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!
Congrats Hil!
Thanks!
Where is the new job?
Central Pennsylvania.
Yay Hil! Way to go!
I can open a wine bottle without a corkscrew, but usually it is more likely I will have a corkscrew with me than, say a screwdriver or knife sharpener.
Oh my God. The Old Spice guy is responding to Twitter and YouTube comments. It's hilarious!
Dana, I hired an independent contractor. I interviewed both services. I don't regret my decision--my cleaner is professional and dependable. She basically does the deep jobs I don't want to do--the bathrooms, mopping floors and sweeping the stairs, etc. She also does other jobs in rotation--like cleaning windows and ceiling fans as needed.
She's also very flexible when I need to reschedule and will bring in my mail, etc. when we're out of town.
I wonder how flexible a Merry Maids type place would be to using, say, more green or unscented cleaning products? That would be an issue for me.
