[Blindtlk] Keeping House Independently

[Judy Jones]

How come we could never train our kids to go "to their place of charge" for the night like a good little Rumba?  (smiles)

LOL LOL LOL. My friend had one that got stuck on a bar stool leg in her kitchen and discharged its battery. They work for a period of time and then go to their place and charge. LOL. Wish my dog would always go to hers, but not sure I want her to be any more charged up than she is.
I long to have one of those things.

You can all laugh at this, but I'm absolutely terrified of a rumba and would never want one. It comes from 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.

Very cool.  My daughter has one of those.  How well do they work?  How long do you leave one on to prowl the room?  Does it go from room to room, or how does it work?

Thanks.

Hi 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.

Hello 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 can’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
