The one weird aspect of the AirBnB I stayed at is that the owners seem to be millennials, who have made top sheets obsolete. The bed just had a comforter and a fitted sheet.

The dentist grabbed the chart and said “ah yes...I see the notes that. This was a temporary fuxabd the tooth needed a root canal and crown...it should have been dines years ago...you got five years out of that temporary well done!”



Yikes!  Does "fuxabd" have a meaning similar to what it looks like, or was that a typo?

OMG!

Is that an environmental thing? 

At the hotel I was at recently, they offered 250 extra points for every day forgoing cleaning the room, which was cool since I was there 6 nights and really didn't need housekeeping every day, except to get the coffee stuff refilled.

But they said there's an environmental benefit too, which seems logical if you don't need new towels and sheets every day and they can save on water and soap.

And with the talk of the My Sharona virus or whatnot since the name had not taken hold yet, and noticing housekeeping doesn't seem to wash their hands between rooms...

No. It’s a lifestyle thing. They just don’t use top sheets.

I chose the environmental benefit and the points on a number of the nights but just asked for coffee supplies to be refilled

I made it to the airport. Despite the best efforts of Lyft and the Muni transit system.

Yay.  Safe & easy travels home.

Offering points was nice.  Usually there is something to leave on the bed if you want your sheets changed.

Also, the wonderful and truly faaaaabulous couple in the room next door for a number of days were delightful to talk to, but something about what was left out in the hall from room service suggested that there was a lot of whoopee being made in that room (it was straight whoopee, so not that there's anything wrong with that of course, as Seinfeld used to say)

$500,000,000 split between 327,000,000 people = $1.53 per person, not $1 million per person.

Multiple people keep stating this fact to a fb friend and she keeps telling everyone they are doing the math wrong ;D

and with the sheets and stuff from their youthful love being handled by Housekeeping, with no hand washing before Housekeeping would enter my room and hit my sheets so to speak,  as their room would have been cleaned just before mine,

I figured why not be safe and pass on Housekeeping and tidy up myself while the neighbors are clearly in their room being like any late-20s-something couple who were so lovey-dovey in the hall and leaving champagne bottles from room service for cleaning - meaning to use a euphemism, they were very likely screwing like jackrabbits given how romantic they always were,

and since we still really didn't know how easy it was to catch the virus, which was said to be transmitted on cruises from the same buffet

The points are a lovely incentive.  They gave a little tag to hang on the door,

At a Westin in Tampa, they said any towels you leave on the bathroom floor will be replaced, any not on the floor will not be replaced.  But no points incentive.,

Here’s a story on it.

It makes me think of The King and I, "Mischief Maker Top Sheet." (instead of Topsy)

Of course, e now know , that it's safe if you're under 60, but if you're over 60, don't even shake hands with anyone.

I'm wondering if there really will be inventive masks for Purim. 

Maybe concerns about Hamantashen particles escaping

I hope the market is monitoring the Hamantashen shortage issue,  The supply they have does not seem like enough to last until Tuesday.
