At one time, I had a cleaning lady that would come clean my house bi-weekly. I paid extra for her to wear something revealing. Totally worth the extra $20.

Also, I pay for Pandora and YouTube. I can not stand listening to a bunch of commercials in the middle of a workout.

Amazon Music HD. It's a massive library of music and well worth the $7.99 a month or whatever it is nowadays.

Having my X5 detailed once a month. I washed it a few times but it's not really my jam.

Joekerr · 12-15-2021, 03:10 PM

Dry cleaning. Screw having to wash the dress shirts / pants and then iron all that out again.

TiMSport · 12-15-2021, 03:13 PM

Having someone tickle my feet.
Nah, just kidding.

Especially now that its a once in a month trip thanks to COVID. Pretty much only suit up for date night, weddings, and funerals.

YES!!! Back when I was a suit and tie guy, this was the only way. Small price to pay for looking great and saving time.

We had a guy, in our little corner of the internet here, a while back asking for mens feet pictures on multiple threads.

Dude.....you have no idea. She was super cute.

Story is, she worked for me as a sales person years ago. Always had the hots for her but, professionalism. Years later, we cross paths and she tells me she started a housekeeping business. I asked for her rates and she quoted me $75 for my entire house. She cleaned everything but the exterior side of the windows. After having her do it once and her being very flirty with me, I just so happen to ask if she had anyone ask her to wear skimpy outfits. She stated that no one ever had the nerve to ask, then said $20. The next time she showed up.....

RickFLM4 · 12-15-2021, 04:11 PM

Lawn care / tree and hedge trimming, mulching, house cleaning, window washing, dry cleaning, car detailing and dog baths (most of the time), among other things.

I handle lawn fertilizing, weed treatments and pest control and pool maintenance because I can’t find anyone competent to do it. I’m happy to pay for conveniences to have more time, but can’t stand paying for something that isn’t done right.

I always thought this would be a great business venture but like so many things, I have no balls to possibly lose money

If I must valet or go to a parking garage, I tip well upon arrival.

Other than when we first went into lockdown and had a hard time finding certain things in the stores, I do my own grocery shopping.

I second this. Frigging NO valet lackey knows how to park or drive DCT's. Ive seen it recently even at a tire shop I was at.

Trimming my dogs nails. I drive 45 mins for it both ways. To a sweet girl I knew when I grew up who is excellent with animals. Its worth it every single time.
It would be much more difficult to do at home, and my dremel I bought to do this broke.

X2. My detailer is trying to convince me to get a ceramic. Just a fad or legit?

There were a couple of girls advertising such a thing in a neighboring county a few years ago. From what I understand, it didn't last long. Damn dangerous situation to put yourself in as female in someone else's home. Had mine not been someone I already knew and had that kind of relationship with, it would have never happened and I would have never asked anyone else.

The market is out there for such a service, but the liability that goes along with it completely derails the notion.

Lol. I think there might be a slight misunderstanding here. My post wasn't meant to allude to me being attracted to feet. Maybe, just maybe the tickling sensation of the bottom of one's feet feels good. I dunno, that's what I.... ahem... heard at least. I also heard that the bottom of the feet somehow has a direct link to a man's north pole. Strange huh?

I thought about this as I typed. It was before she was in the picture. She can't be mad at me for my actions before. Hopefully she just sticks to the dating thread whilst stalking me.

Seriously, I think after the last bit of stalkery, I don't think she has or will do it again. Shit, she even said she was afraid to look at my facebook posts after that. From the shit I've posted in the dating thread, I wouldn't want to read that about my SO's past life before me.....and she is still around. I feel like that says something.

No misunderstanding, just a random thought after reading.

That's odd on the connect between the two. Rules for play in my bed, stay the hell away from my feet. Tickling should be banned....period. People who tickle, or attempt to tickle, other adults are the closely classified to pedophiles in my opinion.

Dammit. You are correct. This is why I get in trouble. My thinking is flawed.

But, transparency is everything. If she's curious she'll ask you about it. Depending on how you tell her the story, it'll be trouble or be fine. If you tell it with a "I miss that" tone, you're in trouble. If you don't, you're fine.

Imagine Andrew Dice Clay pacing back and forth while smoking a cigarette. This is pretty much my delivery on most topics, unless it's really serious......then imagine Joe Rogan.

The I miss my housekeeper comment was only in jest. I do miss having a clean house without doing the work, but the housekeeper herself, eh.....she was just someone who cleaned. It obviously isn't that big of a deal; if it were, she would still be cleaning it.
