What is the least favorite chore you dislike to do?
I hate to peel potatoes and shuck corn!! I don't cook so my husband is always trying to get me involved.
Potatoes require the use of one of those peelers that I believe you had to go to cooking school to learn to master.
Shucking corn gets all those hairy things all over me that cling like serane wrap and won't come off!
Second to them I hate to clean the liter box! :) Pammy

    Dusting!
    I would rather clean goat pens or scrub a bath tub than dust!

    You know that tests that
    You know those tests that give 4 answers to choose from and the last one is all of the above. Well, no matter what anyone says is the worst chore, mine will be all of the above. Except dishes, I like to do dishes. The rest I only do because it needs to be done and my hubby does lots of them with me so I can't really gripe. Yes, I can, I dislike housework. But I like a clean house. What a contradiction.

    Cleaning--I love to clean!
    Well, except the trash cans.

    If I see lint on the floor, I have to pick it up. When I was going through chemo and wasn't allowed to clean, it was a real test for me to see a spot on the floor and not be able to clean it up.

    I don't cook either. I can
    I don't cook either. I can burn water. If it wasn't for my husband I would starve to death. Cleaning doesn't bother me but lately cleaning up after the cat is a real pain.

    Dog poop--I have three dogs
    and I clean up our little yard daily. When I am finished, I look over the yard with pride at a job well done. It feels so good to have a perfectly clean yard-it's like "me against them!" I hang my pooper scooper proudly on the back gate, above the clean gravel driveway (where the dogs tend to mess-ugh)and await the next poop cleaning day. :) Besides, gardening with poop smell lingering nearby is not very pleasant, thus, I am a bit motivated.

    Four dishes are my specialty
    Mac and Cheese, Lasagna, Soy Chick with Veggies, and meatless Tacos. My husband often says, "It's the same thing." So, in order for him to appreciate my hard work, I stop cooking anything and he resorts to eating bologna sandwishes. When I return to cooking, he is much more appreciative.

    Well, there's always PBJ and that requires no cooking. I have eaten PBJs all week and never tire of them.

    Oh, I almost forgot. My favorite meal of all time: tofu hotdogs with veggie baked beans served with fresh Jiffy cornbread (that makes fives dishes, but my family hates this last one so I didn't count it in my "four specialty dishes"). When I added Chardonay (sp?) to my hotdog mix my friends thought I had totally lost it!

    you,CR-I hate to dust! Just seems to take forever sometimes. That's why I don't have very many nicknacks and if I do,they are behind glass in a curio and a hutch!
