    Mrs JB and I are looking for someone to come in and help us keep our sty...er...home clean every couple of weeks. Just really floors, kitchen, bathroom, etc. No laundry or anything like that.

    My dad has someone that he pays $50 who comes out every other week but she doesn't work in our area. We'd rather go with an individual like her rather than a service like Molly Maids and we'll need someone who is in the inner loop area (we're in the Heights). Any suggestions?

    I've got one that comes out on occasion and does a good job (my mother-in-law pays). I'll ask her if she'll go into your area, although she was hesitant to take us on because of our pets. How many cats you got now?;)

    CINDY: So, what are you saying? That I'm a bad maid or some kind of a prostitute?

    JERRY: Ho, ho...ho! Hold on. Let's keep this sophisticated.

    CINDY: You know, I don't think I want to be your girlfriend or your maid.

    JERRY: So is this a breakup/quitting?

    CINDY: Yeah. Don't ever call me or hire me again.

    Cindy walks out of Jerry's apartment.

    JERRY: Oh, yeah? Well, then, we're through! And you're fired!




    Seriously though, we had a maid that did our whole house (3300 sq. ft.) for $70. I can email you her # if you want.

    We have quite a few cats, so if that is a problem... :)

    I wondered how long it would take before codell dropped a Seinfeld reference. ;) Yeah, if you don't mind sending me her number, that would be great.

    I don't have any maid info, but Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart Simpson, is about to appear on an episode of Cheers next on TV Land. Just thought you Seinfeld/Simpsons quoters would like to know. :)

    Elite Housekeeping Services

    I don't remember the lady's name.

    What they do is, an initial "heavy cleaning", which is a bit more expensive (around $120 for our house) and then follow up every two weeks with the cheaper basic cleaning.

    Our cleaning lady does the whole house (around 3600 sq ft) for $55.

    I'll get her phone number and email it to you if you want.

    I know a number of ladies who are always looking for such work. But, you seem well taken care of now. I could track down some phone numbers, but it'd take me a day or two. So, if you want me to. How's your Spanish?

    great song HayesStreet.

    "A Man Needs A Maid"

    My life is changing
    in so many ways
    I don't know who
    to trust anymore
    There's a shadow running
    thru my days
    Like a beggar going
    from door to door.

    I was thinking that
    maybe I'd get a maid
    Find a place nearby
    for her to stay.
    Just someone
    to keep my house clean,
    Fix my meals and go away.

    A maid. A man needs a maid.
    A maid.

    It's hard to make that change
    When life and love
    turns strange.
    And old.

    To give a love,
    you gotta live a love.
    To live a love,
    you gotta be "part of"
    When will I see you again?

    A while ago somewhere
    I don't know when
    I was watching
    a movie with a friend.
    I fell in love with the actress.
    She was playing a part
    that I could understand.

    A maid. A man needs a maid.
    A maid.

    When will I see you again?

    No comment, but my wife refuses to get a maid.

    Not good. :) I'm about to start taking some Spanish classes because I really want to learn. I understand quite a bit from my years playing Latin rock music, but most of that is stuff I probably couldn't repeat in polite company. :D

    I don't know what part of town you are in or if she goes there, but it never hurts to call.

    I will email number shortly.
