I love mine too, but it is older and I have to spend about 10 minutes brushing out the brushes because of the cat hair and it quits picking up stuff because it is full. It sucks up about half a cat every time I run it. Do they have rubber brushes? And how well do they do the pick up and emptying? And do you have carpet or solid surface floors? Yes, my new one has rubber brushes and picks up cat hair very well. I used to do the same with cleaning bristles on old roomba, not needed on new one. My house is hardwood floor, tile kitchen and bathrooms and carpet in family room. Does great with all flooring types even leaves those vacuum lines on room with carpet. I'm very happy with the new one. I kept the old one and set up in basement which is mostly finished with tile floor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "green passport" which was given to all of us Pfizer twice vaccinated + 2 weeks after was due to expire end of July 2021 (~ 6 months from the vaccine). This "green passport" allowed us to dine inside restaurants, go to theatre, swimming pools, hotels, weddings, etc. Studies show that the efficiency is longer than the initial thought 6 months, so all the "green passports" will be automatically extended until the end of the year. Also there was talk about a 3rd jab after 6 months, which now seems irrelevant. Not so good news for heart transplants -- a study showed that only half of the recipients developed Covid antigens. It seems that the immuno-suppressor meds interfere with the vaccine. Vaccinated who didn't develop Covid antigens will receive a 3rd or even a 4th jab. @DaniDanielle, @Sunshine3601 Eric had labs done the other day. Should have results today on his antibodies from pfizer vaccine. We did hear that certain anti rejection meds are impacting the production of antigens, fortunately eric does not take any of the meds that were on that list. So hoping he is one that has produced antigens. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have the new upgraded Roomba and love it but I have a personal problem that I didn't take into consideration. We have two giant breed long hair dogs that shed a lot and I would fill up the old vacuum twice a day. I'm having to clean the rollers every 30 minutes with the Roomba, which I don't mind but I won't be able to run it while on vacation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaniDanielle Posted May 6, 2021 #15633 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Charlie has had a rough week. First routine dermatologist visit turned into a biopsy and stitches, skin cancer on forehead again. They will operate soon. Today routine colonoscopy so who know how that will go. Monthly bloodwork was not the best but his oncologist thinks they did the test wrong so fingers crossed on that one. The best part of all is that he still looks healthier than me😳 Marietta 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was secondary cancer in his brain but before the hospital could do anything to treat it he had a massive heart attack in hospital which killed him. So terrible. May Pauline and his family find strength and comfort in wonderful memories. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs. Dawg bought two, a regular dry one and a mop version. The darn things either wake me up in the middle of the night or attack me in the morning while I make coffee at 6am. The dry one also eats power cords. Must be Russian!! Now she has her eyes on one of these new robotic lawn mowers. The only positive thing is that it might get rid of the bunnies in our back yard.🐰 😁 Edited May 6, 2021 by DirtyDawg 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with land vacations. I find it much easier (at least for me ) to use the computer for researching info. Remember when we used to get those nice packets in the mail with all our paperwork, luggage tags, and tickets when we booked a cruise? Sigh...gone the way of chocolates on the pillows at night. 😟 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
