 >> Washing dishes every night was done in a way similar to that.. we took

 >> (grin)
 > There would be two of us scheduled for dishwashing duty, one to wash and

 JK> When there were two of us, yes, that's how it was :) Only when my
 JK> older sisters were around though :)

True.... being the oldest, I don't know what happened once I wasn't
around any more...  ;)

 JK> But I have to ask:  did the washer or dryer ever have an emergency
 JK> that precluded finishing the task?  That's what happened over here Lol

I don't remember any time that someone got away with it.... there might
have been a bonafide emergency once in a while, but none that stand out
in memory.... :)

 >> Surgery).. the younger one eventually lost tremedous amounts of weight
 >> a few years ago with a "mushroom" died.. eek. What really sad is in
 >> talking to the older of the two she told me recently she's almost
 >> gained all of that weight back that the surgery took care of.  That is
 >> really scary to me.
 > Very scary... all the risk, and essentially none of the benefit,..  and
 > she's probably only added to the risk gaining it back as well....
 JK> Yes. Or worse.. IIRC, the surgery she had means that her intestinal
 JK> tract is very very short.   It is very intense to me.  It is downright
 JK> horrid.  She thinks she can live forever.. :(

Or doesn't much care if she isn't around....  :(

 >> Maxie's is incredible if it is a chaine though.. incredibly good
 >> seafood (well, the clam dishes were exquisite :))
 > Maxie's didn't seem to be a chain... isn't that where we went for at
 > least one Picnic...?
 JK> Yes we went there and I loved it :)  IIRC at the time I didn't think
 JK> it was a "chain restaurant".. Later upon checking it out online, it was
 JK> one though. I guess it's like any restaurant... it's as good as it's
 JK> manager :) 

Seems a bit odd, though... being that it is housed in a converted house,
not in a typical "chain" restaurant building....  Maybe there's also a
chain elsewhere that has the same name.....??
