Household money-saving tips and tricks that make life easier.
The makers of the "Pooch Power Shovel" have given us their new
cordless vacuum that cleans up your dog's mess. We're looking for two LUCKY
people to each try it out and write 200 word reviews that we'll publish here.
One of you will get to keep it. You'll have to flip a coin or find a
way to decide who the winner is.
Note: When it comes to the machine itself, it appears there's no clean-up involved, (the waste goes straight into a plastic bag according to the promotional video below) so the No. 2 Tester shouldn't have a messy machine to deal with.
Requirements:
1. You have to be able to pick up the machine at the Observer or from
the other user.
2. You'll need to send a jpeg photo of you and your dog.
3. Write a clear, easy to understand 200-word review, and stick to
that word count. We'll want to know how it well it worked, and whether
you thought it was worth the retail price of $100.
Email clever@charlotteobserver.com and tell us why we should pick you
to do the test and review.
Deadline: 5 p.m. Tuesday.

From Reader Frieda Mundt, in Concord:
When I buy a new cell phone, I paint all the numbers with two coats of clear nail polish. This prevents the numbers and letters from wearing off from texting and dialing.
