I rebember our domestic Erastmus who was with us for years (how he survived us lot of kids I don't know)
He was scared of snakes and even just pictures of them so yes we would give him pics and cut outs of snakes and watch him freak out..hahaha shame, poor thing.
When we got our fist TV and the news men came on he would not walk away while they were taking because he believed they were talking just to him, so he would greet them and wait untill they said good night before he got back to work.
Mt dad had a LP with bagpipes and our domestic would put it on while doing the house work, he loved that LP..hahaha
We would help him with his english homework and he would pay us with long stompies that he had collected from the ashtrays, yip, we smoked then already!

Then call me lazy twice, but I have a dishwasher and I have not been sorry for 1 day that I have it.  I don't leave stuff in it after it's washed.  It just saves me a load of time to get a lot of other stuff done, and so does my tumbledryer.  Also  -  now I'm not the only one who has to do the dishes after a lekker braai or kuier - I can enjoy the last nightcap or tea or coffee with everyone else, switch on the machine when everyone heads back home and when I get up in the morning all the dishes are done. 

I don't know about the glasses or salad bowls  -  mine has never gone dull in the machine, altough I have seen it happen to other people's stuff. 

Pot's & pans  -  that I still do by hand, but I have become very clever (lazy again).  I line the electric frying pan or normal pan with a double layer of tin foil, fry or bake what I want and after I've used it  -  take out the foil, throw it in the bin and put the pan back in it's place  -  no more hard labour!  I also use this trick when we go camping or on holiday. 
Life becomes harder for us when we live for others, but it also becomes richer and happier. Friendship is a sheltering tree.

To be clever enough to get a great deal of money, one must be stupid enough to want it.

Those who bring sunshine to the lives of other cannot keep it from themselves.
