That's funny Joan, only one problem though...my wife calls me "Mr Fixit" and I stilll have to mow the lawn, do the dishes and vacuum. And she doesn't even work outside the home!

Women of your era were made of a different stock IMHO. And I mean that in the best sense of the word.

Yes my wife works too. But...............

I AM Mr. Fix-it! I can fix anything. There is practically nothing I can't do. Washer, dryer, oven, car, computer, lawn mower, anything. You name it. Well two things I don't fix, tv's or VCR's. I never shell out for someone else to fix anything, I'm too dam cheap for that.

You had an unfair division of labor. Ours is I do everything outside of the house, period. She does the inside. She never cuts grass or rakes. The only thing she really ever grumbles about is the dishes. It's an inside thing but she thinks I should do them sometimes. I say that it's not in my contract! If she says I should do them tonight there is no way I'll touch them. That would be a mistake men!! But I have been seen doing them. Usually what happens is I start them on my own with no prompting and then she comes in and says "that's nice of you (insert name), but you don't have to do those. Here let me." Hmmmmmm, am I onto something here! *evil cackle*
