Whatever you do, don't mention the war!
Stop that right now! I can hear the smacking!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Whatever you do, don't mention the war!

"Yes you did - you invaded Poland!"

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I want to be an obit editor for a large national newspaper or television syndicate. There, I discovered what my next career should be.
If The Y no longer rents cheap rooms, where can a person stay when they, say, snap, quit their job and and sell all their possessions and live on the road?

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

And on a similar note, the humor-impaired 'splainers. "Actually, Enigma really *was* the name of a code."

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
My current short-term goal is to get my house clean enough for someone to come in on a regular basis and clean my house.
Anyone have opinions on using a company (like Merry Maids) vs. a person or a small company?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
With no personal experience, I would say that a company has more insurance/bonding type stuff, but with a person, they actually get what you pay, which is a plus to me.

Them, I pity because it must be terrible to live in a humorless world, but I wouldn't say I feel bad about it.
That poor German guy probably does have a sense of humor in German, and he just seems so upset!

Dana, I've used Merry Maids once a week for almost a year now. They're good for maintenance cleaning; they dust and vacuum and clean bathrooms and kitchens, and they leave rooms neat, but they don't do what I consider really thorough cleaning (like vacuuming behind furniture). I'm thinking of getting a person to come in and do a "deep clean". Or, you know, just gird my loins and do it myself.
