Swiffer Wet jet leave your floor feeling kind of gunky? (sm)

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?

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.

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!

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.     

ok - i'm not feeling sorry for myself because this is the story of my life - but I do feel very bad for my sister who is not even 60 yet.

First off - about 6 weeks ago my son hurt his knee playing softball - he had surgery and is on the mend - he has OI (osteogenesis imperfecta - so he knew he shouldn't be playing to begin with). 

Then a month ago - got a call and my sister had fallen at work and broke her hip. Had surgery - OT/PT rehab, and was in the hospital until last wednesday - having home PT and doing much better.  Then, on Saturday, she fell while getting back into bed and fractured her facial bones - she got dizzy and fell to the floor - falling onto the hip that was broken and onto her knees and then face.  So, back to the ER - more CTs and now facial fractures.  She wants me to take her to the pharmacy to get her diabetic supplies, since they found her to be diabetic while in the hospital (although I think it is probably really from the trauma since they didn't bother to do a hemoglobin A1C and just took blood sugars 4 times a day - and put her on insulin (someone's screw up) and I really don't want to take her out of the house - does anyone blame me. 

I'm just asking here for prayers and good thoughts for her.  She has had a hard life - 3 marriages (she's now married to the physical therapist who was our dad's PT when he broke his hip back in 1999) and just generally hard times.  We are thankful that she has her current husband - and I would much rather him take her to the store when he gets home than me - but I'm gonna go ahead and call her - pray that she is too tired to go - and let that be that -

this is such a great place -

this evening. He was very lethargic this morning and I was concerned that the fentanyl patch wasn't controlling his pain, and I refuse to let him live in pain.

I gave him some Metacam (vet said it was okay) and gradually during the day he has perked up. We still have to lift him up because he has a hard time getting up but once he's up he's walking pretty well.

And he's still got a bit of a sparkle in his eyes...I think that's how I'll know. If the sparkle leaves and doesn't come back, it's time. But please God, not for a while yet....

I lost my Tasha (chow/lab) this last May after 16 1/2 years but I did not make the decision she did and passed away on her own.  It was hard, have two cats but it is not the same as a dog.  Still tear up when I think about her but she is out of her pain and running like a puppy again I am sure.  I swore no more dogs but low and behold finally in November went to Humane Society and pick up Molly (another chow mix but a lot smaller) and did ot realize how much I missed a dog.   Back to walking and socializing.  Am getting a digital camera later this week and once I learn how to use it, will get her picture on here so I can brag.  These little furry things bring so much into our lives and ask for so little.   Love my cats too and they love the new dog.  Decided on the dog in my life instead of trying to find another man.   Take care, treasure your memories and love your remaining brood.  Thoughts and prayers, Patti

done.  I have 3 boys, ages 10, 7 and 5.  I work 2 part-time jobs and I specifically scheduled myself off 1 of them on Monday, knowing they would be home.  Fortunately, it was nice enough out that they could play outside in the afternoon while I worked and then had baseball practice in the evening (all 3 of them woo-hoo) so I could get to the track and the store.

I actually got to sleep in yesterday and got some cleaning done before I went to work (I do work at home).  Overall, it was a pretty nice day off, but I learned a long time ago not to try to work an 8-hour day with 3 kids home.  It just doesn't work.

they Mike and Susan will get back together eventually.............

terrible, even after all these years and telling people who do not even know me is humiliating.

Don't want to take the focus off of the initial poster who is having this decision to make now, but please just let me say that I was emotionally drained and just coming out of a short but very abusive marriage. I met this man and we were friends, nothing more. That grew and grew and soon I was looking forward to going into work. . . THAT should have told me something right there!    Then in a weak moment I went out with him and that was the beginning of the end. I was so in love with this man who made me finally feel good about myself and told me I deserved to be loved and treated right. I waited and waited for him to leave, even though  he had little boys and that was killing me. I just could not see going on without him. After I wasted the time and suffered the heartache he was gone. Probably the only truthful thing he said to me on the phone was . . Don't cry over me. I'm not worth it. I come from a good decent family and this can happen to good people when you need to be loved. That is why I want to caution this woman again, please, please, do what is right. It's not the easy thing to do, but it is the right thing. If this man really values her, why is he still conversing and carrying on this friendship when he knows how she feels, and he knows he is not in a position to do anything about it? 

Thanks gor hearing me out. I feel like I had my second shower of the day. You have a good heart to acknowledge me like you did.

there's just so much identity theft out there that it's scary to have too much info out there.  i think that is really good advice to save and buy with cash.  i do think it's good to have a credit card for an emergency like the other poster said. 

thanks for your input
