[Nfb-krafters-korner] OT: Measuring liquids

Sat Jul 28 12:13:49 UTC 2012

I always say "I am not called to do laundry, sweeping, or windows."  That is 
what a husband is for, as well as all yard work and anything mechanical in 
the house or garage, plumbing problems, and anything that has to do with the 
basement or  attic. And, most of the time I do not cook either.  I always 
say "it is good to be me!"
