Cleaning Sharks


Anyone will tell you: I am not a domestic goddess. I hate housework--but sadly, I love a clean house. And no, as much as I would like to, I don't have a cleaning service. First because I can't afford one right now, and second because I'm too embarrassed to call one. So I'm constantly on the look-out for cleaning aids--that make my life simpler and a reasonably priced. Recently I found to really good products from the same company. The Shark Pocket Steamer and the Shark Pocket Mop.

Oh my gosh! I've bought other steam cleaners in the past and been very disappointed---mostly because I was constantly mopping up puddles and worried about getting burned by the steam. In addition, older versions of steam cleaners were heavy and plodding.

Before I purchased the Shark Pocket Mop, I read a lot of reviews--not all of them were favorable. Some even cited the problem that I hated in other steamers--the puddles.

I got both products last week--the pocket mop was easy to put together--and does an incredible job on my laminate floors--no puddles, no streaks. It is very light weight, has an extra long cord, and is easy to store. A big plus all the way around. Price is under $120--and I got free shipping. Yahoo.

The Pocket Steamer--is just as amazing--I cleaned all my cupboard doors, my appliances, my bathtub and counter tops--it worked like a dream. The attachments were easy to switch out. Price is under $100 and guess what? Free Shipping.

2. Washington workers receiving L & I will receive a 5.018% cost of living raise beginning July 1. As a state worker for nearly 25 years, I can tell you I've NEVER seen a 5.018% raise of any kind.

1. IRS mileage rate for 1/08 through 6/30/08 is $0.505 beginning 7/1/08 it goes to $0.585 supposedly until the end of the year. But it is not beyond the realm of possibility that it could up again if gas prices continued to climb. July 1 2008


About Me

I am a shameless bibliophile. I love books, love to read, love to be the first to find a great read.

FLACK OR FRICTION

FLACK: The inability to have sex is a disability protected by the federal anti-discrimination laws. I can't make this stuff up.

This ruling by the appellate court gives a state department employee another chance at overseas employment. What I don't get and hopefully someone will explain this to me, is how being sexually incapacitated is related to State Department employment, or more particularity overseas State Department employment.


FLACK:
Oh really, Proctor and Gamble won its case in the U.K.--Pringles are NOT potato chips. So says Proctor and Gamble and the UK courts agree. They have only 42% potato products in them and are not fried but rather baked from a dough. This makes it a food and not a snack--which means no 17.5% sales take for the U.K.

FRICTION----
What is this big hoopla about 900 cases of salmonella poisoning over a six-week-period over the entire nation. I mean, sure, I sorry that 900 folks got sick---but I gotta believe that is about average. Frankly, I think we have bigger problems to solve---a whole lot more than 900 people are feeling the wounds of too high gas prices, too high food prices, and a president who says "he feels our pain". Even if we find out how this salmonella was spread--it won't stop salmonella--it will happen again--it's nature. So call me and alarm me when it is 900 people in one city that are sick---that is a REAL problem.
