That happened to my guests once and I had suggested the restaurant to them. The husband was up all night barfing, etc. After they left I phoned the manager of the restaurant and told him. He appreciated it and was quite concerned. With his concern, I didn't feel it necessary to phone the...

Off the topic chuckle. My 7 year old granddaughter had a sleepover last night. This morning she wanted to make a paper airplane. I have a special drawer in the buffet with all kinds of paper for the grandkids. I told her that there was a tablet in the drawer that would be good for that...

I have a Moulinex (Jeannette) 244. Is this the same as a Mandoline that you are talking about?

UGH!

Holy Crow, that is a lot of water. You had such a dry summer, too, didn't you.? I grew up in Kent, (Wa.) and every year the whole bottom land flooded. We had fun playing in it though. Our Farmhouse was up the hill.

I have finally gone over to airbnb. That is the worst site to navigate start up. Put it up last Thursday and had my first guests on Friday for 3 nights. Wow, says I. I put up my airbnb price enough to cover taxes and commission, etc. I hesitated about including breakfast but glad I did...

I don't even ask or offer special diets. If they mention it to me before they come I just say I am unable to accommodate that but if they would like to bring their own food I would be happy to cook it for them. And then I offer a place that does offer. And, yes, I am a hard ass! Just not...

Good to know. Hadn't heard of that one. Thanks.

That is on the same page as the guest blowing his nose in the shower and leaving it. YUCK---disgusting.

What do you mean----you fold the toilet paper?

I notice a lot of folks on airbnb add on an additional $20 or so for housekeeping and/or $10 for extra person after the first one. Is that a possibility?

There was an interesting interview with a reporter on our national radio regarding airbnb and the "sharing economy" that airbnb seems to say is the up and coming trend and way of the future.. The reporter went on to say that the true definition of "shared economy" means trading, say, produce...

I have never said this to a guest but have wanted to. When a store clerk is cranky I just ask them "Who pissed on your corn flakes this morning or are you always this cranky?"

Wow, impressive.

This is a chuckle but not in housekeeping. I was telling a friend about a vegetarian guest I had here. He said: " I don't mind vegetarians. A little salt and pepper and they are pretty good"
