Someone i love is sick review
Someone I Love is Sick is a customizable tool to use when talking with children ages 2-6 years old about a parent or grandparent who has cancer. Pages can be selected to address the family’s specific situation including diagnosis, treatment, hospitalization, recurrence and, if need be, end of life.
It addresses the unique learning capabilities and needs of very young children. They are sensitive to changes in their families, but their capacity for understanding and coping with these changes is limited by their attention span, language level, understanding of time sequencing and retention abilities.
Many young children learn well from being told or read stories, but the story must respect the specific developmental abilities of this age group. At the current time, there are no materials developed to help them understand and cope with the reality of a parent or grandparent with cancer. For a story to be most effective, it should be designed to be specific to that family, that child and that cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Someone I Love is Sickhas been developed in such a way that it can be adapted by parents, guardians or health care professionals to be used in many situations involving a parent or grandparent with cancer. The pages are loose-leaf, pre-printed pages of the many realities of cancer in the family, all at a pre-school level, with instructions for how to select the appropriate pages. Guidelines are provided so that parents or guardians using Someone I Love is Sick have the tools and the autonomy to help their own children.
I found this book to be genuine, and touching. my daughter is starting to ask about death since her grandmother died last year. although she go from cancer, the book still gives a good definition of what to expect for children. I was afraid my daughter wasn’t emotionally stable for this book, it made me cry. she did okay with it though.

when your carpet needs cleaning, you call the doctor
Rug doctor that is!
Originally established in Fresno, California, Rug Doctor relocated its corporate headquarters to Plano, Texas, a suburb just north of Dallas, in 1998. The company has grown from a regional West Coast operation to an international manufacturer and marketer of the most convenient, compact, and powerful hot water extraction carpet cleaning machines and products available today. Present-day U.S. operations include a main manufacturing facility in Fenton, Missouri and more than 35 warehouse distribution points and service centers around the United States.
Expanded distribution and sales of machines have allowed a growing number of vacuum cleaner sales and repair shops to offer Rug Doctor carpet cleaning machines for sale. These shops also serve as repair centers for machines if needed. Rug Doctor carpet cleaning rental machines and a full line of Rug Doctor carpet cleaning products can be found in over 33,000 grocery, drug, hardware, and home center stores across the U.S.
I got to test out the Rug Doctor mighty pro and also received a bunch of cleaning products: i received two of each of the following anti foam, carpet cleaner, upholstery cleaner, urine eliminator, spot remover and red remover. i also received a upholstery cleaner attachment and a urine indicator light.
First i decided to clean my chair, since it’s never been cleaned.
It was very simple to use the attachment and worked very well. even my husband was impressed with the results of the chair. I plus the water after i was shocked at how dirty it really was.
The results
turned out great and a lot cleaner as you can tell!
Now we just moved into a new apartment so my carpet is not really dirty, but my kids have managed to make a couple stains. that i went ahead and used the steam cleaner for.
the results:
it worked very well on the carpet as well, my only complaint is that it only moves backward. you spray and then clean with the machine going back. you have to lift on the back two wheels for it to move forward.
It still works great though and will last you forever.
you can purchase this machine here, and right now they have a great deal going on. if you buy mighty pro in one payment you will receive free cleaning solution and attachments. a $250 value!
******plus stay tuned because i will be holding a fantastic giveaway with this company in a couple months!
The Center Of The Universe review
Nancy Bachrach is living in Paris, advertising deodorant to the French, when her parents are found aboard their boat, the aptly dubbed Mr. Fix It, which leaked carbon monoxide overnight. Her father is dead, and her mother, the self-proclaimed “center of the universe,” is in a coma. (Worse, her chart at the tiny seaside hospital says she’s in a “comma.”)
Thus begins a dark, hilarious family reunion with her brother, Ben (a piano prodigy and eventual surgeon who was born with three thumbs), and sister, Helen (the wild child, now an “abnormal psychologist”). The siblings gather around their mother’s hospital bed, with Nancy eyeing the plug. This is a tale of genius, madness, ineptitude, collateral damage, and hope — with an ending that’s improbable, as only the truth can be.
about the author
Nancy Bachrach worked in advertising in New York and Paris, spinning hot air like cotton candy, glorifying her clients’ beloved denture adhesives and powdered orange-juice substitutes.
Before that, she was, sequentially, a clumsy waitress at Howard Johnson’s, an overzealous customer-service rep fired for making genuine apologies, a stenographer for an insomniac poet, and a teaching assistant in the philosophy department at Brandeis University, where she was one chapter ahead of her class. you can find more information on her and her book on her website www.nancybachrach.com
I found this book to be so funny. It is one of those books where it gets so interesting you can’t put it down.
