If her lease is the same as mine, there isn't one - they are not allowed in Michigan. And landlords can't ding you for not cleaning at the end of the lease either.

I would still take pictures of the place to show its condition, but that's just my suspicious nature I suppose.

ION all about me, this client called our paralegal yesterday and basically hinted that she was unhappy with how I treated her. She already has a reputation for being difficult and so I highly doubt anyone in the firm will take her side. (Basically, I had two hearings back to back and she's pissed that I didn't sit down in the courthouse and discuss in detail everything that had just happened and what they need to do next. I did however, put this all in an email two days later.) Anyway, she just sent me this email being all nice and talking about how we have things to discuss. @@ It's a firm of 5 people - does she really think we don't talk to each other?

Glad it worked out, Aimee.

Ever have that kind of day? The kind where you realize that you penciled in your brows with lip liner?

Cass. That's a great reason to go the route of the javachik!

Ok. Random question that I knew the Bitches would be the best hivemind for.

Could you recommend a good Scotch? Well, ok, I should clarify that. I want it to be good but not the most expensive thing out there. I need to actually be able to afford to buy a bottle.

what's an affordable bottle to you? $40? $75? Less than that?

Oy. Decent blended? Single malt? Smokey or sweet and mild? I prefer glenlevit for single, dewar's is a decent blended, chivas for smokey blended and Laphroaig for smokey single.

Single malts I like:

Bruichladdich, Edradour, Glenmorangie, Highland Park, Isle of Jura, and Macallan

I keep Laphroig, Glenfiddich and Macallan on hand for guests. That's a lot of Scotch to have for a non-Scotch drinker, huh? Especially since I rarely have guests who request scotch. Hrmph!

Probably the $40-$50 range.
