Am considering installing a Pebble Tech floor.

I wonder if Pebble Tech is the right choice.  One adult, four animals, 1400 sq. foot.  What I am concerned about is being able to keep it clean and how comfortable they are to walk on with bare feet.  Cost is fairly reasonable when compared to tile and the look I like (the beach!).

Anyone have experience with this type of flooring?  Will it make my home look like a business rather than a home?  Is keeping it clean a hassle? 

Thank you much!

Move all plants up to counters and maybe a gate for the kitchen so you don't have to worry about babe getting into cupboards.  Also for any stairs.  They have those socket covers that are very cheap and I would put them in outlets and always make sure the toilet seat is down. Other than that, enjoy.   

Mazel Tov - Hebrew for Good luck, Congrats, et al.....not a lot of people know Hebrew but I, for one, understood the words of the other poster....

Did my floor from Lumber Liquidators as they seemed to have the BEST prices.  Once you do the floor, the rest should come easy - you would match the floor to your furniture for blending purposes (in your head) and I found the rest fairly easy once I painted the rooms.....Have fun if nothing else!! 

It seemed a lot of the RNs thought they were the most elite part of the hospital/society and treated everyone that way.  What I despised most though is that they would do their patient assessments, charting, then sit around the nurses station and gossip while we did the majority of the work and they would try to shove as much as their job on us as they could, even things we were not qualified to do.  They also were the most unprofessional people.  They were the ones that tended to make fun of a patients ailments, body habitus, lack of education etc., than any other personnel in that hospital.

There were some good RNs though that knew their place but it seemed that they were few and far between.  The real good RNs did not stay long at that little rinky-dink county hospital, they were just there to get their experience and go to bigger and better places.  Glad that is ancient history for me now as far as dealing.

We hope to put new flooring down in the house soon.  I really like the look of linoleum in the kitchen.  We are having a hard time deciding on a carpet color.  A light neutral color or maybe a lighter green would be nice but any lighter color will show everything I'm sure.  We have a really dark burgundy carpet now.  Although I don't really care for the color it is now, it has really held up to stains since it is so dark.  We thought of putting hardwood floors down but not sure if we want to put it in the kitchen too.  I'm thinking it would probably look better to carry the hardwood floor throughout the house--including the kitchen--but I really would rather have linoleum there.  How would the hardwood floor (probably the medium color--not the real light or the real dark) look next to a kitchen with linoleum?  Would that be tacky? 

Thanks for the opinions.  I really can't decide.  We know we will be looking at it a really long time so we want to be satisfied with our decision.     

My husband uses something to spy on our kids when they are online.   He can log in to his computer either on his lap top or at work and then follow their conversations if they are talking on messenger or writing emails.   He said he can even manipulate the cursor so it messes with them.  He thinks it's funny.

It makes me wonder now if he is doing the same thing to me because I notice my cursor go crazy occasionally when I'm working.  How can I tell if he has it on mine?

I already asked him point blank if he was doing it to me and he denied it of course but I don't believe him.

I have been trying to open a video of a speech my nephew gave and cannot get my computer to open it.  It asks what program to open it with (or if want to do a Internet search), and I have tried both.  The Internet thing didn't come up with anything I found useful, and my own computer only has Windows Media Player, which did not work.

My sister says it works on hers ... it does not even ask what to open; simply opens and plays.  She cannot tell what program it is using. 

The file says it's a MP-4 auto file if that helps.

Thanks for any help you can give me. 

In Blacksburg, VA.  Someone went on a shooting rampage and he and at least 20 others are confirmed dead.  My son is in high school but was there today on a field trip.  He and his class were walking on campus when a professor took them to a safe room in the basement of a building.  My son used his cell (wasn't supposed to have it with him but thank goodness he did) to call my hubby, and he came home from work to tell me.  I of course went all to pieces but am a little better now. Just can't imagine what the parents of the other students are going through. They are now allowed to leave as soon as the can find the bus and bus driver.  He was sent to another part of the campus.  Just needed to talk about this a little.  Thanks for listening. 

Since you all have great volunteering ideas, I thought I'd pick your brains about what to give high tech men who have everything for Christmas.

I know it says you don't have to rinse, but I feel like there is something, not sticky necessarily, but just something still on the floors.   Am I using too much solution as I mop? 

but not in a good way.  Your humor makes me laugh!  Hope your wife didn't stay mad long.  Another good mark for you, at least you didn't lie or omit that you're married.  Hey use some of that money you saved from the butler and buy your wife some flowers to replace that frying pan she's chasing you around with  

Keep up the great jokes though, you make this board what it's supposed to be, fun!
