We called Shirey handyman service to hang a light fixture. They wouldn't quote a price over the phone. When the handyman arrived, he asked how high the ceilings were then looked up the price in a book - nearly $300 to hang a light! I said it was too expensive so he charged me the $50 appearance fee, which is a total rip-off! I'm sure he, or whoever answered the phone, had that same book in front of them before I scheduled the appt. They withheld the price so he'd have to come out and be sure to get $50!

When you've just got to have a sitter, call Best Sitters. I am sure I am one of their worst customers - forever calling at the last minute (at least once, quite literally) because I forgot we had an event or because I thought I could get away on the 'cheap' with a neighborhood kid who later bailed on me. Best Sitters has not ever let me down. They are always able to find me somebody and I nearly always like who they send.
I feel they're pricey (hourly fee, 4-hr minimum, plus agency fee & I always give the sitter a tip too) but worthwhile headache prevention and they serve most of the Seattle metro area, including the eastside.
Ideally, I suggest making a list of preferred sitters (once you get to know some of them) and call early enough to request them specifically. At a minimum, it's imperative to call way in advance for Valentine's Day and Holiday Party nights out as these are their busiest times of the year.
In any case, it sure beats calling ten teenagers hoping that you'll find just one who doesn't have a date, a football game to attend, or a curfew too early to suit your needs.

Some co-workers talked me into going to Issaquah for lunch to try some BBQ place. Unfortunately when we got there, we discovered that said place was no longer in business. Since we were already in Issaquah, we decided to try something else. I lost the vote, and we ended up at XXX.
First strike, the place smells terrible. Second strike, the food is expensive. Third strike, the food doesn't taste very good. I wont be returning to this dive.
Giddy-up.
