Thank y'all! At the meeting with the board yesterday, the gentlemen asked us why we would want a position, at our age (they made us feel like teenagers!) when we still perhaps had so much living to do. I answered quite frankly, "At what age should we stop to smell the roses...enjoy...
I think it has a drain on the floor, GH, so perhaps a weekly power-wash will be in order. LOL
Bree, your first comment reminded me of "Little Darlings"...but yeah, your assessment of sleepover camp is probably spot on! Having been in the Navy, I had berthing duty from time to time, and I agree...
LOL, well, back in '94 when I joined the "Information Superhighway", Pig Latin seemed the clever way to go.
No staff. I'm tempted to show y'all some pics of the place, but I will wait until the end of the week to do so. It's a lot less daunting than it sounds. First, the most people on one day...
Hi, Bree...
Here's what we've gathered (keep in mind, this is based on one-sided information):
As caretakers, we are expected to feed and clean up after the 70 members (never at the same time--club sleeps 30) of the club as well as maintain the grounds which includes a marina and dry storage...
LOL Well, we all do things differently, I suppose.
We bring the eggs to room temperature, get the salted water boiling, drop the eggs in, cook for 9 minutes, then remove to an ice bath. Peel perfectly with a beautiful yellow center.
I found this site quite easily with a google search. Of course, I was looking for it, since I knew it had to exist, but you're right...curiosity killed the cat. There will be guests searching for the perfect B&B and they are likely to come across this site.
My anonymity is linked to the fact...
There are a lot of water fowl and rabbits. And I've been told the members are great tippers, running around 40%. Another opportunity for us to make $$$ is that we clean fish and boats.
Since there's fishing--and that's up the SO's alley (I fish, but for the catch...not for "fun" LOL), he can...
That's exactly how I see it. I am more of a "denmother" in this situation, I think. This is why I initially thought I might not belong on this site, but there has been a lot of valuable information that I've picked up!
The owner said it wasn't a commercial machine, so I'm going to ASSUME it's a top-loader. He said if there is a problem with it after all, they will switch it out with a commercial one.
The skill set needed for this particular position is along the lines of cooking breakfast and dinner (I had my own restaurant up 'til a month or so ago), keeping the place clean (ex-Navy here...LOL), maintaining the property (lawn-cutting, general maintenance, etc.), and just making sure the...
The first time we stayed, we did. I honestly think it was the "new girl". And I hate to say it, but she WAS trying to be accommodating, but protecting her employer as well. I sincerely hope they bring the place back up to standard because the place is just gorgeous and can shine again with...
I'm glad you said this. SO and I stayed at a LOVELY B&B in S. Louisiana before Hurricane Gustav. We couldn't wait to return. When I called to make reservations a few months ago, I specified that we needed the Queen bed suite (SO was recovering from a hospital stay) and that we wanted the one...
During our caretaker interview, we were informed that the washing machine might need replacing. This is due to the current caretakers complaining that the washing machine (replaced since Hurricane Katrina) is "eating" or ripping the sheets. Now, I am not sure about y'all, but doesn't that sound...
