What Grizz mentioned is what I was talking about. The commercial makes it look so simple... Half the times these ads just play with our minds and don't work nearly as well as they portray.

I do know what you are talking about re:the scunci steamer. I bought one a couple years ago. It's a tedious little device.. not good for large areas... but maybe hard to get areas.. I should pull it out more often.

Is an air purifier and ionizer pretty much the same thing? I would think they or that type of thing could be really good with pulling some of the airborne particles out of the environment.

Debby, when you are doing cleaning, it might help to wear a dust mask.. When you are vacuuming or dusting or in the shower cleaning it.. You are having more direct contact and stirring that stuff up. It might just add a little more protection. My dad is supposed to wear a mask when he is out in the yard.. but he's a stubborn old fart... and won't because he doesn't like it and he can't breathe! Then he wonders why he gets constant bronchitis so often! His lungs are damaged already..and it doesn't take much.. I'd expect someone who already has allergies or asthma would have a similar tendency to have sensitive lungs or respiratory problems.

YOu are so right about wearing mask. I want to get a nice one. I think they come in delux models and cost about $30.00. When I clean without a mask or scarf or something over my nose, my nose just pours water. I constantly use tissues. It's very annoying. I used to think it was the cleaning solutions, but, it's not. It's dust and/or mold spores or dust mites.

It's so odd, I never had any allergies until I was in my 30's. I have heard of many other people who say this as well.

As far as washing curtains go....I have very few window treatments in my house. I do have blinds and the research discourages this for some reason, I guess they collect dust too. Anyway, they are staying and I'll just dust the ones in my bedroom as often as I can.

I will check on the air purifier and dehumidifiers to see which ones will do what I need and that are in my price range.

I saw the Oprah show about The Secret. It was a very interesting show. Her guests were teachers of The Secret... they discussed the Laws of Attraction... the concept seemed very positive.

Did anyone catch the show? Has anyone seen the video or read the book?

Mazzy, Seems I saw something about it but not sure if it was on Oprah or another talk show.. I remember the one panelist was the spiritual pastor of the church in the L.A. area that Iyanla sent Jill to..
I think his name is Michael Beckwith.

I just did a search on 'the secret' and I guess they are probably in the process of bringing a movie out and the talk show circuit probably help market the movie.

Here is a website about 'The Secret'..

I remember when I saw the panel, that I looked for Iyanla..as I am under the impression that she is also a follower of this philosophy.
I don't know whether it is a religion per se..

KPW... Michael Beckwith and other teachers of The Secret were on the Larry King show. The Secret is a book made into a movie... the concept is about The Law of Attraction. One puts positive energy and it comes back... it seems to be an extremely positive motivational concept.

Wasn't Today's Show about Unruly Children? showing how they are and how they WILL BE if the Parents do NOT get them under control?

I see it all the time... and am Amazed at what some Parents put up with from Their Own CHildren!

Get a Grip on Your Children... at a Young age... for a possible brighter outcome with Discipline & Tolerance for all associated.


Sad to see... imo
