It’s a bird, it’s a plane…no, it’s a Whirlpool® Fabric Freshener

Hello, my name is Webmiss and I work for Whirlpool Corporation. Phew, there I said it. I think I’ve been blogging now for roughly 2 years and I have been so scared to reveal any details about myself on the web but now, now you all know the truth.

Today Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m going to tell you about this awesome appliance Whirlpool® makes called the Fabric Freshener.

The Whirlpool Fabric Freshener

I don’t own one of these yet, but they have one at work that we’ve all been able to get a hands on feel for and; the verdict is: I.Love.It!

I’m sure there are plenty of people in this world that do laundry just like I do. I wash my clothes, throw them in the dryer and then just forget about them. When Monday rolls around and I’m looking for something to wear to work all my shirts and pants are wrinkled. I groan and roll my eyes because I now have a choice; either I break out the iron and go to town tackling wrinkles or I throw the clothing items back in the dryer for about 10 minutes. Either way this is a now win situation for me. I either spend the rest of the morning ironing and lose valuable time getting ready and potentially arrive late for work, or I throw them in the dryer and then my clothes are so warm when I put them on that I start to sweat and give my Degree antiperspirant a chance to live up to it’s name. TMI, I know, but I’m trying to make a point here people; I’m LAZY. That’s where the wonder that is the Whirlpool® Fabric Freshener comes in. If I had one of these puppies I could put my clothes inside, press a button and voila!

Just imagine, while I have been in the shower, brushing my teeth, and washing my face, my clothes have been having a relaxing and rejuvenating experience inside the Fabric Freshener. When the 30 minutes are up, I just remove them from the appliance and they are looking AND smelling great, just like moi! I’m happy, my clothes are happy and hi ho hi ho it’s off to work I go.

This doesn’t have to be just a dream. Great smelling, wrinkle free clothes could be a reality thanks to Whirlpool®.

I spent a little time on our website www.Whirlpool.comresearching the benefits of a Fabric Freshener so I could make an informed blog post. I didn’t realize that the Fabric Freshener had been selected in 2006 by the Good Housekeeping Institute for a “Good Buy” award. 

“The Fabric Freshener’s combination of heat and steam helps relax wrinkles from common fabrics like wool, silk, polyester, rayon and cotton, and tackles odors from smoke, food, pets and perfume. Because the Fabric Freshener uses no chemicals or detergents — just water –clothing will look new longer.

The Fabric Freshener delivers convenience even down to its design. Compact and portable, it’s an ideal fit for nearly every living situation. When fully upright, the Fabric Freshener stands approximately 58-in. high, 33-in. wide and 12-in. deep. When not in use, the unit can be collapsed to the size of a small vacuum (approximately 10-in. high, 33-in. wide and 12-in. deep) for easy storage and portability.”

Some interesting facts about the Fabric Freshener:

• It’s Eco-Friendly: Employing a patented steam technology system using only water* instead of harmful chemicals
• It’s Cost Effective: The machine uses only a small amount of water*and electricity. Keep your clothes looking newer longer by using the Fabric Freshener instead of washing before wearing.
• It’s irreplaceable: It removes odors, relaxes wrinkles and will dry your delicate fabrics; no more trips to the dry cleaners.

I can hardly believe it. We finally have a date for Mr. Nascar’s parole hearing.

02-25-2009

I’m so scared, and yet at the same time it is such a relief to know…something, anything. I have finished his parole packet. I am just waiting on some letters that I sent out to be signed and returned to me.

Please keep your fingers and toes crossed for us!

Oh the wonders of the World Wide Web

In my internet travels this evening, I ran across a blog written by a young woman. She is a vegan and blogs not only about her life, but the food that she loves to eat, and even posts pictures & recipes of the vegan food she prepares. She has come up with a little blog challenge that I really thought was incredibly thoughtful. Please go and check out this specific post on what she wants for Christmas. She has offered to donate 20 cents to the ENOUGH Project for each comment that is left on her blog on that specific post. That’s all you have to do, just go and make a little comment and the charity will be getting some money. So go forth people, and comment!

