Only a few things make me miss having a man around the house...

[BarenakedLady]

Besides the obvious, of course.

I was reminded of one of them just now mowing my lawn after two weeks of slacking. I feel like throwing up from the exertion. However, I also was reminded of the fact that I'm fully capable of doing shit for myself thankyouverymuch! :)

One of the others is shoveling the driveway, but I'll worry about that again next winter.

I also have to go by a car...damn it!

:hi:

[HopeHoops]

1. Yeah, I was just going to ask about "the obvious".

[BarenakedLady]

3. Are you implying

that the obvious is not obvious?

O8)

[HopeHoops]

5. I used to say I have a two-track mind: beer and food.

When someone inevitably asked about sex, I would respond, "that falls under food".

[Wapsie B]

2. The obvious? You mean you miss having empty beer cans and dirty underwear

strewn around the house?







:P

[BarenakedLady]

4. Still have those!

*cheers*

:toast:

[dana_b]

6. bugs

I know have to deal with getting bugs (usually spiders) out of the house. yuck.

A clogged shower or even changing a tire - sigh....

However I went to visit my ex yesterday and guess what?! I'd rather deal with the spiders or clogged shower on my own. lol
He's not a bad guy, we just aren't meant to be together.

[BarenakedLady]

8. Meh, bugs I don't mind

My ex wasn't very handy anyway, so I did most of the unclogging and fixing.

He's not a bad guy either. I know what you are saying.

[seabeyond]

15. yup. i would chase them around spraying the damn raid. and then could watch them

wither and die.... eeeew.

or put a glass over them and wait for father or brothers or friends to come over, lol lol

[Sky Masterson]

7. We are are also great for carrying stuff

and passing out drunk on your couch :D :hi: :hug: :loveya:

[BarenakedLady]

9. Heh!

I do have some boxes that need to be moved, I forgot about that. Time to call Rent-A-Dude! :)

[seabeyond]

32. rent a dude right here.... rentboy.com. go for it. lol. nt

[BarenakedLady]

34. Something tells me

That I probably shouldn't type that into my address bar. heh.

[dawg]

10. We're good for having sex with!

The "obvious" is opening jars, right?

[BarenakedLady]

11. Of course

Those damn pickle jars are a bitch to open.

[seabeyond]

16. bah hahahah, that was funny. nt

[ellaydubya]

18. Opening jars and hanging pictures!!!

These two things come close to making me go totally berserk!!!

[Fire Walk With Me]

12. Only a few things make me miss having a BareNakedLady around the house...

Well, everything :cry:

[BarenakedLady]

26. Awwww

:pals:

[snooper2]

13. where do you have to go by a car

you can't go by a bus, train or plane :)

[BarenakedLady]

27. Smartass!

;)

[seabeyond]

14. i never understood the shoveling the driveway. i lived alone forever and never shoveled

the sun eventually melted it. lol

hubby shovels. i help him sometimes..... but

though it makes it a tad easier, not easier enough to encourage shoveling on my own

[Roon]

17. Here in Denver, if you don't shovel within 24 hours after the snow stops falling

you can end up with a hefty fine! They even have hotlines so you can narc off your neighbor for not shoveling.

[seabeyond]

20. really? in the driveway? no way. geez. really? wow

why

what business is it of anyone. i get a sidewalk which we dont do. it is huge and goes forever, and no fuckin way. but i would never guess a driveway

hm

interesting

thanks roon

[Roon]

22. OK..I misread your post...

Damn! :crazy:

[seabeyond]

23. lol. so really you dont have to shovel out the driveway

just to be clear. cause i had a tough time with that one. lol

funny

[BarenakedLady]

28. I wish the snow would melt it!

But winters here rarely see sun. I get stuck up my tiny driveway if I leave it too long.

I'm tempted to bite the bullet and hire someone next year.

[HipChick]

19. the only thing I miss..

is having a man that can cook and clean - isn't that all they are good for?

I can fix my own car, install light fixtures, do my own rewiring..install laminate floorings...you name it, I've done it...AA batteries will take care of anything else lacking..:rofl:

[BarenakedLady]

29. LOL!

:rofl:

[BlancheSplanchnik]

41. zuccinis take batteries?

wow.





Must be Monsanto.




:D

[dawg]

42. You're making me feel bad.

I would like to think it would take wall current to replace me! Or at least D or C batteries. :evilgrin:

[Skittles]

21. I'VE HAD IT WITH MEN

LIKED IT TOO :7

[seabeyond]

24. why all this past tense skittle, wink. nt

[BarenakedLady]

30. ME TOO!

:D

:thumbsup:

[Xipe Totec]

25. Remind me, which is the obvious one?

I forget...

:evilgrin:

[BarenakedLady]

31. I'm not sure exactly

I vaguely remember something involving trains and tunnels or exploding volcanos...but maybe that was just something I saw on tv.

[Gormy Cuss]

37. Testing the toilet seat hinge.

With no men around it's only tested on cleaning day.
:P

[Love Bug]

33. Other than the obvious "companionship" they are handy

for killing bugs and opening pickle jars! Handyman stuff and yardwork, too.

[BarenakedLady]

35. That wasn't the case

before...HA!

I did most of that myself. :)

[sammytko]

36. i just make sure I have enough money to pay someone to do those things nt

[BarenakedLady]

43. I need a raise

:)

[Swede]

38. "If they don't find you handsome,be sure they find you handy"

[BarenakedLady]

44. Heehee

That show cracks me up.

[sammytko]

47. Exactly!

I couldn't believe how many young men don't know how to do things around the house. If I ever get hitched again, will have to be for money or cuz the guy is a master electrician, plumber, carpenter, landscaper and mechanic rolled into one.

I myself am a great cook, terrific housekeeper and excellent with finances.

[MorningGlow]

39. Feh.

I have one around the house. I still do everything anyway. Seriously--I do. Mowing and all other yardwork included. And moving boxes. And painting the house. And everything else.

Hey, BNL--good to see you! :hi:

[BarenakedLady]

45. Hi there!

Hope all is well your way.

:hi:

Finally starting to feel like its warming up...

Watch it snow next week. Ha!

[JitterbugPerfume]

40. Believe me. Barenakedlady,

After a while you will wonder why you ever thought you needed a man around the house, especially one who is not especially "handy"

I have lived alone for 13 years ( this time) and I would not change it for anything, I do not share my computer , tv or stereo .

I eat when I am hungry , go to bed when I want to , and get up the same way. Some days I read all day long and don't cook one morsel of food.

Mowing , shovelling snow, repairs etc continues to be a pain in the ass but we learn to cope.

It helps to have sons. They come in real handy for things like fixing faucets shovelling stuff.

[BarenakedLady]

46. My son is 10

I should really start teaching him how to run the mower! LOL.

I hear you about the rest. Though my kids are still at the end of the needy ages, so when I have them, I have to share...and cook, etc. Heh.

I should start saving up for a snow blower!
