Man live in servants. I miss the gilded age as well.
Last year I spent some time with Leigh at her parent's home. They have a few servants. A cook, some cleaning staff, gardener, etc. And it was such a painfully awkward experience for me. The idea that someone was being paid to clean up after me made me deeply uncomfortable.
I had this every time I went to visit my folks in Rwanda. they find it uncomfortable as well, but they didn't really have a choice in the matter.

4/21 is too late. Smoke weed on 4/19 so you can say you were smoking weed before it was mainstream.
Or, you know, just don't.
That's the route I've been taking for the last five years or so...

You guys should get together and compare the "XXX"es you have tattoo'd on the back of your necks.
I know it's not the joke you're going for, but when I was at my dumbest point as a stupid kid in college I almost got either the hitman barcode or the triple x movie tattoo on the back of my neck.
Every time I look in the mirror and see the mortal kombat dragon on my back shoulder I just shake my head as if I'm my own parent.
I need more tattoos that don't suck to make up for that one. that's how it works right?
My co-worker's long time boyfriend is a tattoo artist and I guess one day him and a couple of the other guys at the shop got cobra kai tattoos. It sounds awesome to me, but I'm pretty sure there'd be a point where I was like... why did I do that.
I'm still glad that I'm a wuss and haven't gotten nerd life across my knuckles.

Did you stick some silverware in your pocket?
Leigh's mother likes me. I'm not eager to change that state of affairs.

As long as you have a good relationship with your live in servant, and you aren't an ass to them, it is in no way uncomfortable.
It's not like they are a slave or anything... they are just a personal assistant who manages cooking and cleaning... and get paid fairly well for it and don't have to pay rent.

Every time I fight in a dream it's always in slow motion. It really pisses me off. I never have a cool anime fight in a dream.

my parents used to have a maid come by once a few weeks or so. the house was so trashed that all she could do was like vacuum downstairs. pretty retarded really.

Cultural relic of where I grew up. Also I deeply hate borrowing money large or small.

when i was working we hired a lady to come clean every couple of weeks. having someone kind of hit the "reset" button every 2 weeks really helped up be able to keep our place nice.

My family when I was younger for a while had a lady who would come in and clean once a week mostly because both my parents were working full time. This stopped around high school though.

I feel the exact same way, even being in the office when the cleaners turn up has the same effect to the point where i feel i should just start clearing up the desks around me so i don't feel like such a lazy useless lump.
And then i wonder if that's being rude and I generally mumble something and bolt for the door.

And I think I could be more comfortable with that. But yeah full time servants isn't something I'd deal with well.

When I was growing up and my dad was a VP at Glaxo and my stepmother was a busy real estate agent and there were four kids in the home... yeah, we had someone who did the cooking and cleaning for us, and lived in a room in the house. There was nothing at all wrong with this arrangement. Julie was practically a member of the family. Just one that got paid to do our laundry, clean our house and cook our meals.
But we shared Christmas with her, thanksgiving... had a birthday cake for her... it was nice. And she was paid to do it.
As for maid service? Yeah, that shit is fucking awesome. I have used such services in the past, and it kept my place acceptable to entertain in a way that I could never manage on my own.

I just read this book recently:
Do the things on your desk betray the thoughts on your mind? Does your dining room décor carry clues to your character? Award-winning psychologist Sam Gosling has dispatched teams of scientific investigators to poke around bedrooms and offices, check out iPods, and peek at personal websites—to see what can be learned about us simply from looking at our belongings. What he has discovered is intriguing: When it comes to the most essential components of our personality—from friendliness and flexibility to openness and originality—the things we own and the way we arrange them can say more about who we are than even our most intimate conversations.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

I'd steal some of your shit just on general principle. Not enough to be useful or have any cash value, just enough to be annoying.
Like all your spoons. Or all your left socks.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
Hmm...second hand smoke high.
seriously
it's pretty funny

You know
I hate it when you swing a punch in a dream and it's hells of wimpy when it connects and does no damage at all.

or to see where I sleep

and watch me sleep
Also if they run out of spoons they just pay children with small hands

Where do you live, Vari?
No wait, don't tell me. I'm already there.
murmuring gently
misting the air with sweet perfume just before you arise
GET OUT OF MY MIND!
