Easy, you wet them and there's no dust in the air.

Not kidding though, you guys probably don't notice it anymore but when you enter a place, any place that is carpeted you can right away smell it and feel you're breathing dust. It's not only places that are not as clean, all of them have a smell, and they try to cover it with perfume. Aren't you guys supposed to be rich? Good, put some real floor on. I'd recommend marble, that's what I've got in my place. It doesn't have to be 6ftx6ft pieces like I have.


Lol. Marble is fucking expensive and carpet helps insulate rooms. I know in Mexico you don't get below freezing much, but having marble or even wood floors in winter sucks.

Also, there're these things called carpet shampooers, they're pretty cheap nowadays.

well I use parquet floor. much nicer than carpet and it's never cold to step on it even bare footed. carpet is a pain in the ass, unless you change it every 3-4 years and you wash it constantly + you always remove your shoes at home... not to mention the stains each time you spill something.

I live in an appartment, so your neighbours's appartments already kind of heat your place. i got tiles in the kitchen/dining room and the ground isn't really ever cold. Also, I don't know in which part of the US you live in, but it's most likely much colder than paris in winter (but it's just an assumption)

Pacific Northwest. But I grew up on wood heat. We didn't have gas or electric heat. Trying to heat an entire house from one stove is difficult.

betiko wrote:niet, is that true about coca cola in mexico? i heard it was a real national health issue. The firm gives free fridges and tons of coca cola goodies to local deli stores. In many region you can't drink tap water and bottled water is more expensive than coke.



Yep. I think it's an education problem. Not so much trouble for previous generations that drank coke in the afternoon and from little bottles, but then the big sizes arrived and they started to drink it like in the US and gave them to the kids.

I used to drink more coke when i was younger. Mainly because we own a grocery store and when i was there I'd just open one whenever i wanted. Now i rarely drink it, and when i do i clearly notice the effect it has on my stomach.

The problem with carbonated drinks is that, besides the sugar spike and empty carbs, they actually make your stomach bigger over time and you feel like you need to eat more.

And yes, cocacola gives fridges to everyone who wants to sell their products. We have a reach in fridge and we dont have them but if we asked for one we could have it in a couple of days.

You can make more money with cocacola products than with beer actually, given the amount of people that drinks sodas multiple times a day. And the profit margin is higher, since beer companies have their own stores everywhere and they fix the sort of fix the final price.

I dont have marble floors you gullible american. But ceramic tile is not that expensive, lasts much longer and you can actually keep it clean.

And if you get cold in the winter then get off your ass and cook a hot chicken broth.

Here in europe it s pretty much frawned upon to drink soda while you eat. Just water and wine, eventally sparkling water. I really feel like crap when I drink soda while I eat. I remember that when i was in a US university, the Dinning commons had nothing but soda with all you can drink fountains. You had to ask for water! Crazy.
I really think those drinking habits are the main cause of obesity, not what people eat.

Wood floors aren't cold, they are very nice on the feet. Carpets suck and trap dirt and stains. Carpet in the bathroom or kitchen is disgusting and probably qualifies as toxic waste.

Chris Pond, just so you know, it's etc. not ect. A lot of people do that and it drives me crazy. Yes, I am a grammar Nazi.

It stands for et cetera, that's why it's etc.

We have polished wood floors in the bedrooms, bathroom, toilet and kitchen; carpet in the open plan lounge and dining area.

I agree that in areas where spills and dirt is common carpet is gross, but in a your living area, assuming you have a decent vacuum cleaner and aren't a slob, then carpet is great. It's a lot more "comfortable" than hard flooring.

I have laminated wood floor in my bedroom, over tile. I installed it myself, and it was very cheap. It has lasted more than I thought.

I've seen both awesome wood floors and awful wood floors. It seems to depend on how much $$ you put in them. What I do hate is when they make noise in ever step.
