-- Product Review --  I first connected with Peter MacDonald, the founder and owner of Very Dirty Carpets (VeryDirtyCarpet.com) re: the review project for their Carpet and Upholstery Spot and Stain Remover around July 24 th .  We picked it up on August 3 rd at the border where we use a US postal service outlet located a few miles south of us for items that don’t ship to Canada inexpensively. It arrived in a 7” high X 8” wide X 14” long cardboard box with brown paper packaging inside to protect the bottle. The product was also sealed against leaks during shipping with a plastic bag that you have to cut open. The product is housed in a white, 32 fl. oz. (946) ml. sized plastic spray bottle. The nozzle turns so you can have it safely locked in the off position when not in use. Peter did caution to test a small inconspicuous area of the carpet or upholstery fabric to ensure there would be no issues with using the product first – a common precaution in the ...

  -- Quote of the Day --    "Afflictive emotions — our jealousy, anger, hatred, fear — can be put to an end.

Importance of Sports in a child’s life     * Today’s article was written by Daniel Ashworth who believes in the significance of school awards , and how these medals or plaques can play an important role in encouraging the participant to perform better and emerge victorious. . These days, it has become hard to encourage children to join sports. Many would rather play virtual versions of sports on a video game console inside their houses. When they are playing video games, they have access to food and comfort. However, video games and virtual versions of sports are not healthy when it comes to the long term development of their physical and mental capabilities. At times, even parents can become a part of this cycle. Parents may put too much of a focus on academics. While academics do hold a place of importance, there are some things that academics alone cannot give to children. This is why it is important for children to engage in sp...

-- Product Review --   After some initial discussion with the marketing representative for Pure Paw, I agreed to take on the review project of Dog Dream Glucosamine – a liquid joint health supplement for canines of all ages. The order was placed via Amazon.com on July 30 th ; Amazon’s guaranteed delivery date was the same day we picked it up at the border - August 3 rd . It arrived in a 5” high X 7” wide X 10” long cardboard with 9 air bubble packs, some filled with air, others not… all of which is recyclable. I thought it was interesting that the label stated that the 1 quart sized (32 f. oz. / 946 ml.) white plastic container is BPA free and recyclable – it shows that the company cares about the environment. The screw top cap is sealed with clear plastic and was, thankfully, perforated for easy removal. This USA-made joint supplement doesn’t have any sugar, starch, salt, wheat, gluten, yeast, corn, milk or soy. However, because this is a natu...
