I am currently building a new block wall to replace the old one for our terraced front yard. Well, one of my sons is doing the lion's share of the work- I trashed my back years ago, so I'm using slave labor, now.At least she has stopped coming out and asking me what's for lunch or dinner when we're working.
Any many-hours gap in my posting (besides sleep time) here is attributable to home maintenance either here or at our rental. I do manage to got to my wood carving class/club on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, most weeks.

Hey another husband who does the cooking. We've come a long way, haven't we baby?
I have no problem preparing a meal if my wife is not around, and the cooking needs to get done. But when I'm under my truck with grease all over or putting up a block wall, don't come and ask what's for the current meal. I even made my mother-in-law's lunch when my wife was working. No problem- she's been serving other people for 65+ years, a little reciprocity is fine. But if my wife is home, she can make her mother's lunch. And I didn't sign up for doing her mother's laundry, and will not.

If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
