My friend A had a little boy today, one week early I think. Now, I am just waiting on one more cousin who is also due any day now.
Yay, smonster!
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
YAY for smonster's repopulated intestinal tract!
I am a strange person.

My cleaning ladies charge $20/hour. It's normally about 5.5 hours every two weeks ($108-120) but they provide a detailed list of what they do.

I want your cleaning ladies, Stephanie. I let Merry Maids go after they used bleach (which I requested they not do) and ruined a rug splashing it.

Apparently I should just post a resolution to take action on something, and then it will get better.
Pretty sure that's Romney's economic policy, actually...
We pay our housekeeper by the hour. She comes once a month for 3 hours. A couple of times its been a bigger gap and she's said "let's add half an hour" once she got here. She only does the common areas.

We're actually replacing Molly Maids with a cleaning person/part-time nanny who will be charging $20/hour. We really won't need the nanny aspect until the newbie arrives.

How does one go about choosing a cleaning service? I mean, besides randomly picking one out of the phone book, which is what I did. I don't know anyone around here who uses a service, so I can't get local recs.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Zen, check Yelp? Or Angie's List, but I think you have to pay. BTW, don't need a call tomorrow.
Love you too, Strix. Hope things are going better for you lately.

Yeah, I looked at Yelp and Angie's List. I keep thinking I need to switch services--I use a green service, which I'm not fixated on, but like in theory. But it's $125 for once a month, plus I tip. Should I not tip? I was surprised to see people saying elsewhere that they didn't. I figured if you work for a service you don't make nearly as much, so I give her $20 every time (we mostly have the same lady, though a few times someone else)
