Hoover Floormate

[Rhoda]

I ordered a Hoover Floormate from HSN on Sunday & got it today. Wow, it works great! It's a hard floor cleaning machine that sprays the cleaner, scrubs the floor & sucks up the dirty water. And wow, was the water dirty!!!
Now I need to train ds & dh on how to use it!

I saw one company which sells a version of those which is a little automatic robot and it just goes around and cleans floors when you aren't home or whatever. They have one version for vacuuming and one for cleaning floors like you describe. Actually there's a similar one for mowing the lawn also. Anyhow without further adieu I bring you Roomba and Scooba:

I think I may buy one someday, my new place is ideal for that because it's big and open without many obstructions or corners, and the housekeeper (me) is lazy.

I had thought about getting one of those last year but had heard mixed reviews. I'd like to try the vacuum one to see how it does on dog hair though. I bought one of those furminator dog brushes that's supposed to be so good. It actually works very well at removing loose hair. If I could get ds to brush his dog on a regular basis, that would take care of most of the problem. I just hate seeing those little tumbleweeds of dog hair!

Tumbleweeds of Dog Hair was my favorite Johnny Cash tune for years...

Haha Corey, think I remember that one *HG*
Rhoda,hmmmmmm think I need to invest in one of those vacuum's, I love my little Jack Russell to bits, but she sheds so much fur, I end up with about 4 of her by end of week, I swear she can shed on demand LOL.
I have purchased a vacuum supposedly for pet hair but to be truthful its only so so , especially with Gypsi's excessive shedding :).
Wishing you great success with the Hoover Floormate, happy vacuuming :)

I can relate to all the pet owners out there...I have a golden retriever and 2 cats, plus I have long hair so my house is just covered in it! I've given up trying to be hair free! But I love my animals so it's worth it.

Are you a Country Western Boy? I love my CW music! He He He I live in TX for a good reason, I luv those cowboys! LOL

[Corey]

Not really. But the place I live is the C & W capital of Canada so I've heard my fair share. I was just being a joker though. :D

I can ride though. I rode for the first time when I was about 5 or so then did it a fair amount as a kid. I haven't done it for many years but I'd have full confidence getting on a horse tomorrow. I love horses.

One time I rode a retired race horse and I have to say that was too much for me though. That horse was way too fast. Even though it was a smooth ride it was terrifying to be going that fast. I didn't realize how fast race horses are compared to normal riding horses so I took her up to speed right away and - WOW - I was very quickly educated. I don't think my heartbeat returned to normal for about a week after that ride.

Any saddle sores?

I have to admit that ride would scare me too!
