What are you willing to trade-off to avoid a hated chore?

"Instead of getting manicures, I'm paying someone to mow the lawn and pull the weeds twice a month," my girl Claire, 31, said yesterday.

"I HATE mowing the lawn! My next-door-neighbor make perfect straight lines with the mower. My lines look all squiggly and sloppy."

I laughed.Today I made Claire a home nail care kit. She will get it tomorrow.

You are a very caring partner. It's wonderful when a man thinks about how to please his girlfriend. By the way, this manicure set looks lovely. I'd like one too.

My son mows the lawn...until the tractor gets repaired next month...then he can do the edging and trim😂as "The Old Poop" in "On Golden Pond" put it..."What good is having a dwarf if you you can't work them"?

I trade going out (or ordering in these days) to eat for a month to pay the accountant to do my taxes. I'm in front of a computer all week so I enjoy my yard, automotive and other chores. Feels like I'm actually working.

Still renting, debating whether to buy a condo or a home in a year. :/ I love doing gardens but I have the feeling my knees are paying a price from doing knee slammers as a cheerleader. Others that were on the squad with me have had to get replacement surgery already.....not sure in ten years time at seventy if I will have avoided it or not. Maybe pots on a patio could be more my thing....

I don't do lawns either. I live ina rental, and were I to buy a place, it wouldn't have a yard.
