happy Tuesday! my last day of my 2 day vacation. I still have work to get done and I don't wanna leave the house. Gotta return some stuff to Office Depot that didn't work in the office. FINALLY got groceries coz we didn't have time yesterday. AND finally gave in and decided to try a swiffer.... Let me just say WOW!! I dunno how it doesn't streak the floor when the dirt gets piled in the pad..but it works beautifully! I'm absolutely amazed at how well it cleaned and shined my floors! It was almost effortless too...I wish I would have just tried one sooner and saved myself all the hassle I've been thru..

up in the 100's today and HUMID as heck. I hate the summer...I hate opening my door and feeling like I just walked into an oven.

I added a new pic of my old pharmacy to my siggy. I miss it soooooooooooo much. Both the awnings belong to the pharmacy. I WANNA GO HOME

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii everybody.

I hope everybody has a wonderful day!!

Sigh...my husband is Muhammad too...at a young age the schools changes every boy's proper name to Muhammad in bangladesh. They now don't do it anymore. Imagine the backlogs for name checks if this went on!

(May peace be upon the prophet, of coarse).

Insha-Allah everyone will have a great week , I shall get to some major work waiting.

i c!

Hi Mohamed!

Well, Tammy...I have no clue. I just know there is a season for everything. Perhaps that was only good for that particular season but only God knows the answer to that. Emotional rollercoaster ...you ain't kidding.

Hi Amal! Vacation! So that is what you've been up to! Nice.

Hey 0livia!

Hi Nagi!

Hey Lost in New York!

You are one busy woman - hope that you'll have at least some time to relax and distress from all that running around! I've been thinking about the swiffer for a while now - maybe I should give it a try as well...





Hello back at you, Nagi !!! Hope that all is well, given the circumstances of course...

I forgot to mention I my swiffer!

I just talked to my hubby and we agreed that we don't need to take the car right now. We can just take what little we can fit in the van and leave the car at my moms house until we come back to get our stuff out of storage and use the uhaul to pull the car down there then. That will save us $300 to buy and have a hitch installed on our van that we don't need more than once, plus wear and tear on our van to pull the car and we won't have to have the money to rent the tow dolly before we can leave! So we'll just need gas money, food money and hotel money to go

OMG my mom gave me a swiffer but it was broken so I ended up buying one and now I don't know how I ever mopped before it!! but I'm too cheap to keep buying the cleaner to go in it so I just mix my own and spray it on the floor before getting it up with the swiffer

Awesomemoose!



Hmmm me thinks that is a gr8 idea!

Whatever is gonna get the job done. I'm all for saving a buck. If fact, I still scrub floors on my hands and knees and only use water with Dawn soap ( it's non toxic ) . How cheap is that??

that is how i was doing it.. I actually got on my hands and knees after it dried and went over a few areas with a clorox wipe and it came up clean so this swiffer did just as good as hands and knees washing and wasn't near as hard and only took me 5 minutes when it usually takes me 30 manually... I am soooooooooo happeh!

Should I see it as a sign when the second wedding ring I've had lost its stone today? The first wedding ring I had that lost its stone 4 times so I got the new one. They are different styles, different settings, different stones. What am I doning wrong here?

If my hubby ever came home to find me on my hands and knees cleaning ANYTHING he would swear aliens had abducted me! He wouldn't complain! Just wouldn't believe it was me

Ask the ring, " Are you stoned or just stupid? "

Amal.....

thank you so much for telling me

Hello Tenderheart!

Well..i do LOVE cheap! As for Olivia, if the dang ring doesn't straighten up after Nagi's interrogation then you know the answer to all of life's problems....


SUPERGLUE IT!

That's what tenderheart said! Super glue it. lol

this is 0livia fixing her ring :

i was gonna suggest duct tape........

Gulp!



ummm. while duct tape fixes almost everything a delicate little ring it shall not. I guess I'll just have to go to the gym without a ring. tra la la!

Speaking of rings..that reminded me of something that happened to my mama years back. She was outside working in the garden one day and she had to take off her gardening gloves for some reason. She noticed her stone was gone so she shook the gloves ..heard the stone drop...spent 4 hours searching on hands and knees and never did find it. So she gave up and wore a replacement ring until she could get a new stone for her actual wedding ring.
5 years later we had a MASSIVE flood. I'm talkin massive as in me and my sisters were outside swimming in our yard coz it was past our hips high. Once the water finally drained, we all went outside to clean off the sidewalks/porch and what do we find???? Mamas diamond to her wedding ring. She took the diamond to the jewler and he said that the diamond was real and the setting in the stone matched it perfectly so it had to be the original stone that was in the ring!! Can u believe that!! 5 years later the stone shows up

WOW!

