Hear! Hear! I agree, there should be support groups for those who can't put dirty dishes in the dishwasher. Why have one if it isn't cleaning the dishes?
Hopefully everyone who visits is there to see you and not critique your lifestyle. (Maxine is a role model).

It sounds like a wonderful way to live, glad to hear you are living as you want. I don't even understand the concept of cleaning, it just gets dirty again. I am going to borrow your chore categorizing, I think it will work well for me also.
Maxine is my hero. She doesn't worry and she tells it like it is. You go girl!

I understand the concept of cooking and cleaning,
just not as it applies to me.
I read recipes the same way I read science fiction -
I get to the end and think ........
Well, that's not gonna happen!
I find it helps to categorize my chores:
Things I won't do now.
Things I won't do later.
Things I'll never do.
There should be support groups for women who can't put their dishes in the dishwasher dirty.
Maxine taught me this lifestyle and I thank her for it! :mrgreen:

Lands, ladies, I'm delighted that so many of you agree, live like I do, or long to, want to be my BFF, and think I've got life figured out......not that I'd really care if you didn't agree, you understand :? :-D
Living this way rather does create an immunity to 'what others think'; it's really a time saver not having to spend sewing/reading/computing/napping time worrying about that.8-)
Oh, Marmalade, yes, go for it on your 'frig.
