Timelies all!
Also, new thread!
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

How many people here have read The Nanny Diaries which I'm told isn't all that far from the truth.
At any rate, how likely is it that Snooty McSnooterson is going to put her own Craigslist ad online? They have nanny agencies out there for a reason, as in not having to do any heavy lifting to actually, you know, investigate the person who is going to be taking charge of your nearest and dearest.

In my experience, the university academic world is vastly different from the world of primary and secondary teaching.

If that kid is an ungrad at Columbia, I really hope the student newspaper gets a hold of it and finds out the kid's name and then rails against the ridic.
I kind of want to apply to find out.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Now tagless for your comfort.
I think the Nanny/Assistant ad is the Project Runway lady. I suspect anyone answering that ad will be sorry they did.
I took the kids to the gym with the express purpose of working out. But when I dropped them in the childcare (they were the only kids there), I snuggled down on the pillows they have in the book corner and promptly fell asleep. The nice girls working just let me take an hour long nap while they played with the kids.

Cash, that's probably a very healthy thing for you to do. Yay nap!
