I'd like to see half the guys here figure out traditional female responsibilities, like child rearing, meal planning, laundry and all those other tasks that most of us take for granted.

Gee Gary, work firefighter's shifts and have a working wife and you learn the above really quick.

I made glazed chicken, rice with fresh asparagus tips, a maple orange sauce, a roux and brussel sprouts for supper last night. The wife put the dishes in the box and turned it on to wash them and I fell asleep watching tv with a rye and water dribbling "dang..geezz...now I gotta pee.

My Dad never ever cooked, did laundry, or cleaned. My Mom is bedridden and he borrowed my cookbooks, started making lists, and now the dinner is cooking, he's standing in front of the tv ironing underwear and t towels. And he learned at 75. I admit he was playing sports with us when we were younger, and Mom had to to the dishes, while we played hockey on the back yard rink, or baseball in May when it warms up, or football in September when it's too cold to stand still waiting for a pitch.

You learn what you have to.....
