[Blindtlk] Keeping House Independently

Wed Apr 13 02:49:19 UTC 2016

Evening, Mike, Funny story. Also, not to be too 
nosy, but I think I've heard your name around the 
RB community. Sow were you, in fact blessed in that manner?

  We didn't see him for an hour! I was left in 
helpless mirth lying on the floor for a good five 
minutes! Mike -----Original Message----- From:

while back I said you have to experiment and do 
what's best for you. It would scare the crap out 
of my cat. He's funny that way. Sometimes the 
ding of a microwave will send him flying. If you 
like a rumba, great. I'm just skeptical. I don't 
get along with technology too well. Ericka Short

reading too much Stephen King, because I keep 
imagining it turning itself on in the night and 
chasing me around my condo! Or just sitting by my 
bed staring at me. Yep, too much Stephen 
King. >> >> Sherry >> >> >> >> -----Original

does it work? >> >> Thanks. >> >> -----Original

Christine, >> >> It's all what you feel 
comfortable with. You've gotten a lot of really 
good advice from a lot of the other people. From 
my perspective I bought a Rumba because I had to 
two dogs,  a  guide dog and a retired dog and two 
cats in the house and I wanted to vacuum my house 
a minimum of once a day preferably twice and I 
didn't want to take the time to do that. So the 
Rumba was an absolutely fabulous solution for me. 
Find out what you're comfortable with and go for 
it. >> >> Diane Sent using dictation.  sometimes 
it works and sometimes the mistakes can be 
funny.  please forgive anything in 
between.  >> >> On Mar 15, 2016, at 9:49 AM,

everyone, >> I just wanted to get your opinion 
about keeping house independently. I used to have 
someone come in once a month just to help with 
things I may have missed, but I am debating 
whether to do this still or not. I did get some 
rehab training with cleaning, but I am not the 
best at it. My main hangup is using a broom, as I 
just canâ€™t figure out how it is done. I just 
invested in a Swiffer so I hope that helps. >> >> 
I was wondering if you keep house independently, 
or if you have someone sighted come in once in a 
while to make sure things are kept nicely and are 
not dirty. Thanks so much for your 
thoughts. >> >> Christine >>
