We have small blotches on/in the kitchen linoleum floor that don't
come clean. They appear to be in the linoleum rather than just on top

We received a stack of large heavy towels that were used in a tanning
salon. They are perfect to use around the pool, but I wonder if I will

  I need a new stick vac, mostly for my kids to use.  They want to help,
but find the full size vac awkward.  I had an old Eureka (I think) that was
fine, so I replaced it with another one from wally world, and it's really

We need a general purpose vacuum cleaner.  We only have carpet in our house,
no hardwood floors.  We want an upright, probably one that doesn't use the
more old-fashioned type paper bag that is a mess to replace. The price range
for us is about $150-200, or maybe a bit more if a ...

The Easter Bunny brought me a new line, a new matching prop in green and a
giant bag of soft touch pegs.
I WAS hoping for a washing machine .
Still, mustn't be ungrateful.

I had a bizarre little accident in the kitchen the other day where I
slipped while attempting to deposit hot steeped tea bags in the trash
can resulting on very noticeable tea stains on the wall.  The wall is
off white interior latex paint.  I wiped it off quickly, but the damage ...
