On Fri, 11 Jun 1999, David Sawyer trolled a questions in front of the
porch:

> I was wondering how much others get their SWMBOs involved in the work?

Dave you surely have a gift for trolling! Since many others are weighing
in here (I always thought that side of the porch listed a little. Hey
O'Deen whatcha doing over there with that extra order of bug gook?) I
figured it was time for my $0.02 worth.

My SWMBO (admitedly the best one there is) and I have a great division of
labor. She paints...wallpapers...mows the lawn...weedeats it too...trims
the trees and plants the flowers! I on the other hand spend my all too
precious time in the shop cogitating on which tool I need next OR if the
time is really short...working on a project of designing one. If the need
is present for another oldtool I immediately call her in for consultation.
If the tool in question is deemed an urgently needed one, then she
instantly drops what she's doing and heads to the fleamarket...antique
mall or garage sale to see if she can find it for me. Occasionally I have
had to wait until the next day for the tool to appear.

Once she had to stop and feed the dogs and make dinner before she could
leave to look for the tools. But I didn't get upset as I was multi-tasking
at the time and waiting for the large panel to finish drying from the
glueup.

So David I believe you will find a resounding YES! is the answer to your
SWMBO involvement quesiton and good luck!!!
