RE: Where's the Hired Help?

Oh man, you had me at 17lb ham! (thanks for converting it from kilos, you know our American brains get mushy when we see metric...lolol).
I have begged my wife to let me hire some help to free up some free time for her to work on art projects and such. Once, I booked it and I swear she worked me harder than anyone ever has so the house would be "ready" for the people to come clean...lolol It was absolutely spotless before the people ever showed up. There was literally nothing for them to do but look busy wiping stuff down! Well, needless to say that was the last time I tried that.
You have proposed an interesting concept with obtaining services. It really plays into my philosophy of trying to spend my money as closely to home as possible. I use local hardware stores, farmers markets, etc whenever possible, because these people are my neighbors, my family, my friends. I would absolutely love to do the same with other services as well.
Best of luck with the ham and cleaning!
This is what I think my wife would have done anyway - can't have the cleaner seeing all the mess!
And, I think more will adopt this philosophy ,especially since they or people they know will be doing side business work. Supporting friends, while getting what is needed too.
Me too and most of my friends would be similar in this regard.
Gladly supporting the inner circle economy, meaning buying from friends. Feels good. In a way, it's not so different than what the ruling classes are doing...but with public funds. I guess that makes it a bit different.
Oh yeah - the ham is huge! :D The largest we had earlier was only 6kg :)
