 RH>> I know, but some just seem to be worse than others. Also, some are
 RH>> cute the first time you see them but not subsequent viewings. Others
 RH>> are just plain annoying because they're aired so often in a short

 NB>> Anything that gets overly played gets annoying, even if it WAS cute
 NB>> the first time.... :)   By the second time, one starts to pick out

 RH>> Yes, used to be, you might find a coffee pot in the room if you had a
 RH>> higher priced room. Now you find the coffee pot, sometimes with tea
 RH>> bags also. But, sad to say, most of the time the coffee maker isn't in

 RH>> don't change it out for one that works.
 NB>> They probably don't even check to see if they do work or not...
 NB>> Besides, that's a job for the front desk... to fix or swop out the
 NB>> non-working items...  :)

 RH> Not neccessarily the front desk but not the maid either. There's got
