i so LOVED watching macgyver when i was younger. i'm pretty sure i've seen every episode at least twice, and i could watch them all again and still love it. so i guess it's no surprise that i married the physician version of him.
the doc does all sorts of crazy things when something is broken. but he never fails to get it working again. the kids always say he can fix anything. there's the time that the window in our camry wouldn't stay up. you would roll it up and it would drop down a bit when you would close the door. of course we worried about not being able to completely lock the car and someone stealing something. so he brought home some sort of cement compound used in the operating room. he took the car door apart and put in the cement and 'rigged' the door window to stay up. then there's the time when the plastic shelf on the door of the fridge cracked from the kids hanging on it. he takes it out to the garage and screws some sort of extra piece to it so that it will attach and not fall off anymore. i'm also remembering the 'prosthetic foot' he attached to the outdoor grill because it lost a wheel in a storm. there are toys and cars and bikes and appliances and houses and many other things that he has 'rigged' so they can continue functioning and we can avoid buying something new. of course there's the trail of medical supplies that is scattered all over the house just sitting, waiting to be used for some sort of repair project. he uses surgical grabbers and towels when he fixes the car. i used surgical gloves the other day to color my hair with (yes i need to get to the beauty supply store). the skin glue and suture are always well-stocked.
yes, i married doc macgyver.

medical supplies are very multi-functional. and you'd think with all the stuff i've collected i'd have some of that glue, but no. and mason's tooth i thought would take forever, there are lots of kids he knows that lost teeth last year - but now he already has a second loose one, so he'll have a huge gap and perhaps start talking strangly in the next month.
