Better to move them than give them a spray I guess.

which model do you have? and how long does it take to do an average room?

I bought this one, its light on the "extra" features but does a good job cleaning.

There is a "RS700 plus" which seems to just have a dock, though you still to pick it up & place it on the dock so I didn't spend the extra.

bear in mind these don't have a sensor to segregate door ways etc so you need a physical barrier if you don't want it crossing rooms, and there is no app etc.

I just turn it on and let it do its thing while out for lunch etc or last thing before bed at night so never sat there and timed it.
think it takes 15-20mins to do a 5m x 5m space

Do you know about using orange oil to disguise small (and some larger) scratches?

Tell me more!

Still no visa. One more day. Need to pray more.

I have a bamboo 'floating floor' at the holiday house. It occasionally gets white-ish scratches from chair legs etc. You can buy orange oil and rubbing it lightly into the scratch makes it all but disappear. Can't tell you about brand etc, as I've just sold the place, but should be pretty easy to get.

It’s almost like you wake to hear the news each day and wonder where it will be and if it will be worse than the most recent one.

Yikes. My USA office has active shooter training, I did it when we last visited.

One scenario was what if someone barricaded in a room with you keeps making noise, drawing attention from the shooter.

Apparently my answer of throw them outside and lock the door is incorrect.

 

[Denali]

But in saying that, when we would go to large places (ice hockey, Opry ect), I would scan the area casually, thinking there are doors, you could hide over there.

Not obsessively but we're not use to the sound of gun shots so just a general look around to avoid the crowd. Sometimes a duck and hide is better than a run and get shot.

Oh that is terrible. Master FM is out here at the moment, but normally when I see one of these shootings in California I get worried. You tube is one of Alphabet/google’s companies and I think it is just a matter of time until there is a shooting at the main campus. It is not a popular company because people feel that the high salaries of the tech employees have led to high rents and property values in the area to the detriment of original inhabitants- doesn’t take much of a grudge to get them shooting.

And today it is 50 years since the assassination of Martin luther King.

We visited the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, if youre there please dont miss it.

Across the road, you can actually stand in the spot where the shot was fired - which I find disturbing and didnt like the idea of it at all so avoided it.

The thing about these shootings in the US is the surprise that the locals have when it happens. It’s like they live in this bubble surrounded by guns, an angry media driven society, whose first recourse is to arm.

 

[drron]

But Pushka this time it was a woman shooter so it is a bit of a surprise.
She turned the gun on herself.

You see the difference between a handgun and a semi automatic rifle. You Tube there are 3 wounded at Parkland there were 17 killed and 17 wounded.

Why have Kmart moved the check-outs to the middle of their stores? It would seem to increase the risk of theft if the person at the front of the store isn't vigilant enough. And I am sure it takes up more room that when the checkout was at the front. Stoopid!

Had this exact issue yesterday, our store is now in the new style and I couldnt find anything! Then the girl wanted to check my receipt at the door but it was at the bottom of the stack of dinnerware I was holding....

Not really.There are some pretty effective handguns out there.

Possibly someone with a grudge.Shoots the intended victims only then does herself in.Because of that we will probably never know.
