3 GOOD REASONS TO END A RELATIONSHIP
Some of the worst times in our lives can be centered around the emotional fallout that comes with a breakup, but this type of suffering can be largely self-inflicted. Knowing the danger signs of a relationship in trouble can help you decide when to cut your losses and say good-bye.
Family “Support” – You, Me… and Your Mom, Dad, Sisters and Friends
Making a relationship work takes… you guessed it… work! It can be difficult to learn the ins and outs of another person’s mind and, most especially, their issues. Yet as hard as that may be there is one factor that can make it much harder: the ins and outs of a dozen other people’s issues. Families that are close knit and constantly in each others business can put immense stress on a relationship, and navigating effectively around the familial whirlpool of emotional “support” can be a key factor in making or breaking a relationship. Recognize when it’s time to say goodbye to someone… and their family.
Mistaken Identity – I Love My Version of You
Many relationships end over one factor almost never mentioned in the headlines of the “why we didn’t make it” speech. It is an issue that eats away at a relationship over time: falling in love with the person you want someone to be, and not the person you’re actually with. In the beginning, there is always a great deal of leeway with another person’s oddities or ineptitude. Indeed, you can sneeze on someone’s food in the “honeymoon phase” and it will likely still be seen as endearing. Mistakes are forgiven, and we choose to move forward with someone who is not really what we want. This can be deadly, and sometimes hard to see. Recognize when you find yourself dealing with a case of mistaken identity.
Sleep Walking – Breaking Up is Hard to Do
We go back and forth in our minds, toiling over whether or not we’re making the right decision and asking ourselves if there is any way to save the relationship. Often it takes a blow-out of epic proportions to push us over the proverbial edge, and force us to finally say goodbye. The trouble is we actually said goodbye long before, and simply didn’t have the guts to face it.
They say breaking up is hard to do and it is, but waking up to the fact that the time has come to say good-bye can be so much easier if we heed the signs, and follow our hearts.

THE BISSEL 1940 POWERFRESH STEAM MOP
The Bissell 1940 PowerFresh Steam mop has been widely hailed as one of the best mops for hardwood floors that you can get. Regardless of the space that you’re working with, whether it’s for a home or a business, from the food splattered floors of your restaurant, to the toddler tortured carpets in your home, this one-size-fits-all tool does the job professionally. Let’s take a look at some of the features that makes this a great buy for home and business.
Easy to Assemble – The PowerFresh Steam Mop has few pieces, and needs only a screwdriver to get it up and running and ready to clean. As opposed to heavier, more expensive cleaners that require a great deal of parts, this Bissell product keeps it simple from the start.
Moderately Priced – While larger and bulkier cleaners can be priced into the thousands and still not give you nearly the same versatility, the Bissell 1940 can be picked up for under $100. Compared to buying a larger cleaner or hiring a cleaning company to come in every few months, the cost effectiveness of this product is obvious.
Versatile Attachments –The Bissell’s attachments, such as the endlessly useful “floor glide” attachment, allow you to handle any surface. You can clean tile, hardwood floors, and more, all with the same ease, while taking only a few seconds to change from one surface to the next. It handles grout with tough caked on dirt and just about any other floor surface you can think to use it on. There’s no reason to shy away from any job, no matter how tough.
Simple Operation – Keeping it simple is one of the keynotes of the Bissell brand, and the 1940 PowerFresh is no exception. Three steam settings, a foot pedal to operate the scrubber, and the ability to change out your water container in under a minute makes this a product that won’t cause frustration or make a mess. One of the biggest issues people often have with steamers is the water changing process, which usually lends itself to a lot of potential mishaps, but the PowerFresh makes it as simple as one, two, three. The removable, machine washable mop cuts down the need to buy replacements or haphazardly clean the mop head.
There’s really no wondering how the Bissell 1940 PowerFresh Steam Mop got its five star rating on Amazon, or earns rave reviews from customers. Affordable, powerful, versatile, durable and reliable, you’ll be hard pressed to find a product that can do what it does for the money. If you’re looking for one of the best mops for hardwood floor on the market, then look no further.
