Nashville Noah:

The Everything man!!
  7:42pm
Parq:

Well now, I have successfully avoided most of the chores I hated as a kid by choosing life in an apartment instead of a house. I still have to put up with washing the dishes (we boast no dishwasher), bathing the dog (the one who is too chicken for the groomer), and dusting all the knicknacks. But the chore I hate the most is my weekday morning routine; the daily treadmill, timed to the minute, where every yield to a "five minutes more" impulse makes me that much later for work. Oh, how I've come to loathe 7:30 AM.
  7:43pm
Parq:

Now, speaking of washing the dishes, 'scuse me.
  7:43pm
7:30AM:

Feeling's mutual, babe! :-P

Cleaning plastic uh -- what do you call them? - blender bowls/troughs. I need to find me some glass versions, I think.

Sooper dooper! Funniest scene in movie history??!!
  7:52pm
trishh:

In keeping with the music au courant,

"what knockers!"
  7:52pm
Nashville Noah:

As a kid I hated the chore of raking leaves, so I wanted to cut all the trees down and pave over our whole yard.
Avatar 7:53pm
monica:

  8:09pm
Jay Bee:

I'm a new transplantset from Texas, so it seems shoveling snow is a universally hated chore. Although I still am trying to not enjoy it so much.
  8:09pm
G:

You'll get annoyed with it after the first 6-inch-plus snowfall.
  8:09pm
