Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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.

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!

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.

Trust my rage

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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

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)
