There was a service in Durham, North Carolina, for a while, called Wives for Women. They would do all the stuff that working people (of any gender, really) have no time for. They had a brilliant ad - "Call this number. Leave mess." I always had the vision of the junk all over my living room kind of pouring through the telephone onto THEIR living room floor! But I never lived in Durham, so I couldn't take advantage of them (**sniff**) - not that I would take advantage of a wife if I had one, of course!
