Carpet cleaning raleigh

Jerry — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 19:23:06 +0000

I’ve been hearing a lot of people talking lately about how bed bugs are becoming a big problem for homeowners. There have been articles in the newspapers about how easy it is to bring bed bugs and cock roaches home from innocent-appearing places like the grocery store (in bags) and movie theaters (from the upholstery in the theater seats!) Just reading about these kinds of infestations makes me want to give my entire house a good top to bottom cleaning, including carpet cleaning raleigh with a steam cleaner. From what I understand, steam cleaning is the best way to kill pests like that.

Redbox broken

Went up to the local 7-11 store this morning to use the Redbox machine to rent the Mission Impossible movie to take home and watch with my in-laws. When I got up there my credit card wouldn’t work! I tried a different card, and it wouldn’t work either! There was a line of four people behind me, so this was very embarrassing. Using my cell phone, I called my wife and asked her why was I having trouble with my credit cards. She told me that there should not be an problem with the cards, it is probably some problem with the telephone lines that the Redbox is hooked up to. It’s a rainy day and there have been a lot of solar storms lately, so she assured me that it was probably just a problem with the machine. I came home empty handed, and annoyed, but what can you do? Technology is great when it works!

Five Hour Energy

My son drinks those Five Hour Energy drinks, and it worries me. I’ve heard on the news that these energy drinks are not healthy for people at all. In fact I’ve heard that they are down-right dangerous. My wife keeps reassuring me that they are no worse for a person than drinking one cup of coffee, but I find that hard to believe. I’ve asked my son why he doesn’t just drink a cup of coffee if that is all it basically is. His reply is “I don’t like coffee, or tea, and I’m not supposed to drink a soda in front of my clients, so I drink these instead if I need a ‘pick-me-up.’” What do you think of these energy drinks?

Irises are blooming

Yesterday afternoon I was walking up the sidewalk from the driveway to the front door of the house and noticed that the irises have started to bloom already. I think irises are beautiful and would like to order some more from the mail-order catalog that we get several times a year. I can’t remember if the catalog is from Breck’s bulbs or Spring Hill nursery, but I have had good luck with everything I’ve ever ordered from them. I’ve tried other companies before, like Michigan Flowers and had very poor luck with them. The biggest problem that I have with flower gardening, though, is picking out which ones that I want – they are all so pretty that I’d like to have them all! Of course I can’t afford them all, and taking care of all of the plants would be more work than I’m capable of doing, but that doesn’t stop me from wishing!

Discount Uggs boots

One of the things that I was looking for at the clothing clearance sale was some discount uggs boots for my daughter. She has been begging for a pair of uggs boots for the past couple of years, and I have resisted buying them for her because I have read that although those boots have a reputation for being comfortable, that they really do not provide the correct amount of arch support that feet need. But I figured that if I could find them for a great price then I would buy some orthopedic insoles for them and let her be happy.
