men who had the courage to chime in here KUDOS!! we couldn't do without you
as for the spiders and snake, oh yes, I hate spiders. but I have gotten to the point where I will allow them to live outside, and DH no longer kills snakes on sight.
are we progressing? It was really funny the time we were clearing brush and the copperhead showed up. He was gone like a freight train! I didn't even have time to see him go. I had to chase it down with a shovel while he yelled instructions from 100 ft away. hmmm
as for heavy lifting, I am getting older and definitely out of shape, but thats no reason why I can't help carry a million pound piece of odd shaped furniture down 18 flights of stairs - just him and me. I have a 14 year old son -- its time he learn.....
