Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

Wow, Sony Pro Support has just about the worst and loudest hold music I've ever heard.

They really want you to give up.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Anyone have opinions on using a company (like Merry Maids) vs. a person or a small company?

I've been sketchy on the professional companies since reading Barbara Ehrenbach's Nickle and Dimed and her experiences with how they're set up.

I used a person back in Salem and she was awesome. She had insurance and bonding and whatnot (she had several cleaners in her employ)

Congrats, Hil!!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Congratulations, Hil!

WRT the video of how to open a wine bottle: My old machine here at work won't let me watch it, but it brought back memories of the time I was at a college party and didn't have a corkscrew handy. An old wino who had crashed the party took the bottle and said, "I can take care of that." Shoved in the cork with his thumb and handed it back to us. "You were planning on drinking it all tonight, right?"

Yes! Buy the lighthouse! It's a step toward buffista island. Or world domination. Or something!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
