Danitra Vance: [ singing ]
“I’ve been alive for a long time,
And I played the very first maid.
I cooked the buns,
Nurse the chillings,
Did the house work.
I didn’t care if I got paid.
I played the maid who made the whole world laugh.
I played the maid who sewed Ms. Scarlet’s drapery dress.
I played the maid who helped Mae West get Cary Grant.
I play the maids I played the ma-a-id,
zip-id-dee-do-da.
Fine Hollywood tradition,
I gave advice on what to do.
But now I have a more modern position.
I play the maids in prime-time, too.
I played the maid who has a hearty laugh.
I played the maid who’s pale-faced daughter tried to pass.
I was the maid who taught Shirley Temple how to dance.
I play the maids, I play the maids.
I am merry, and I play the maids.”
Lorne Michaels: [ poking his head back through the open door ] Five minutes, Danitra. Five minutes.

Really fantastic visual appeal on this site, I’d rate it 10 10.
Thanks for your tips. One thing I’ve got noticed is always that banks along with financial institutions really know the spending practices of consumers as well as understand that a lot of people max out and about their own credit cards around the breaks. They prudently take advantage of this kind of fact and then start flooding your own inbox in addition to snail-mail box by using hundreds of Zero APR credit cards offers just after the holiday season finishes. Knowing that should you be like 98 of all American open public, you’ll hop at the chance to consolidate credit debt and transfer balances to 0 apr interest rates credit cards.
This actually answered my downside, thank you!
