I was JUST wondering the other day about killing ants with mine! Now I know I can do it...if the mound isn't in the middle of my flower bed as it so often is. Under pots, yes! I find lots of that activity when I move pots that are sitting on the patio. Wooohooooo...from now on, I will have El Torcho ready and set on "Barbecue!" Marcia

I have just recently gotten a Scunci SS1000 Hand Held steam cleaner on eBay. It stated used, but I think it was not used more than a half dozen times if that. It was in perfect condition with all of the attachments included and even the brushes showed no wear. Anyway...I am very happy with this purchase as it was $28 plus $10 shipping. It holds 11 oz of water and goes for at least 15 minutes full force between fill ups. Between this device and my Shark steamer floor mop, I feel I am set.

I read that in our local paper. I see people holding a cell when they are driving and I don't understand that. I can understand calling and saying, I'm taking mom to the ER or something similar, but talking any longer seems silly to me dangerous or not. Why not wait until you get home and can sit and relax. Nothing is so important it can't wait until I get home. It seems like people always have to be connected or they are not happy. To me it is similar to Facebook. WOW I have 1,000 friends. LOL

Oakley, I know this is more than $50, but DH swears by his battery powered Ryobi tools. I use this little gem all the time. It is very portable and strong. And HD will ship to you. If you dont like this, try searching shop vacs instead of hand held vac. There are several smaller ones. https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-ONE-18V-3-Gal-Project-Wet-Dry-Vacuum-with-Accessory-Storage-Tool-Only-P3240/303579585?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&&mtc=Shopping-VF-F_D25T-G-D25T-025_009_PORT_POWER-RYOBI-NA-NA-SMART-2231655-WF-SMARTSHOPPING_Q1Q2PLUS+UP+PL2&cm_mmc=Shopping-VF-F_D25T-G-D25T-025_009_PORT_POWER-RYOBI-NA-NA-SMART-2231655-WF-SMARTSHOPPING_Q1Q2PLUS+UP+PL2-71700000083187721-58700007049582706-92700063451361509&gbraid=0AAAAADq61Uf44TVrdi0IoMCg2FaoNUc6P&gbraid=0AAAAADq61Uf44TVrdi0IoMCg2FaoNUc6P&gclid=Cj0KCQjww4OMBhCUARIsAILndv6CtNQ2Xy59j0vdBGrDUAnmos5ZIqY8z0YB838MBPsKSHsMoAUBTpwaAkrDEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
