Lol, whatever! It seems like that USED to work as motivation BEFORE we got married. I got him to do it. You know what I did? I went and got him a six pack of beer and promised it to him along with cooked dinner when he got it painted. Is it sad that works better now than the other thing? lol.

Hmm, have you tried a stun gun? Works for my wife!

Do it yourself (Coming from a single girl). I bring in the rent a husband for things that involve plumbing, carpentry, and even painting. Then I send him away. Works for me.

Being upset about something on this thread is like getting upset because of Men's room grafitti. You shouldn't be there reading it.

Hmmm...

Six-pack of beer? Check.
Home-cooked meal? Check.

Next time, lady. Call me. I'll be right over. (Sam Adams for the beer, though).

You know I think you hit the nail on the head....for a Single person (coming from a single guy) Renting would be money saver....what a novel idea!
