“Dear PoPville,
Well, here’s a new one! Today around 3:20pm on Capitol Hill a disgruntled Little Free Library patron was apparently fed up with our disappointing selection and decided to leave us a note to let us know. Curious if anyone else has received such a message.
I have so many questions for this person. Did he come by with the intention to leave this note or was it a spur of the moment decision based on our current inventory? Was this note meant for us specifically or all patrons who take and leave books? Shall we institute a survey to find out what kind of books he’d like to see in the future and then ask people to knock on our door to make sure their books pass muster before dropping them off? Was the item on which he wrote this message (a wooden Halloween ghost, I believe?) something he brought along with him and what significance does it have? He took a photo; has he posted it somewhere? Some sort of LFB hate group, perhaps?
WTF? I can’t stop laughing at the absurdity of it all.”

Finding a gift for moms can be difficult. Google “Mother’s Day gifts,” and you’ll scroll through endless lists of beauty products, candles and fuzzy robes. Sure, those are sweet, but sometimes it’s fun to surprise loved ones with something a little more, well, practical!
Here’s one idea: Give her a gift certificate for a home cleaning from Well-Paid Maids. It’s the perfect “thank you,” “I love you” or “you’ve got this” for any mom. She can schedule the home cleaning at her convenience and breathe easy knowing she has one less thing to do.
Our cleaners will take care of everything, including vacuuming and mopping as well as cleaning and dusting countertops, tables, mirrors, appliances and more. Sinks, toilets, showers and appliance exteriors also get a good scrub.
