This morning, I went to go clean my floors with my trusty Bissell “Flip-It” Hard Floor Cleaner (my mother’s day gift), just to find out that I had destroyed it!  I decided to run the “dirty tank” and the “dirty tank lid assembly” through the dishwasher to get it clean, because it gets pretty nasty after cleaning the floors.  So it’s been sitting in pieces waiting for my next floor cleaning.

Well, today was the day, and when I went to put it back together, I realized that the plastic was completely warped.  So now it won’t go back together forming the air-tight seal, needed to hold the dirty water.  The cost for the replacement tank? $40.00 - The whole damn thing only cost $99.00.

Thanks for my Mother’s Day gift honey - Sorry I broke it.

P.S. It’s the bottom tank in the above picture!

I read this morning that Denver Colorado has banned Pit Bulls.  The article stated “Last month, the city renewed one of the most sweeping bans in the nation against the breed and, since May 9, more than 150 pit bulls have been put down.”

They are just killing them?  They are impounding all Pit Bulls and euthanizing them.  My heart BROKE when I read this.  I am a FIRM believer that ALL dogs can turn on you if they are raised to do so!  The dogs are not to blame here - it is the owners!  KILL THEM!

I personally own a 10 year old Pit Bull named Moses - and he would not hurt a fly.  He is the most obedient, well trained, personable dog I have ever known.  My children love him like family.  My husband thinks of him as a son.  When that dog goes, it will kill this family!  I could not even think of City officials coming to our door and taking him from us!  They would be greeted with quite a fight.

BAN STUPID PEOPLE - NOT DOGS!

Okay - I am done ranting, but seriously, how could you not love this:

Dena and I are taking the kids to Bush Gardens today!  We are taking off work early and heading up there for a little twilight ride action thanks to some free tix from Nadine!  Man these kids are spoiled!

Thank You Nadine!!!

Aloha Friday is brought to you by the letter A and by Snarky!

What are your favorite pizza toppings?

I am so boring - I love a plain cheese New York style pizza!

Have you served on a jury before?

Almost!  The week I turned 18, I received my notice of jury duty.  I was called to serve on a jury for a murder trial.  The guy had cut the person up and had stored him under his bed.  His mother found the guy when she noticed blood stains on the ceiling downstairs.  I was not picked because I told them I didn’t believe in the death penalty (which was not entirely true).  I am so glad I did not have to sit on that jury!




Spread the spirit of aloha?whom should we visit this week?
Hmmmm…  Last week I asked you to visit my best buds Nadine and Dena, and by all means feel free to revisit them, or you could certainly revisit Chaos-Girl and Some-Girl.  But for something new, try on Aurorealis for size - she is always good fun!

Aloha!!!
