After 9 years of marriage I finally got my DH to cave and agree to the cleaning lady. Life. Saver. I am so much happier.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I finally got a good plan for keeping the place reasonably clean. Keeping in mind it's just an apartment, no kids and two people: I propose a mere 15 or 20 minute block of cleaning to my man, about once a week. Usually no restrictions on what gets cleaned by whom. Put a podcast on the speakers and 20 minutes later everything is decluttered and the surfaces are cleaned. The showers are never sparkling and dusting almost never gets done, but at least things are reasonable.
Perkins, that is a totally cute dress! Is it worth having a tailor/seamstress alter it?
An assisted living facility for people with dementia or Alzheimer's is being planned for a Minneapolis suburb. Some neighbors are protesting because they think that the patients might either harm their children or expose them to "inappropriate" behavior. [link]
Is it worth having a tailor/seamstress alter it?
Oh no. It's a costco dress. Altering it would probably cost more than the dress. I figure I can get away with it for another 5 pounds or so, and then goodwill or play here have a thing.
Okay, I'm a Gemini, so what should I be like? Or what two people should I be like?
You are: the person who happily pays to have it done. And the person who makes you realize that this is more than okay.
This has been me. I like that me.
Wow. A family in Quebec was killed when a sinkhole swallowed their house. [link]
If I have a bunch of tights that are still in the packages, giving them to Goodwill would be okay, right?
Still in packages, yes, I think so. I'm pretty sure that's something women's shelters ask for.
I would love (and yet hate) someone to pick up after me.
So exactly how I feel.
