Next topic: laundry. The horror. The utter failure to understand the importance of Separation of Colors. I must protest Janice. Our failure to separate colors is actually a political statement. Have you never heard of AparTIDE? purething

Janice, Mercy, yes! And have you ever looked inside of one of THEIR ice boxes?! There's usually umpteen cartons of Chinese takeout, of varying ages, many growing penicillin, about seven nearly empty bottles of salad dressing, an assortment of strange and weird condiments that I'VE never seen the likes of in ANY supermarket, some beer, and various unidentifiable blobs of unwrapped blobs of what may have once been foodstuffs. With regard to laundry, they all seem to have this natural aversion to doing laundry. The bloom of romance pales considerably as you come to realize that your main attraction may not be your great beauty or your warm and winning personality, but your washer and dryer and lots of spare hangers. They gaze at you in the utter amazement that would be reserved for the sighting of a space alien, as you separate the whites from the coloreds and the towels from the shirts and socks. It is, without doubt, a totally foreign concept to the poor dears. Holly

Janice, And while I'm thinking of it, you don't dare send them alone to the grocery store--even with a list! They won't come back until hours later with heaven knows what. They cannot be trusted to select produce properly. Oh yeah, and no matter how tidy and neat the seem to be, they never clean in the corners. NEVER! However, I must sheepishly recall one remarkable exception to this phenomenon. He DID clean in the corners. He was also an excellent cook, and his ice box sparkled. It contained normal and readily recognizable foodstuffs. He had absolutely no interest in sports on TV. He was a rare and treasured find. Holly

>>"Next topic: laundry. The horror. The utter failure to understand the importance of Separation of Colors."<< Janice, why do women believe that a little elf lives inside the dryer and is going to clean the filter for them? Why do women put their unmentionables in fish nets before throwing them in the washer? Why do women think "heavy duty washer" means 100 pound loads? Why do women enjoy loading only one side of the washer and then watch it dance across the room during the spin cycle? Why can't men wear a shirt twice if there is no visible dirt on it? Why do women tell men that "35% polyester" means they don't have to iron it? Jim
