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

I feel kind of sorry for the German commenter who really doesn't get the joke.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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

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!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

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?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Worked for me!

Hmm. Fishnets at work: Y/N? I think I might have done it before, with a long skirt and high boots, so there was no more than a couple of inches showing. I just walked by a lady who was wearing them like normal hose, and all I could think of was all those guys who said fishnets, even flesh toned, always made them think of sex.

I'm looking at local businesses, and just found this:

It is our desire to give a classy and sheik look to homes and businesses.

No matter how well they cleaned, I wouldn't be able to hire them. I just wouldn't.

t edit And I just earwormed myself with "Midnight at the Oasis."

I love Middle Eastern decor, so I might.
