  1. Don’t think so Arkady- she lives in Brooklyn and was to call me this morning. Considering I am doing a perfect stranger a huge favor, I’m not thrilled. Don’t you think if it were that imperative she would have called me long ago?

  2. bxgrl – That’s horrendous! Sounds as if your friend must work as scheduler for Time/Warner cable or Nat’l Grid. appts. Awful to think you should shaft her since then what happens to the kitties. But you’ve already done so much, maybe just wait it out & you’ll find out she’s been stuck in a subway or something & couldn’t get cell service.

  3. So- I offered to help out a friend of a friend who moved into a new place and found out the day she moved the new place might have bedbugs. She has two cats who can’t be in the apartment for 2 weeks because of the spray they use and I -stup[id me0 offer to help her out. Now this entail raarranging my place to bring up the huge cat cage, caring for them while trying to not have my cats freak out. we emailed, I gave her my phone number, she said she would call in the morning to talk over details. Zilch. Nada. I called and left a message at 11:30 or so asking her to met me know what’s up. Nothing yet and it is now 5:30.

    So I’ve waited around the entire day, rearranged my place and this person can’t give me the courtesy of a call this morning? What to do? and the cats have to be bathed for bedbugs too- which I told her had to be done before they get here. So what should I do? I am royally annoyed.

  4. Rob–

    On the floors, if you just want to spiff them up a bit, there’s a great product called Minwax Floor Reviver that you can get at the hardware store for $10 or so, and you put it on with a sponge mop. It won’t take out scratches, but it will give the floor a nice sheen and protect it. I would wash the floor first really well and get off any scuffs with fine steel wool and then put on the finish. It lasts for three months or more and is very easy to do.

  5. rob – i never installed my a/c bc the apt has been pretty cool. you’re welcome to borrow mine for the remainder of the summer. pickup is in carroll gardens. it’s 8000btu i think, so good for keeping a room nice and cool.
