cholla Posted October 23, 2006 CID Share Posted October 23, 2006 I'm kind of like Roco (again) except I do like to cook.But count the great chefs mostly men too.So I'm not alone there.Being single also I have a sewing machine.I'm not very good at it but it beats the heck out of doing it by hand. But let Roco know how many of you married guys "put their feet up with a Beer and watch TV ' While the wife does all the girly things like cleaning the house. Even being single I've got into trouble telling a woman "I guess men aren't suposed to do dishes because I can't usually find any extra large latex dish washing gloves.btw I do a lot of dishes since I cook so don't go there like I don't wash dishes because I'm a man.

water Posted October 23, 2006 Author CID Share Posted October 23, 2006 I love girly things, *settle down at the back guys* , and I like giving my old sewing machine a spin from time to time, I don't like washing and ironing , food shopping, cooking, house work in general, but then I am single so I have to get on with it , unlike you married guys , who can put their feet up with a Beer and watch TV You go ahead and joint the sewing group Roco, I'll just sit here with my beer and watch the football game LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted October 24, 2006 CID Share Posted October 24, 2006 Roco, have you ever heard of a honey do list Well I don't have one, I make mine myself. And if it is daylight and nice weather I will be getting mine done. Raking leaves, mowing, picking (several types of apples, pears, cherries), and in general home repair (new roof, clean out the drain, paint the house, clean out the gutters, etc... Now when was I supposed to put my feet up The cooking OK. The laundry when she gets around to it. As far as surviving on my own, "mom" insisted we at least be able to care for ourselves. A wife should not be a requirement for a normal life. I can do the rest if I so desire. But if I am married she might as well have something to do.

tommie gorman Posted October 24, 2006 CID Share Posted October 24, 2006 Well let's see what we can do to clarify this "Honey Do List" for you Roco. Thanks, SR. I just wanted to be sure if I was right in assuming the obvious meaning, but had no luck with any dictionary. Thanks for the clarification. What does the phrase "honey-do list" imply? It means a list of things that a husband or wife wants their spouse to do. Honey (term of endearment)do this and then do this... 'Honey', as a term for a spouse or partner, is virtually unknown/unused in the UK and, I suspect, many other parts of the English speaking world. It's overwhelmingly US; I'm unsure about Canada. The term "honey-do" is actually a pun on the honeydew melon which is very popular in the US. http://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/28/messages/991.html Very American indeed. Still want to come over ' Sounds like water is looking for a slave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dliw Posted October 24, 2006 CID Share Posted October 24, 2006 I believe I have not formally met you here so, welcome to the forum dliw I like your avatar. Thank you for the welcome. As time permits I am trying to become more active on the boards I have joined. I visit here every morning for a speed test. Most accurate on the net. My avatar was made by a friend on a now defunct site and I use variations of it everywhere. It has special meaning to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
