Good job! I'm glad you got it fixed and it made you feel good :) Job well done.

Proud of you. It is a good feeling to finish a project to your satisfaction.
I had those meal worms in some bulk flour I bought. I did not know that they turn into moths. They got into all my grains. Then; I had moths all over my place. I feel for you.

It's perseverance, definitely something to be proud of. I often get impatient or frustrated, and I am thrilled when I can see something through, especially something challenging - great job!

Oh I dislike those nasty moths.. We had them in California. They even got into spices in closed jars. We had to throw everything out. I noticed in one of the stores while shopping in the evening that they were flying everywhere. I never shopped there again.

I'm in Florida and find occasional weevils. You can bring them in with new flour etc. I put everything in sealed plastic bags with a bay leaf or two. It isolates contamination. I usually keep flour, corn meal etc in the refrigerator.

Sorry for being off topic....I hate having bugs in my kitchen...lol

Kudos Calebb on fixing the sweeper. Funny how we can find joy in unusual ways. But, that is the beauty of life.

well my sweeper was plugged up with dust and dog hair...so I had to remove all that...and before it had a broken band that makes the head aggitator bar move...so I bought new one...then broke that too....so bought two more,...seems if you run over a shoelace it wraps around the bar stops the bar but the movement of the motor keeps going and burns all the way thru the rubber on that band and it breaks again...LOL

I am seriously thinking of buying a new shark vacuum that I see on TV....infomercial...$49.99 per month for five months but wait we'll give one month free! LOL

To Bill'sFriend, . Mine is possibly a Shark. --Gotten last fall, 50$ total. I also saw Kenmores for ca. 70. Vacuum w a hose. Very involuted inner passages which need regular checks so nothing gets plugged up. I went to a local store in order to feel more secure about service or rethurn. g'luck . :)

Blondie, I for one enjoyed every bit of your post. I was in my present apartment three yr w no probs, but a yr ago they came along. Tben five months ago became bad. I haven't found (that last) food source & so its an ongoing prob. In Jan. they were almost gone but now they are 1/2-way back. Every bit of knowledge I can find is appreciated.

Some of my original msg was --> small, everyday successes (sewing a button on?) we might give more attention than we have been gjving. Those of us who feel we have succeeded at not much..acually on a micro level are successful all the time.

cheers,

I get my mom to sew my stuff for me...LOL :o)
