How nice it is to have a husband to come home and mow the lawn
After years of doing it myself, it's nice to pawn it off on someone who enjoys it more.

What tasks (no, not that) are you grateful to have a spouse take care of?

2. Umm... no
he really mowed the lawn when he got home from work. I already had left for work, where I'm sitting now, so what you are suggesting would not have even been possible.

3. I'll let you know.
I do things on my own and I'm better for it. I don't need to rely on people. I don't need the betrayal.

(and no, not that)

:rofl:

5. I relied on myself my entire adult life
and am perfectly capable of it. So, I don't *need* to rely on someone else. I'm just saying it's nice to have someone share the workload for a change.

But, he already has betrayed me, I guess, by mowing the lawn of the old Italian lady across the street. :P

4. Trash!!
:bounce:

I have this weird thing where I have to be able to see my feet when I'm walking down stairs, or there's a very good chance I'll not be able to tell which foot is where and thus plunge to my death. Trash was always a big sticking point with me where stairs were involved, as I'm all of 5 ft tall and most full trash bags are a good 3. But darling hedges and his lanky 6'3" ass is very willing to do it for me as long as I bellow like a walrus remind him when it needs done. :thumbsup:

6. No stairs involved
but I'll pass on that one, too.

Amazingly, he sees a full trash bag and takes it out all on his own accord.

I do think not being able to smoke in the house is part of the reason it gets done -- it provides him with an excuse to go out and light one.

I'm glad you have someone to help, too. I would have to see you die on a heap of garbage. What an unceremonious end.
