"Beds cannot be made if persons are still in them..." Don't underestimate my tyrannical capabilities, Launderess! :) :)

:I would be terribly offended if they did!" Don't be, Gansky! Like I mentioned before, a lot of this is probably big-city specific, and folks can be unbelievably TWITCHY here...:)

"Those are great suggestions, but if I did all that, I probably wouldn't have any need for a house cleaner! ;-) " Not at all, though, although it seems daunting. You really do work it all out during the first two sessions! When I did this work, I began to be referred to a circle of doctors...

Do a critical check of your home environment and make the same changes to your SOP, the same way you would if complete strangers suddenly traipsed through your home every week. Place credit card statements, bank statements, mail, jewelry, small expensive electronics, etc., inside drawers or...

Congrats, Jason! I wish you much luck in your new position... I've been unemployed a few times and it rocked me to my foundations more than I let on, because of the insecurity and the fact that every little unpredictable expense seemed like an insurmountable hurdle....I still buy toilet paper...

You also might want to check out the cost of the bags and consider their size if you consider one particular model and it's likely you'll change bags frequently because of pet hair. I'm not saying this to push bagless....if you are grossed out by emtying open bins of dust (for some reason, I am...

"I'm glad Spitzer was nailed. I spend a lot of time bagging on hypocrite right-wingers, and I'm certainly not going to back off just because this guy happened to play on my team." I agree, frig, but the truth is, he never really was on our team and he wasn't the type to have our interests, or...

"After 42 years on this planet, seeing what I have seen in both major political parties in the United States, I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that both parties care about their party's power, and the ever increasing power of the state. They care not at all for individual liberties, the...

Panthera, where do I go to get my tinfoil hat back?? "Your and Laundress' perspective that this was not a Republican guided plot is interesting. I am listening, but have to admit...after the last seven years and all the knee-jerk nastiness from the right, my first assumption is always: It's a...

If they are still available and bagless is desired, I have a Kenmore Iridium canister that I'd highly recommend. Unlike most Kenmore canisters that have been made by Panasonic, this one is made by LG in South Korea, but I've had no problems so far and it has exceeded my expectations. I agree...

"Yeah and the desire to play without a condom. Now THAT is pompous, arrogant, risky, stupid and COMPLETELY disrespectful to all parties invoved, including the spouse." Yep, but I hear of such tales CONSTANTLY, and with little regard to the risks involved, and little sense of accountability or...

"What is simply boils down to is public perception; you cannot have the highest man in New York State, arranging meetings with escorts, no matter who is paying." Thank you. We can do better than this. There is also the little matter of how much these little bacchanals cost...the Mayflower...

"With all the problems the US faces, I wonder if this is really worth wasting time on." Panthera, this is the exact same rationale I recall hearing when impeachment was taken "off the table", and for all that "reaching across the aisle, for the good of the nation" that did us, it appears that...

This is not about Republican or Democrat, gay or straight, Bush or Obama, Europe vs America, Catholic or Protestant, or any other false dichotomy projected onto the situation by those of us who should know better. It's not about the sex itself. I myself have paid for sex, hung about the salt...

The Altima is a pretty good, reliable car. I like the styling of the Maxima better than the Accord or the Camry, too. I'm very opposed to globalization, GATT, NAFTA, the North American Union, the Amero, etc., but I also realize I have to live in the here and now. I bought a Dyson DC07 a few...

"As to "Kirkman's Castile" - I think you meant "Kirk's Castile"." Yep...that's the one! I got my "Kirk's" mixed up, lol! Thanks, Angus.

They sold in our supermarkets until a few years ago. It was a competitor to Colgate-Palmolive's "Octagon". The stores seem to have replaced it with "Fels Naptha", which is the standard for laundry bars here, along with my fave, Octagon, and the Mexican bar "Zote". There is a discount...

VF, I would steer clear of the Alero. He fell in love with its looks and styling as well, but I watched his hair turn snow-white over the ten months he had it, before, in total exasperation, he swapped it out and "went Japanese"... Of the cars you mentioned, the Honda Accord seems to be the...

"In and of itself, that could ruin his chance." Who knows? McCain MIGHT be able to woo reluctant conservatives back if he chooses his running mate wisely.

Bob, you've lost it! You're experiencing Ku-withdrawals! :)