I quit wearing mine a long while ago. It kept getting lost or I found myself prying it out of the shower sink whole...too much of a hassle. It sits in a box now and though it causes me probs with ppl not believing im married, it better than having a heart attack every time it gets lost
im just absentminded, i cannot keep a ring - and this AP has gotten me a bit crazy, i cant remember simple things anymore either...so Olivia, its maybe better if you dont take the ring to the gym even after u get it fixed at the jewelers if u opt to get it fixed that way. Better when hubby comes you wear it, I am so sane and organized around him...makes me wonder what I have become . ...

Hope u get it fixed.

amal- that is amazing. A wonderful miracle! Found a diamond in the rough. Literally.

just to see if i can do it.....I'mma see who I can remember seeing post today

Olivia, Nagi, Charles, Jackie, Nagi, Mohammed, Mohammed, aj, amy, g-girl, ayesha, PB, dorothy, hislittlemas(i can never remember the rest of that one), veepee (aka VP lol), tammy.....I feel like there are more ppl but this is all i can remember seeing post today in Tuesdays thread...

HOW CLOSE AM I

I got mentioned twice.

thats cuz you post enough for 2 people

you forgot me.


I feel like an alien 'cause I HATE my swiffer enough to have gone and bought an old fashioned mop and now I do it that way with nice hot water and mr. clean. When I used the swiffer on my kitchen floor, which is linoleum (sp?) it would leave a disgusting sticky residue and my feet would make a sound when I walked on the floor with barefeet. Now it's nice and dry and sparkling.

I do, however, love it for the hardwood floors.

I need coffee if I'm going to make it to 7pm tonight. Hubby was up ALL night long reading in bed and I couldn't sleep. I think it was because the light was on but he swears I cork off every single night while he's reading with the light on and it never bothers me so I dunno.

Becasue ur twice as sweet as the rest of us

http://www.watch-movies.net/movies/you_don...with_the_zohan/ This looks really stupid so far!

We can do this all day...

oops..a double mention for mrs. nagi... i guess dbl the pleasure, dbl the fun aye? ...

Congrats Aj1! Hello, everyone. Well, Dh has decided to not just invite one brother but in fact 2 brothers and a sister. You know how you're an only child and realized a couple years ago that you think of everyone as an only child and then accidentally fall in love with someone who is youngest of 11 and have this sinking feeling you are never going to be alone again? ummm.... yeah.

Today he asked me what we are going to do with the cats when they visit. I said nothing, they live here. he said he wasn't sure his family woud like that. I think it's completely unreasonable to expect to move the cats out. He just thinks I can give them to a friend for a week or two. WTH? Who will just take 3 cats for a week or2??

Bridget, get one of those eye masks (a dark one, the light colored satin ones are useless) and invest in earplugs. thats what i do to deal with my husbands tv before bed habit.

i was sure i included u bridget... sorry. I intended to have u on that list...honest!

honey i feel for you. i dont have cats (yuk!) but my husband is one of 8 and i have had at least yearly visitors since we have been together. and g-d forbid they stay for less than a month since they are payin for the plane ticket and all... no way should you make your cats move out tho.

Amal that story about the diamond is awesome! I always dream of finding buried treasure like that!

Tammy, I'll get the ring fixed at a jewler it will just be some time till I get the money for it. In the meantime I'm going to look at titanium bands with tension.

Hi Jackie!

Hey Bridget maybe I love my swiffer cuz I have hardwood floors!

Alhamdulillah I want to go see that movie but I'll wait till it's at the dollar theater.

Lucky Nagi got mentioned twice by Amal but I got mentioned first! Nah nah!

Hi Julianna-about the cats MENA is funny about that because they don't keep cats and dogs like we do here. Interesting experience you're bringing up though. Gives me food for thought.

Hi chaishai!

I spent about a half an hour last week trying to figure out how to open the battery compartment in my Swiffer because the sprayer wouldn't work, so I figured the batteries needed replacing. I just couldn't figure it out. In fact, I couldn't even see where the batteries could possibly be in the stupid thing. I finally gave up and was putting the thing back in the closet when I noticed the battery compartment on the closet floor. No wonder it wasn't working!

Hey all, I hope you are doing well. My grandmother passed away last night so I have been a little torn today. We will miss her deeply but are so blessed that we had her in our lives as long as we did and that God took her before she suffered any more than she did. Take care everybody!

Jenn!



Ah Tasha I am sorry for your loss.
