Well yes , if Jan cooks and cleans the house plus wash clothes & works then you can do some weeding around the house. If you don't like weeding buy round up to do the trick for you.

should i have to go out and weed just because jan asked/told me That's what the neighbor kid is for! $20 and you sit in the lawn chair, "supervising", with a martuni. But don't forget to put some grass stains on your knees before Jan gets home - then she's gotta take you to dinner. It's all spelled out in "The Art of Marriage". |

you have kids in your neighborhood that are willing to do some work -- any work --in my neighborhood those days are gone forever----
no kid has ever knocked on my door and asked if he could cut my lawn for money

why should they-- they get allowences bigger then you and i ever got -- a cell phone --tv --computer and maybe a car with a gas credit card as well as a regular credit card that dad pays off
not only that but if they cut a lawn or even took out the garbage it would cut into their mall time

Pegleg, you are going to get Lou in trouble. Leave the trouble to Lenny, he does it so well!!!!! Gee, I thought it was such a win-win scenario! Jan gets the garden weeded, the kid gets the $20, Lou gets a "free" dinner! I tried the Tarzan thing with my wife... she Laughed! But she did say that I coulda been Schwarzenegger's twin... made me feel good. The "Art of Marriage".  And to think, I cut such a neat swath at the Inwood Lounge, and Cresthaven....  |

The next door neighbors have 5 kids, home schooled. He's an AF major. Great kids, but they won't take money. In Sunnyvale we had a HS teacher who did handyman work part-time (for about $60/hr), but I think he did it more to help the older folks in the area. In VA, we had quite a few neighbor kids wanting to do work around the house. But you're right, it is getting harder to find kids willing to do manual labor (but ask them for help on a computer problem...!!) |

Pegleg..................I went to Cresthaven all the time. Neat place. Took the Q-44 from Parkchester every Sunday and had a great time there. I went from about 1962 to 1964!!! I think I danced all afternoon and it was suppose to be a "tea dance"! I never had tea.

I think my favorite drink at the time was 7&7.... gee, haven't had one of those in 35 years, at least. Now, just wine (medicinal, ya know) and an occasional toast to my alma mater, a Manhattan, ritually served. |
