    Fireplace

    What's a nice way to tell guests not to mess with the wood burning fireplace in the guest common room? As in, only the innkeepers are permitted to run it, period.

    ghosts again

    We just had the second guest in 6 months stay and mention paranormal experiences in one of our rooms. I think we have squirrels under foot. Anyway, the experiences haven't been negative, the first was a female guest who said the ghost of a young child and her dog stayed in her room all night...

    Gift cards

    Oh joy! Economic downturn and bedandbreakfast.com so kindly decides to raise their commissions 5%. Opinions?

    Mulberry Jelly

    Anyone ever make this? I have two trees and need a tip for getting the juice out easily. Anyone have any good mulberry recipes? I tried cobbler, everyone hated it, too mealy, seeds and stems. It's shame the flavor of the berries is very good, but the texture, not so good... Thanks!

    Are you out of your mind?
