Gone are the days where women have no place in the boardroom, the operating room or the court room -- yet, when it comes to personal finances, a surprising number of women still leave this chore to their husbands. And while it's a good idea to divide household chores such as laundry and mowing the lawn, both halves of a couple should be aware of their complete financial portfolio, including investments, savings and debt.
PS1 Gloria Sebastian poses for a picture outside of the Fisher House near National Naval Medical Center where she stayed while receiving treatment for cancer.Volunteers help the staff at the facilities create a comfortable environment. These volunteers donate their time to aid service members and their families with day-to-day tasks.Typically, the temporary lodging facilities, known as Fisher Houses are 5,000-to 16,000-square-foot homes donated by Fisher House Foundation. Each house is designed to provide eight to 21 suites. All are professionally furnished and decorated in the tone and style of the local region. The houses can accommodate anywhere from 16 to 42 family members. They feature a common kitchen, laundry facilities, a spacious dining room and an inviting living room with a library and toys for children.When Steve and Deborah Romano's son, Aviation Maintenance Administrationman [2.sup.nd] Class Steve Romano Jr., was diagnosed with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) they did not know what to do.Retired Senior Chief Journalist Cynthia Panzani and her husband Rino have been using the Fisher House facilities worldwide since 1991.Cochran crafted her financial message in story form to make it more relevant and easier to understand, which helps readers recognize their own weaknesses when it comes to finances and gives them the tools to conquer this unknown territory. Her website, www.StarrCochran.com , provides interactive forms and information that complement her book and further help readers explore financial and business issues.During one of the Panzani's visits to the Fisher House, Rino recalled the selfless actions of the faculty's staff and other guests that he says, "made me feel like family."The real protein problem usually arises from our pets. Most of our pets throw up their food which is primarily a Protein base. These pet accidents can quickly turn our beloved soft haired carpet into a visual tapestry of pet throw up, urine stains and other digestive processes that I do not like to think about. Often, these stains will permanently affix themselves and become part of the wool fiber. Another source of protein comes from the food we eat. Baby food may have a high protein concentrate and if applied to your wool carpet it may become a sentimental remembrance of your child's baby years. Wool is considered the finest carpet fiber in the world and if I did not have pets and small children I would seriously consider the expense.You also have to be very careful not to get bleach on your wool carpet. Bleach will actually cause the wool fiber to dissolve and leave you with a hole in the middle of your carpet.This means that putting wool carpets in a laundry room may not be the best of ideas. Many over the counter cleaners have a small amount of bleach in them. The advantages of wool carpet include that it feels soft, holds color very well, wears well, soil resistant, cleans well and it is naturally non flammable. The wool fiber is also very elastic and it can expand 3 to 4 times its' size. This helps the wool fiber be naturally durable.
