    I'm no Yellow Socks, but....

    I have black rasperries growing in my yard. They're exquisite. I make jam from them, and I made a black raspberry sorbet that was wonderful. I can't get enough of them, and find myself rationing them for use throughout the year because I don't want to be without them!

    Bed-and-breakfast bends policy for medical emergency - INN the news 09.26.08

    That was my thought, too, Bree. Same with reading the other threads about people who prefer to just go online and complain about an experience without never having brought it to the attention of the business owners. Customer service goes both ways. What is unfortunate is that I am sure that...

    Why we don't do politics

    It's interesting that you post this. I am one of those people who gets terribly involved with politics, especially in my local community. Yesterday, in walking to the library, I saw several businesses I have considered patronizing who all had out their political signs. And because they...

    Dinners

    I don't have an inn, but I do work part-time at a local place, a small but beautiful destination spa and there are four guest rooms for overnight guests. One of the things that I've seen as a major con in this case is that planning for her is an obvious weakness. She spends WAY too much money...

    What do you do for a living?

    My husband is a remodeling carpenter, and we hate this question, as well. Mostly because every time he responds with what he does, people immediately "have work" for him to do, as well. Or, they immediately start asking him for advice about something they are doing on their own at home. It...

    My Introduction

    Thanks! I feel like I have already learned more than a book. Not to mention the wonderful cookie dough no-bake truffles that are currently chilling in my fridge. Mmmm.

    My Introduction

    I've spent a couple of hours reading through the site so far, and the bruising is one of the things I like about it. So much of the information out there is this sugar-coated ideal. I've worked in hospitality long enough to know that even though the public might have this romantic notion of...

    My Introduction

    Thanks! I will make sure to check out their site. Preliminary scrolling of the site makes my eyes hurt.

    Thank you so much! It is wonderful to hear that you think we're starting out in the right direction!

    My Introduction

    I have commented a couple of times and sort of introduced myself, but as I see this forum becoming a place I visit every day, I feel like an official hello is in order. My name is Annalise, and my husband and I (we're coming up on our one year wedding anniversary!) are aspiring innkeepers. It's...

    Pay as you go phone plans

    That's too bad. Vonage has been wonderful for us, and I've heard of Verizon (that's our local landline company where we live, as well) has been difficult about transferring numbers. I believe that Verizon actually sued Vonage over the technology about a year or so ago, so maybe that has...

    I am brand new, and have not made an intro post, but I am also passionate about the topic. My husband and I are aspiring innkeepers, and I am getting my hands on as much information as possible about the business to make sure we are making a sound decision. I, too, get frustrated with the...

    Pay as you go phone plans

    I have an AT&T Pay As You Go plan, and I use it for many of the reasons you want to use it, Bree. We have Vonage at home, so we use that, as it's only $15 a month and I get everything with it free. But when we travel, we need a way to make calls. I just have our home phone forward to our...

    Paper towels take just as much, and actually more, it's just not on the end of the user. After the trees are cut and processed, and the paper is bleached, and then dried and rolled... well then you have the electricity used for packaging, the energy consumed for shipping to a store, and the...
