I have a Monster steam mop..sm

Posted By: passing thru on 2009-01-21
In Reply to: What type of kitchen mop do you use? - sm

I have ceramic tile, and I love this mop.  I have tried just about everything and my floor was never really clean.  I tried this and after I finished I took a wet paper towel and rubbed it on my floor and it was really and truly clean!  I also have a Hoover spin scrub and I really like it too, but the Monster is easier to use and works just as good if not better.

Breathing steam....
Nothing else works for me, no sprays, no pills, no hot showers, nothing. Boil water and be sure to turn off burner first! Make tent with towel over head over the pot to keep in the steam. You can add sage or other herbs to the water also. Feel better!
Oooh. Didn't think of the steam.
But I will check the website.  Thanks for the suggestion.  Just want to cover up the lovely 1970s crappola that I have been looking at since we moved in.
Yes, but she certainly gets to let off some steam! Go Judge Judy! I would LOVE her job! nm

You'll pretty much have to paint and steam clean
My grandmother smokes inside, and when we repainted the inside of her house and cleaned her carpets (steam cleaned them twice!) you couldn't smell it anymore. That is, until she started smoking inside again!


She is no monster! sm
I firmly believe that animals have emotional lives of their own. They like what they like and they want it when they want it, much like humans. They don't speak English and have our vocabularies, though I'll bet Morry talks up a storm when she wants to, she doesn't have the intricate workings to tell you what she is thinking or feeling. I have a dog and she can't tell me what she is thinking! She communicates with what she does, which is awfully smart for one, and she knows you understand for two. She knows how to get a rise out of you or how to get your attention. I'll bet she has treats and knows how to get one when she wants it. This isn't spoiling and you have not created a monster!

Like most creatures, she will be happier when her needs are fulfilled. She knows, as an infant knows, how to have an impact on her world to get what she wants, even if she can't articulate them with words. When an infant's attempts to communicate their needs is constantly rebuffed, they will learn to stop asking (think being cute or crying). It is the same with a pet. If she knows how to get to you the way she does it is because she has learned it through experience and generally gets the reaction she is seeking. See what a great job you are doing?

Amazons live a long time and are talked about in bird circles as legacy birds, or probate birds because they so often out live their human caretakers and have nowhere to go. She is an extraordinary bird by Amazon standards (which are high). Please be sure you have made appropriately extraordinary plans for her. I don't mean to be morbid, but so many people don't think about this. I belong to a bird club and we have been encouraged to "get the word out" because we have a re-homing program. In a single month recently we had 6 macaws, 3 Amazons and various conyers given up to the program, most of them due to the death of their families. We take them in and they are rehomed to people who know and love birds, but we also know that others are not so fortunate. We LOVE birds and treasure them. They are incredibly special to us and we care. Our recent push is to encourage owners to think about the very long term.
He is a monster. Good news all of this has been

Green eyed monster

I posted a while back about a woman who was divorced sat down at a football game with dh.  I was at home working.  Anyway, dh told me about it and he said he did not ask her she just sat there and they enjoyed the game together.  I said okay.  Anyway, 6 months later dh asked her if she was willing to lease out that 10 acres of land that she has so he can plant hay.  She said he could.  He did ask me if I was okay with it.  I said I was.  Well dh went to pay her first months rent and boy did she ever give him the old sob story about how her ex was.  She also tells him that several men, married men, have been out there coming to call.  She turned them all down because all she wants to do is raise her kids and ride horses.  


 


The only man I ever really chased was dh and I was pretty cut and dry with that.  Most the time I admired men at a distance.  I have ran around with some pretty wild girls and they would give their potentials a sob story about how awful life is just to play on sympathy then they would brag about how every man in the world “wanted” them.  Is this what this girl is doing?  Trying to play on DH sympathy and then telling him she is a catch of the town. 


 


I do know my dh.  He is more likely to run off with a tractor then he is with another woman.  I can almost 100% guarantee it.  There is always a slight possibility I could be wrong but who knows.


 


Another thing that worries me, is if this gal really is flirting and dh doesn’t want to “join her circus of men coming to call is she going to run him off the property after he put all that work and money into it. 


 


I don’t know why I worry so much.  She probably is just one that likes to talk, it could be innocent.

My husband was an attorney who would come home at night and tell me about how his secretary would flirt and carryon with him.  He had little derogatory names for her.  She had sad stories for him as well, about raising three young daughters on her own, etc.  When I was in the hospital for emergency major surgery she even offered to take care of our home and make him dinner, etc.  I wasn't jealous at all, but I did warn my husband to be careful of her and the situation.  Long story short ... they had an affair, our marriage was over, and I lost everything. (He's since married and divorced from the secretary.) 


Just because your husband shares with you about his time spent with this woman does not mean he is or is not having/or will have a relationship with her.  The man I am with now would never dream of spending any amount of time for any reason with a single woman without me along with him ... not because I have asked, but because he believes this is the right way to show respect and love for me. 


Jealousy isn't that great, but being smart is.  Some men with really good hearts can be kind of naive.  Just something to think about.  Your DH sounds like a good person. 


What's your opinion on the Monster handle?
I've been researching steam mops, and this one has lots of good reviews. The only negative that I'm finding is that some people find the handle to be flimsy, and a few have noted that they've snapped the handle when they've pushed too hard. I'm on the verge of buying one of these, but I'd like to know about the handle. Thanks!
