My family room carpet is filthy. I wanna get it professionally steamcleaned, will it help at all ?
Q. When I mean filthy it is very dirty. I'm just wondering can a rug be so dirty that a professional steamclean won't help at all ? If it helps even just a little, I will get it done.
A. I just had my rugs professionally done today and it made a really huge difference. ! The carpet smells clean and fresh and all the stains came out.. .I'm getting a few cans of scothguard tomorrow and spraying the high traffic areas so they don't stain so badly ! I had 2 bedrooms/ 1 set of stairs and a hallway a livingroom/diningroom combo done and it cost under $160 it would've been an additional $40 to have stainguard and some other "treatment" done.. Stanley Steamer's quote was roughly $400 + gas... A local "green" family outfit was around $250-$300... So, I think we did all right.. Call around and get some estimates... It really does help.. I've rented a steamer and it's ok but, not as good... Good luck
How much would it cost to live in Mexico city for a month?
Q. - I know theres a swine flu there. This question is in regard for about a year from now,
A. Mexico City is a great place to visit for a month!
It would be nice to have some more details about what you are looking to do in Mexico City.
Anyways, you can rent a decent (not a first rate hotel, but clean and safe) hotel room in downtown Mexico City for about $700 pesos per week, but that's with a shared bath. It also includes free internet in the lobby and a safe for your things. You can get a room w/bath for about $1,000 pesos per week. It really depends on what you want. There are many hotels in the Centro Historico (Downtown) which is close to many sights and things to see and do.
Yes, there's human flu in Mexico. It's also in the US and now it's in many other countries.
As for the cost of daily living: A ride on the Metro subway system costs $2.00 pesos (less than $0.20 US cents), a short taxi ride costs about $20 pesos, a bus costs about 3-4 pesos in the DF.
A tour of the city by Turibus costs about $150 pesos for all day.
Food: A tamale and a cup of atole (a steaming hot rice drink, often Chocolate or strawberry flavored) costs about 15 pesos. There's your breakfast. Lunch at a small-medium family run restaurant, the set menu comida corrida which usually includes soup, rice, beans, a main dish (enchiladas, beef or chicken steak, fish etc), a dessert, tortillas and a drink of agua fresca (flavored water, like juice) should cost between $40-50 pesos. Dinner: six tacos and a coke= $38 pesos (5 pesos per taco, 8 pesos for the coke. So your total for one day of food= $93 pesos mas o menos (more or less) and that's way under $10 USD at the current exchange rate of about $13.2 pesos to $1 USD.
Here is a list of prices for Mexico City. Some of these seem a little low, so maybe the list is a little old:

How can i stop my 7 year old from having behavior issues?
Q. My 7 year old is out of control. Has behavior issues, and issues at school. I need help. I was looking at boarding schools, and boot camps. I am at my wits end here. Please, help!
A. As this is your offspring, you (and your spouse) are the responsible authority in your household. Helping them under the concept of authority is an important life lesson. When they grow up and leave your household, the "new authorities" that will be over them (bosses, police, judges, etc.) are not going to be nice like "mommy." Read over the outline below and give it careful thought before proceeding.
New Rules
1. Do exactly what you say you will do from now on. If you tell your seven year-old he will get a time-out for being disobedient, carry out it out! If you have a significant other, they must be on board too- no exceptions.
2. Develop an action plan for how to punish misbehavior, and reward good behavior- write it down, then make copies. The one that has worked well for me in the past looked something like this is:
Infractions:
Not doing homework
Not doing your chores
(and so on)
Punishment:
First Infraction: No TV for a week
Second Infraction: A monetary fine AND First Infraction Penalty
Third: 300-line repetition, i.e., "I will never throw rocks at cars again as long as I live." Can't go to bed until it's done.
Fourth and subsequent: Double and Triple the above.
Ultimate punishment (if refusing to accept other punishments): stay in your room and don't come out until you are ready to accept responsibility, apologize and make amends for your behavior (I called it "reconciliation").
Buy a bulletin board mount it in the hall. Put each child's name on it. Each time they go a week without punishment, they get a happy face next to their name. They trade in happy faces for prizes mentioned below. Also, put achievements on the board to highlight the outcomes of good behavior.
Rewards:
Two Happy Faces: $10 allowance, Three: Movies, Four: Pizza, etc.
3. Sit down and talk to the family and let them know that the "old" sheriff is gone and that there's a new sheriff in town: "Mommy Tough Love," and if you live under this roof, you're under "Tough Love." Pass out the announcements, go over every point, bulliten board, etc. Put a copy of the announcement on the fridge and one in each bedroom. Removing or altering the announcement in any way is an infraction.
4. Sit down and talk with your seven year old in a quiet setting where there will be no disruptions. Ask what is causing this behavior, and what can be done to help, because he/she will be in hot water very soon if that aren't positive changes in behavior right away. Have someone else they like or respect very much reinforce what you have said.
This process seemed to work well with both of my youngin's. One's graduated from college just a few years ago and the other one's in her sophomore year. They laugh about it now.
