Cheeses Crust Almighty!

The nanny was hospitalized for an extended period due to a self-inflicted slit throat that was assumed to have been a weak suicide attempt. I seem to remember she could not communicate for a while due to the injury and then was believed to be physically able to speak but not communicating (and the implication was that…

I'm a mother with a nanny who lived not far from the Krims when this happened, and I don't know a single mother in the neighborhood who will ever not be haunted by this. That this family has been able to move forward is a testament to the kind of strength I cannot begin to imagine.

That’s ringing a bell. Was that in a Prudie column?

Armed with a jug of Pepto and an economy-size box of Gas-X, amirite?? (SFX: rimshot)

That might be read as “no big thing if you decide to bail, just contact...” But I do think providing guests with a last-minute contact “should they need directions" is a great idea.

That general idea of tackiness is circa the original Emily Post, when civilized people were “served”, even at home.

I’m fucking terrified - just from the plot summary.

No matter what role David Schwimmer plays, it’s impossible to ever forget he’s David Schwimmer.

And you are a thoughtful person. Thank you for your kind words... so appreciated.

Sadly, this doesn’t surprise me at all. I’m close to a similar situation myself, and would recommend you speak with a lawyer ASAP if at all possible to see what you can do to proactively protect yourself. If you can’t afford one, you might enquire with your nearest Legal Aid, and/or speak to some of the people in any…
