Laundry - well, that is pretty much my responsibility, although

50/50, but I am working on it. Oh, and the best thing I ever did
when we remodelled was to put the laundry room on the
ground floor.

Way to go, Katherine - you obviously chose a great guy! Here's to *all* the
guys out there who understand they didn't marry a maid. (or maybe, to their
mothers who made sure they knew how to do for themselves. g)

Heh - I do wish I was on the ground floor, but then I also think how noisy
upstairs neighbors can get in an apartment building. Six of one, half dozen of
another. Oh, to be in a house!

I sure hope you keep getting better. May it not be too much longer until you're
feeling just fine.

Hugs,
Monica

I have to admit, that Don's VERY good about helping, his mom was GREAT, his
first wife was great, and the NAVY taught him, a place for everything, and
everything in it's place... so, very lucky am I.
He's a better cook than I am, on the everyday stuff... I get bored... now a
fancy dinner, that's my forte'.
I think I've told this before.... but in our southwestside neighborhood of
Chicago, during the 60;s, the women did NOT mow the lawns... well, my mom
DID... she was a stay at home wife and mom, and felt Dad worked six days a
week, ... the least she could do was MOW.... but OH, the neighborhood
cluccked and clucked... so mom got herself a shirt, well 2 actually, a
tshirt and a sweatshirt... that said in huge letters front and back...

It's OK !!! HE does the dishes !!!

Our next door neighbor started mowing her lawn too.... grin!
Hugs,
Noreen
Katherine, I sure hope you feel better!

Oh, believe me, it wasn't Keith's mother who made him like this! If it were
up to her, he would do nothing at all! Not even make his own coffee. She
used to be horrified that I didn't do these things. g

YOu have a point. But at least you have an elevator, don't you?

Nope, suburbia-type apt. buildings, outside entrances, stairs. Gack. g
However, I'll take aching knees over living downtown *any* day.

Oh, and sincerely hope you don't have to go any place New Year's Eve, but can
stay home and recuperate comfortably...

Perhaps they didn't do any laundry??? Lol... It is funny when you realise
what someone else has missed out on. Maybe they originally had it all
linked up, and years later disconnected and used some other form best known
to themselves.

Cher,

That is what I tell DH, there's always tomorrow. We have hardwood floors
throughout the house and the swiffer is the neatest thing to use for dust
cloths and on the floor, even does the panelling great too. The one thing
that
sold this house for me was it has a big laundry room on the main floor.
Now, a
good one to go along with it, it has two huge laundry tubs and they never
had
been connected to the water main. That was the first thing we did and boy
do we
ever use those sinks. Why the people we bought the house from with five
kids
never did that is beyond me.

Hugs,

Nora

Ack!!! Six flights with no elevator!!!!Dear Lord!

Nope, no New Year's Eve celebrations for us. I will probably spend the day
between the couch and the computer, with an occasional foray to the chair in
front of the TV to knit. Dead boring, usually, but this year, it sounds
terrific.

Oh, no, no, no...sorry, I was using the 'six of one, half dozen of the other'

Thank heavens! Six flights, I'd drop dead!

Exactly what I plan, too. Good, hope you have a nice, cosy evening. And
everyone else recovering from that nasty stuff, too. Everyone - get better
soon!