Opinions please

I need to see if you all could do me a favor. Proof read the support letter that I will be sending in on Mr. Nascar’s behalf and please give me your honest opinion. I have not mailed it out yet, so I still have time for revisions.

RE: Parole Hearing of  Mr. Nascar

Tennessee Board of Probation and Parole
Address to some strange building
Nashville, TN

 
Honorable Members of the Parole Board:

My name is Webmiss, and I am the fiancée of Mr. Nascar,  inmate # 123456. I am writing today to show my support for a favorable decision in the matter of his parole hearing.

Mr. Nascar has been incarcerated since July 2008 for a technical violation of probation. Prior to this he had been thriving as a productive member of society. While on community corrections, Mr. Nascar was able to accomplish something that not many men with a felony conviction are able to do, he started his own business, Mr.Nascar’s Special Service. Mr. Nascar’s Special Service  is partnered with www.somewebsite.com, a division of SomeCompany. Through this partnership, Mr.Nascar’s business is referred clients who are doing business related things, that Mr.Nascar assists them with.

The remainder of his business comes from proactively marketing his services through online market places such as Craigslist.org and from referrals from Mr. Nascar’s satisfied customers. The business has thrived under Mr. Nascar’s ownership and management. Mr. Nascar wasn’t content just to sit back and supervise, he was present on nearly every job. His attention to detail and his friendly rapport with his customers garnered him a very positive reputation within the industry. For your reference, I have enclosed the (professional references). Those two documents will highlight the number of jobs that were scheduled with Mr. Nascar’s Special Service for those two months. Also, I have provided print offs from Mr. Nascar last customer reviews and as you can see, the customers were very satisfied with the services Mr. Nascar provided them. Even though Mr. Nascar has been incarcerated 5 months at the time of this letter, his phone continues to ring daily with job requests from people who have been referred to his company. Unfortunately we have had to shut down the business and turn those potential customers away.

In addition to his own business, Mr. Nascar was employed full-time by (name and company information removed). On most weekends he could also be found at different sporting events around the county, contracted by companies such as ESPN, Fox Sports, NASCAR and Raycom Sports to set up their audio and visual equipment.

Mr. Nascar has not been idle with his time on Community Corrections. He has actively sought to grow his business, and in doing so has employed men who were going through treatment at E. M. Jellinek Center in Knoxville. Mr. Nascar could empathize with them and understood that part of their successful introduction back into society was having someone believe in them and give them a chance. Mr. Nascar was that someone. He was able to train these men and provide them with an opportunity to learn a useful skill and get back on their feet, reducing the likelihood that they would turn back to their addiction and be at risk to re-offend. Mr. Nascar has also been faithful to his community service. Weekly he collected aluminum cans, turning them in for money and then donating that money to the Ronald McDonald house.

Mr. Nascar is a good person who unfortunately made poor choices in his past that have continued to negatively impact his life. Since his original sentencing, Mr. Nascar has come a very long way. With the help of his friends and loved ones he has been able to find purpose in his life, and turn away from the road he had been traveling. Consequently, Mr. Nascar has been making better, more positive choices in his life.

While his technical violation of his probation is indeed a setback, it is not an insurmountable one. I believe that together, Mr. Nascar and I have a plan to ensure his continued success as a member of society. We have thought long and hard about where we both want our lives to go and I am positive that our mutual goals will propel us toward a happier, healthier future. I believe in Mr. Nascar, and I believe in the two of us. I feel confident that I will be able to provide a safe, supportive, and loving atmosphere in which we will both be able to thrive. I am willing to attend the Celebrate Recovery classes at Cokesbury together with him, as well as take whatever steps are necessary to love and support him.

Honorable Board Members, I implore you to please take the time to consider the information that I have provided in this packet before making your final judgment. I sincerely hope that you will see the steps that Mr. Nascar has taken to right the wrongs of his past and that you will give him, and us, another chance.

I appreciate your time and attention in this matter.

Respectfully yours,

 Webmiss

Gosh it’s hard trying to type this out and remain mostly anonymous. I hope you were able to get the gist of what I was trying to say. Please be brutally honest, I want to ensure that I have made the most of my letter and that it will be as helpful as possible to Mr. Nascar.

Thanks ladies & gents.
