And didn't you also make the comment "some might even call me a bleeding heart," or words to that effect, on your profile page? It stuck in my mind.

If I am wrong I'll apologize right here for saying so.

No sir/mam...never referred to myself as a bleeding heart. That phrase is used by others.

You know...those posters with blinders that refuse to read opinions that contradict their delusions. Or can't stomach responses to their own ignorance.

And to best of my recollection, you've never done that to me. ;^)

May I share a story with you?

A couple of weeks ago, I found a flyer...grammatically correct...in my mailbox, advertising cleaning services.

My girlfriend asked if we could call the lady to assist her in doing a deep cleaning on the house...since it's too much for one person to clean to our satisfaction.

She came to give us a price...a Hispanic lady in her 30's. She wanted $80.00.

My girlfriend hired her and together, they did a fabulous job...over 5,500 sq. ft. finished.

I needed to have one of my new listings professionally cleaned and after playing phone tag with my primary cleaning service this past weekend, decided to ask Christina if she wanted the job that had to be completed by yesterday.

She said she would be glad to do it...I asked her how much...she said eighty dollars ($80).

I told her I would give her what I normally pay...two hundred fifty dollars to clean every square inch of a 3 level home...about 1800 sq. ft.

Her eyes welled up with tears.

What a country, huh?

Now...just what law did I break?
