The only upside I can find here is that my cpap forces me to sleep with my mouth closed, hence I am not eating as many spiders in my sleep as the average person.

I said. "Cleaning LADY? My wife told me that's what <B><I>husbands</I></B> are for!"<BR/><BR/>I really like the language of "citizens of the household." That describes the way we do things. My wife cooks, cleans, does dishes. I say "Thanks," because I'm (more or less) civilized. I cook, clean, do dishes. My wife say "Thanks," because she's (more or less) civilized. Whoever does whatever is just part of looking after the house, and each other.
