Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

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.

Punishingly Intricate

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.

Our wings are not tired.

I use a women's co-op that only uses green cleaning solutions. The money goes straight to the licensed and bonded cleaners. Their hourly wage is close to mine.

I was sad that the green company I tried via Groupon was not good. Even though they were pricey, I would've gladly used them.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

all I could think of was all those guys who said fishnets, even flesh toned, always made them think of sex.

They're 17, right?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
