Hey Beachmates :D We did get a dusting of snow. Of course, they closed school for it :facepalm: I guess that is why I love snow… every time it snowed when I was a kid, I didn't have to go to school. Kinda like Pavlov's dog: snow = :rickroll:! :lol:

I hope you all have a great day. I'm working again tonight (meh) then off til Sunday (yay). I just hope we don't get a bunch of patients with broken bones because they slipped on the ice (sigh).

Night :sleep:

Good afternoon Beach hunks n dolls!:)

Got some new equipment recently ... tried it out and it is a stellarly fantastic little tool. And it's also great on stairs and upholstery. I have a client whose several cats are always sicking up on one of their several cat trees, the couches and in various places on her carpeting. Folex takes almost any stain out no matter what it is or how long it's been there, but I wanted something that gets down a little deeper to remove the odor, so I got this little gem, tried it out and can give it an enthusiastic thumbs up. It works great on my couches ... turned it from a deep blue back to it's original soft aqua.:facepalm::laugh:

My steam cleaner won't extract anymore unless I put a 50lb dumbell on top of it to weight it down during the passovers, and also the little motor that works the power brushes musta burned out. It's 10+ yrs old, so I think instead of getting it repaired, I'll give it to a vacuum repair shop to use for parts and move on to something a little easier to get parts for.

I prefer Hoover over Bissell for performance and speed, so I'm headed over to Walmart right now to pick up a new Hoover MaxExtract Dual V Carpet Cleaner. Retails for $240 ... Amazon sells it for $232 BUT Walmart has a current rollback on it ... can pick it up for $109! a stellar buy! On my way out the door as soon as I get dressed and looking human.:laugh: Going over b/c I think I remember them from a coupla days ago on the shelf with the same price.:2cool:

I mentioned this in case anyone else is looking for a carpet steam cleaner ... this one actually has a heating element in it (rare for the household size) ... but has to be ordered online only through walmart.com to be delivered free to their local store.

Every single one of my clients who has a double-story has coffee dribbled all the way UP and all the way DOWN their stairs from repeatedly running downstairs to make coffee and then running back upstairs with it to drink as they get ready for work. Bad for them ... good for me.;)

Going to leave the Amazon link in case anyone is interested and wants to read the full description and customer reviews. Oh yeah, and it also has a stair/upholstery power-spin brush.

Wow, how scary, another member who loves cleaning appliances as much as I do!!! LOL!!!

Hubby offered to get me the new Dyson Pet vac for Christmas, but they are ridiculously expensive, made in the UK (I suspect Rube Goldberg is British) and have to be maintained by authorized distributors, so nixed that idea....have been keeping my eye out ever since.

Thanks for the indepth review....LOVE IT!!!

I called the work inclement hotline at 6:45 sharp to see if we were closed :laugh:

Been up ever since :?:

Just like when we were in school......hard to go back to bed on a day off! Hope you are enjoying your "free" day, Starry. I saw where some areas out east were predicted to get over a foot of snow. 8-o

It's the best I can do right now. :)

Every time I scrape it off, more comes down. Not massive amounts - just enough to be a PITA and add to the persistent mountains of it that are already there.

I ordered some sandals online a couple of nights ago...

Hey Sea, did you ever get that carpet dyed/colored and how did it work out?

    Ok, I lied. Massive amounts of snow coming down now. Radar indicates that this can't last for too long.
    PS - we will surpass 4 feet of snow (so far this winter) by the end of the week. :(

    Those pics are looking pretty dang good about right now. No warm up in sight for us....unless you call 25 degrees a warm up! But I guess complaining about the weather is not going to do any good. I need to MOVE. But then I would have poverty to complain about since this is where the paycheck is. :(

    Oh, woe is me.
