What Do You Want For Christmas?

Kenna · 11-14-2010, 08:12 PM

Peace and good health.
That's something I haven't had much of during the past few Christmas seasons; especially with Mom's fight with cancer and my battle to juggle two households and a killer job.

And, an orange and an apple... just like Lil' Gma used to put in my stocking.

I have found that if I wash by hand and dry the floors as I wash them that it improves things - but that is not how I am interested in spending my time. I get the feeling that the Shark will be a step up from mopping, although probably a step down from hand-washing.

Exactly. I have a lot of laminate flooring. It is perfect for it. I use regular tap water. Flooring I would guess to be mid-grade and has never looked cloudy. Let me know how you make out (seriously!).

DapperButch · 11-14-2010, 08:43 PM

Materially, I would like a new vinyl back window for my convertible and a quality oil extractor.

I'll keep you posted. It's actually on sale this week at Canadian Tire so I might go and pick it up as an early giftmas gift to myself.

So you use tap water and no product? My mother uses a tiny bit of vinegar. Do you think I should try it both ways?

And how the hell are you doing?

Yes, just tap water, but I understand that a lot of people use vinegar/water for cleaning. Before I use it I always vacuum the dust up first.

I am curious as to why there continues to be some sort of residue on your floor. Could the flooring have been ruined by a product someone used on the floor? If so, then I'm not sure it matters what you use (like changing to steam) making a difference. Doesn't Just G put floors in for a living...maybe you need to take a pic and send it to someone/bring it into a store....you said you have tried a lot of products. I mean, what could explain the cloudiness?

ETA: I am doing ok....I will PM you.

I'm thinking that since if I handwash and dry the floors they look passable, they're probably not completely ruined. I'm not super invested in how they look, I guess - this is just a rental and one day the floors will be someone else's problem. It's just a little embarrassing for me that they look kinda dirty all the time even when they're not.

EVERYBODY - WE WILL NOW STOP DERAILING THIS THREAD TO TALK ABOUT MY FLOORS! I PROMISE! <3

We do this, have for generations. Only.... we also get one fruit or veggi of our choice, last year my kids picked brussle sprouts.

Kenna · 11-15-2010, 08:21 AM

I have deep laminate in the kitchen and the Shark just can't get in there and clean well. I wish I had not bought mine. Thinking about returning it. It is not worth what I paid for it.

I would like a new queen sized bed with memory foam pillow top. And satin sheets and matching comforter. It would be awesome to sleep (or whatever

) on a bed like that. Cats would like it too.

I just love spending time with my kids and their families; several little ones which makes it so much fun.

This year I will be giving all the children in my family some heirloom jewelry; something I had planned on leaving them in my will anyway. But why wait; let them enjoy it now. One piece I am very excited to give my granddaughter is an 18k yellow gold amyethist ring with several tiny diamonds. Her mother bought it for me for Mother's Day when she was 16. She saved for months from her first job. I think the girl will love it.

My oldest grandson expressed a wish to have a diamond engagement ring of mine; he said (when he was nine) he would love to give it to his future wife one day. I am going to see if he will have it mounted into a stud for now.

My oldest daughter is getting a strand of very nice pearls that she wore to her first prom with her husband when they were 15 and 16.

My other daughter will get the platinum ring with baguette diamonds (circa 1920) that belonged to my mother and her mother before that. My girl wore this ring as something borrowed for her wedding. Things like this with memories....Crossing fingers they love these!

I would like another Christmas with my Mom.....If I could have this, I would never ask for another thing. Ever.
