Has anyone had a problem getting their mail? It seems every other day we are not getting what we are supposed to be getting. I have the app that shows what we are supposed to get each day and get an email also showing what we are supposed to receive that day.

Looking for a helper to assist a disabled lady - take her to doctor's appointments in wheel chair when needed. Also, to clean apartment every two weeks - dust, vacumn and light mopping, clean 1 whole bath, 1/2 bath and change bed linens - takes about 2 hours.

I have some concerns about how many people are reporting. I have seen more reports that say scam. I would like to see tighter controls about scams. I know that they are out there but unless a person has actually been scammed by the person we shouldn’t say scam.

Marie's Diner

Marie's Diner Marie's Diner has great food. I first went for breakfast and ordered pancakes, it was the size if the plate, delicious and didn't have to wait long. We went again for lunch and dinner. Needless to say, we'll be going again and bringing family and friends.
