It took me about 25 years to figure ...

I must have been about 18 when I learned Neil Young's song: A Man Needs a Maid.
When I sung it I use to think it was a funny song but today I finally understand the profoundness of it.
I can no longer stand the mundane tasks of laundry, cleaning and cooking, it takes away to much of my time from the guitar.

I NEED A MAID.

Neil Young... what a wise man.

Needle and the damage done is quite straight forward, but what about world on a string?

Funnily enough, Leo, I've had the opposite experience.

Since I started doing washing up in hot soapy water my nails have become really thick, durable, hard and flexible.

So work that one out...

Maybe it's because it just co-incided with my giving up of glue and nail hardeners etc?

Mind you...I wouldn't say no to a Maid (In full French-Maid's uniform of course)...

cheers,

Ron

Thats one of the perks of living in Latin America - maids are common place. I have a lady that comes to my house every two weeks. She cleans from top to bottom, does my laundry, irons everything, basically leaves my house spotless.

She works about 8 hours and I pay her $20 USD, a little more than most maids make. I only take care of the regular cleaning, like dishes and laundry when I'm out, but I just wait for her to come back and clean up again!

actually, it could be a number of things that ruin my nails. but i blame it on washing the dishes so i can have an excuse when my girlfriend tells me to do them.

So $5 a day and she's in every day for 2 hours to prepare dinner and do all the dishes... WOW, paradise.
