How about Lysol All-Purpose Cleaner or Lysol All-Purpose Cleaner With Bleach? Or plain water with bleach? Or Spic-n-Span? Spin-n-Span with bleach? Bleach is not going to hurt ceramic tile, and it kills germs.

I use Spic and Span on the kitchen and bathroom floors and Murphy's Oil soap on the hardwood floors.

I used Spic and Span in our other houses, but this one has ceramic tile in the kitchen, dining room, and bathroom. My brother told me to be careful what I used as it is very porous so I looked on line. Most places said just use plain water and I have been but I'd feel better with something else esp in the bathroom. Bleach is out because of the kitties, and I'm allergic to it.

Use travelocity, orbitz, and expedia and see which one gives you the best results.

Isn't this weird? (Does it ever happen to you?) Yesterday I was at a stoplight just kinda spacing out. I happened to look at the little sticker on my windshield that says when my next oil change should be. The date said 2-2-07 and the mileage said 77,721. I thought oh crap, if the date was supposed to be in Feb, I am in trouble! I had no idea about the mileage. So I push the button to see the total mileage (I typically leave it on the setting for the short trip mileage). Well, what are the chances that it would be EXACTLY 77,721? Well, that was exactly the mileage. Even. I know it doesn't mean anything. But how weird is that? I mean I (obviously) have not given thought to my mileage/oil change in a loooong time. And it wasn't "almost" 77721, not 67721 or 77722, but that exact number on the dot! What does it mean? I know I am not psychic, but I will tell you that this is not the first time something like that happened? Does stuff like this happen to you guys too?

Julie, it's called a 'coincidence'. LOL I drive so little I change my oil by the mileage, not the date. In 3 months I probably drive only about 500 miles...if that.

Very spooky, Julieboo, very spooky. I think it means you are supposed to change the oil RIGHT this minute! The night before last I woke up at 2:22. Last night I woke up at 1:11.

Julie your inner mechanic told you to look at the sticker. LOL It's just one of those wierd things that happen that makes you go..."??". (glad you looked.) The other day I was walking around humming a tune and then when I get in the car to run to the store & turn on the radio that song is playing. Wierd. I 'know" that must happen to other people too.

Julie, Carl Jung called this "synchronicity". I found a brief description of it at the following link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronicity I've experienced things like that all my life. When I was 22, I had a dream about my 2nd grade teacher in Saudi Arabia. The NEXT DAY, I had an email from her. This is someone I haven't spoken to or thought about really since 2nd grade. Apparently, she was now living in Hong Kong and ran into my mother at a market. (My parents lived in Hong Kong at the time.) My mom gave her my email address and she wrote to me. Totally spooked me.

Have you ever picked up the phone to call someone and there wasn't a dial tone, so you say, "Hello?", and the person you were going to call says, "Funny, the phone didn't even ring and there you are saying 'Hello'!" ? <yep, way too many times>

That "the phone didn't even ring" thing happens to me all the time, too... Say, does anyone know how much of a commission a salesperson would receive for selling a $2500 item?

Can I have 50% commission? It really depends on what the salesperson's contract or store policy says the commission percent would be. the salesperson here makes a bonus of 10% of the bottom line(after overhead and costs of goods)

Thanks, Denecee. I am trying to decide if I can deduct half of a salesperson's percentage for a really bungled job...not putting in the paperwork...product a week late...that kind of thing. I probably won't, but I sure do feel like it.

Justavice, I just checked out the site on synchronicity. That was just too interesting. I also was amazed at the info on that site about "Dark Side of The Rainbow" I had never heard of this before but apparantly Wizard of Oz and the Dark Side of the Moon album synch somehow. It makes me want to listen to the music while I watch the movie. Has anyone else heard of this and/or experienced it?

Yup. It's incredible. Start the CD when the MGM lion finishes his 3rd roar, before the opening credits, and the rest is gravy. It only synchs up once (can't put the CD on repeat and watch the whole film)... the CD ends just after Dorothy encounters the Tin Man. Seriously worth doing. I actually bought a copy of Wizard of Oz to try it out, LOL.

I happened to look at the little sticker on my windshield that says when my next oil change should be.---- EXACTLY 77,721? Well, that was exactly the mileage. Even. Subconscience of the mind remembers the number from the sticker. When your eyes see the number on the Odometer in the dashboard your mind says....Look at the sticker!! Subconscious thought reminding Conscious mind of an important need. *** The phone thing is interesting and quite common. It has to do with our brains using Quantum singularity-type processes when we think/ memory. When we think of someone a signal is sent out to that person. Often that person will receive the signal and will know who it is even before the phone rings. There have been some interesting experiments done.

No, no, no, Sun. It's just magic. I am one of those 11:11 people, I see that time nearly every morning and every night. I am not by nature a clock watcher, it just happens. We've had this discussion here before, and we 11:11ers are super special. Again, it's just magic. Sun, stop knowing all these things and just believe in magic and fairies. It's way cooler.

SUnshyne, you said: Subconscience of the mind remembers the number from the sticker. When your eyes see the number on the Odometer in the dashboard your mind says....Look at the sticker!! The thing is that my odometer was set to the short trip setting, so I never saw the total miles until AFTER I had seen the 77,721 on the sticker. So now explain it!!!
