No I am not talking about Britney. I am talking about asking the hubby, " Can you take out the trash please?" What was I thinking? Have I not learned my lesson. If I want him to take out the trash today, I must make an appointment at least 2 weeks in advance. How insensitive can I be to interupt his t.v watching, belly scratching, not so polite noise making time. I will be more considerate next time honey, sorry:)

Too funny! And oh so true! I remind him every Wednesday that tomorrow morning he needs to take the trash up to the curb. He forgets everytime. Now imagine me, in my stockings and high heel, lifting these nasty garbage cans into the trunk of my car ( then my car stinks for a week). He knows I have to go through this and have to go back and get redressed ( or I had to change in the first place before going out). He wears boots to work and has a pick up he can put the cans in the back of....his excuse is "Oh honey I forgot." I always say Im going to say I forgot to cook your dinner, or forgot to wash your clothes...but I never follow through. Thanks for the laugh!

One of these days we both will be strong and take a day off. At least until we get a phone call from the neighbors asking us when we will be picking our husbands up. This reminds me of, Calgon take me away:)

LOL well you are going to have to put him through his paces ,he needs t pull his little cotton socks up,and get on and help you a little.I would like to know something though,when men come home from work,they say how tired they are and what a bad day it has been,and that they need to rest,but what about we females?how has our day been?do we need to go and relax?they do often tend to be a little self centred I think.

You're funny cmathias! Next time you need the garbage to be taken out but don't want to disturb him verbally, simply tie up the garbage, pull it out the garbage can, and place it in front of him and then give him a kiss on the cheek and say, "thank you sweetie!" You know what they say............."actions speaks louder than words"

Yes, I suppose this might work but what do I do if he decides that he would rather check the trash over for a snack first? Should I let him or just simply take the trash myself? I am just kidding you. If I ever married a man that would eat out of the trash just to do it, I would definately take out the trash myself! LOL!!!

lol this really brought a smile to my face to funny i dont know what is with guys and taking out the trash , my husabnd is they same way , the funny but not so funny thing is my dad was the same way untill one winter my mom was taking out the trash like us woman always seem to have to do, well she sliped on some ice and broke her ankle really bad. we had no idea she was out there screaming in agnoy . Well thank goodness are neighbor heard her and rang the door bell. When my dad saw her ankle with the bone almost popping threw the skin. that was it for him now the trash is taken out by my dad. I always harrase my husband and tell him made i need to slip on ice. BUt it never works. Not that i really want to slip on ice, she was in alot of pain, but i say it trying to git him to do it never works.

How awful for your mom and I get the point you made about telling your husband you need to slip on ice. Your dad had a hard lesson on that one but at least your mom doesn't have to take out the trash anymore! Thanks for your response:)
