-album-art-arStuff is broken in your life and it needs fixing.  From your washing machine just dribbling cold water, to your driver-side car window not rolling down (or back up again), to your computer going kerflooey…again!  How can you not complain about all the wrong that’s not right in your life!?  How do you draw the line, pump the breaks, and stop that downward spiral that comes from too much complaining and not enough setting things straight?  Less Bitching, More Fixing is not only this episode’s title, it’s an affirmation, a mantra, your battle cry for changing things for the better in your life.
