    Cleaning heads and is a Persian rug a Persian rug a Persian rug

    Depends, some persian rugs are antiques, and very delicate and very valuable. They should be dry cleaned to prevent color fade, and weave break down from steam or hot water. Some may be wool, newer rugs may be acrylic, which is very durable. A Persian rug may refer to the design, not country...

    To Hans Craig - Pig Pickin' Cake

    "Dry Counties" until you venture deeper into the woods where the stills are. My sister in law was raised baptist. She took up smoking in high school. Her brothers were dopers. My mom would have sent me to reform school, or worse. She'd have told me she brought me in and can take me out...

    To Hans Craig - Pig Pickin' Cake

    "the south" rose again with Lee's surrender, and a reconstruction grant from Lincoln. Dissent caused the south to be ravaged, and yes the civil war was about slavery, because they seceded after the emancipation. I guess ya'll could secede again, but when those hurricanes hit, you need that...

    Peemail

    Oh, but they are cuties! I'm sure they get "Love" packages every day, and since their love is unconditional, give in return. Maybe they could help us out.

    Getting rid of noxious weeds

    Thistle grows between all of my butterfly garden plants and rose bushes, so ground clear or weed whacking is not an option. Preen does not work, so I get my garden gloves, dandilion weed puller, and get them before they bloom or seed. Doing my part for the bee's, butterflies, and that is...

    "Up In Smoke"

    I needed a sugar fix yesterday. Some times the craving is stronger than the will. So I'm done with it for at least a month. Nutty Buddies are tasty, as was the sour cream with Nutella filling cake I made, and no I did not polish it all off. I sent it to work this morning with my step son. I...

    Vacuums That Sold Poorly & Died An Early Death

    Eureka Europa was made in Sweden. Probably Vastervik. The final product from there was the Oxygen first series, and the Cyclone Power single stage bagless cylinder. Electrolux AB made good machines then, but their planned obsolescence scheme was/is more frequent. The Excalubur preceded the...

    "Up In Smoke"

    Kevin, maybe arthritis? Best of luck anyhow! Hubby has chronic shoulder pain also now. Alieve works, but too much ansaids aren't good either. He is seeing an orthopedic specialist Wed. We are thankful to have employer insurance. It isn't cheap either with a moderate deductable. You don't...

    Vacuums That Sold Poorly & Died An Early Death

    Electrolux Oxygen 3 and bagless machines made in Hungary. The versatility also. Maybe not the ultra silencer because it is simpler without all the auto suction motor speed pressure transducuers and fused circuit pcb boards that fail.

    "Up In Smoke"

    Kevin, do you have back pain, hip, or both? I also know that canabis helps cancer patients. I saw this pain devise on TV with a 30 day money back guarantee. It's black,and you wear it around your leg. It administers something in a time delay manner. Anything is better than opioids, unless...

    "Up In Smoke"

    Not for me, but I know some need it medicinally. I knew a a guy who toked daily for years. He is paranoid and a mess today. A lonely bitter 60 year old. Still, it isn't as damaging as alcohol. Absinthe became legal again in 2008. I don't believe it to be a gateway drug. If a person has the...

    Telephones on Keeping Up Appearances

    Alex! You're just a riot! I do hope Sheridan isn't calling asking for money again! Oh, you say his friend is going to visit with him next month? Will you be hosting a candle light supper?

    1995 Dyson DC01 Dual Cyclonic Vacuum Cleaner

    I like it Alex! it's the same colors as the Dyson Air Blade hand dryers. It's nice when all they need is a good cleaning.

    Our Early Computers

    I wonder what type the GCC in Cheltenham uses. A VPN? Many servers? I think token rings are obsolete. Speaking of giant donut architecture, have you all seen the new Apple complex in California?

    Hoover convertible u4123

    Mold remediation on a tower that size will be very costly indeed. There also was another developer who invested in the Trump Plaza, etc. This goes back to 1990; "I got the power" by Snap. It's getting kinda heavy, so please, stay off my back, or I will attack, and you don't want that. I got...

    My Arrival; Is The Bagged Power Nozzle Canister Market Dying?

    Tacony new canisters sound like good products then. My house is all hard floors, but I do have dense area rugs There are so many gimmicks on the market for hard flooring, like the Shark floor tool with a duster pad at the front. I've been known to use a dust mop with pledge on it, but in a day...
