Make up a checklist on your computer and hand it to her and tell her to check them off when she is done.

Hope she isn't high priced then. Of course if she can't figure out a written list, she wouldn't know if you paid her the right amount. :)

Picking up and throwing away the rain soaked, plastic wrapped River City Pulse newspapers that lay in the driveway until several have accumulated.

If I stopped it, then one of the other chores would move to the bottom of the list and not get done as frequently.

I certainly agree with you. I have spent more time trying to stop it than I have reading it. Just a recycle bucket filler.

You know, except for having to wear that little French maid's uniform . . . I don't really have one. Well, except for mopping the floors, cleaning the bathrooms and scooping the litterbox. Okay, I lied. I hate it all. I do like cleaning out the liquor cabinet though.

So, you are NOT wearing the uniform? That is an even worse vision. :-)

Good morning fluxie! Looking back over your comment history I see 674 comments, mostly harassing other people! According to the "Terms of Service", nowhere does it state stupid comments will not be tolerated. Harassment on the other hand . . . Well let's put it this way. I have a history too. We'll see who gets TOSsed first. Tah, tah for now, must be on my way!

About the only thing worse than washing the cat would be 'expressing' the dog's anal glands. I mean seriously folks, who makes this shtuff up? Anybody ever tells me I HAVE to do that, I'll just say "Yup, all taken care of." RoeDy don't go there . . . Kinda reminds me of the old joke about the fisherman who got snakebit in the nether region. When the doctor told his fishing partner over the phone how to get the poison out he turned to his friend and said "You're gonna die!"

Recommended travel to South Dakota is to go north on I-35 to Albert Lea, Minn, then take I-90 back into South Dakota?

What DIST said. No one reads those; they're a waste of advertisers money and paper. My suggestion is throw them in the parking lot of the advertisors and let them deal with them.

They end up in the sewers in my neighborhood since some people think proper disposal is throwing them in the street.

Hate cleaning that stupid jetted tub, which I never use, and the shower. I'll take a good ol' fashioned claw foot soaking tub over a jetted tub anyday.

Clubs' membership requirements are constitutionally protected, under freedom of association. There are many clubs that don't allow men to join, such as all the sororities at universities.

Cleaning out the pee and poo bucket. Got tired of $48.53 monthly water bills from the city. Now I go down to BWW and grab up all of their wetnaps to clean myself with and use the bucket for everything else. STill getting bills that are around $30

Yes, they charge you for having the meter on your property even if the house has been empty for years.

Might try the Joaquin Phoenix route.

I am trying to avoid Iowa too, between the water and the lack of personal freedoms and invasions of liberty, It is a state to avoid for the moment. http://wcfcourier.com/news/local/article_64b970a2-9624-11e0-93e5-001cc4c002e0.html

Generally I like cleaning. Even terlets are easy with the proper tools.

I detest washing Tupperware. Even worst is the free Tupperware like containers. Never seem spotless, always a little residue.

Greasy little buggers! Outlaw them!

Speaking of rain, I see fearless leader has been in Atchison and Leavenworth. He's unhappy that the river is so high and he wants to control it.

It would have to be cleaning the oven. Nobody seems to care how much stuff drips on to the bottom of the oven...until pre-heating sets off the smoke alarms.I've even tried lining the bottom with foil, so it can be removed easily. They can't stand dirty foil, but won't wipe up the floor of the oven. SMDH

Cleaning under the fridge. Don't have to do it very often, thankfully. Never can figure out how that gross mix of goo and crumbs gets ALL the way under the fridge.
