Can you spot treat with Roundup, Julie? You can use the glove-and-sock trick: wear gloves, pull a sock over the glove, wet it with Roundup and apply to the offending plant.

Clean up for the hotel staff? Fair enough, that's an alien concept to me. Just cotching on the corner is such an inherent part of the hotel experience that as long as we're not bumping into each other, I like that they're in and out like brownies.

I have a rogue device on my home network. Something keeps trying to log into my email server, fails, and then gets me locked out of my webmail IP. Five times today, but I've shut all the email clients off as soon as I think I'm clear...IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I've scanned everything for viruses, I'm clean AND IT IS STILL HAPPENING. I'm going beserk.

Ginger, I can use round up for some of it, but other spots its in too tight with the other perennials.

I always let them clean hotel rooms, except rare vacation occasions when I'm in the room or in and out all day. But I hate turndown service because I hate coming in and the tv or radio is on and I didn't leave it on. That creeps me out.

I always have them clean. And I'm that horrible person who wants clean towels every day :) To me, it's part of the perqs of being in a hotel. Although this last time, the hotel was offering Starwood points for not getting clean sheets and towels.

I'm still not sure if it was turndown service or something more bizarre that was responsible for me finding the radio blaring salsa music when I returned to my haunted hotel room at 1 a.m.

There is someone playing violin in the hotel room next to mine. Not badly, but still random.

I keep towels and sheets, but expect them to make my bed and tidy each day. I love coming back to a clean room.

Hey, meara is in LA!

I like having housekeeping come in and make the beds. I wish I had someone at home to come make the beds too. I'm fine with making my own, but I resent like hell making the kids' beds, and they almost never make them without being nagged, and there's only so many things I'm willing to nag them about.

I instinctively make the bed when I get out of it so cleaning staff doesn't really help me unless I'm somewhere long enough to need re-stocking of toilet paper and such...and since I rarely spend more than a few days in hotel I prefer to just keep the do not disturb sign out at all times and save the cleaning staff a few minutes a day. Unless there's serious filthy cleanup and clean towels are needed...I only wash mine at home every other week or so. Hey, I only dry off once i'm clean, right? How dirty are the towels gonna get? (yeah, yeah, I know, it's flawed logic but there's my brain.)
