First, what I hate. 

Google keeps us from using our heads.  It solves problems for us.  In my view, it makes conversation much less stimulating.  When we are having a good discussion and an issue arises, someone inevitably pulls out a phone and asks Google to chime in with what may or may not be a useful answer. 

Unfortunately, it often is useful. 

On the other hand, Google is also a godsend.   Take the other night.  I decided that I couldn’t live another minute with the four square indentations in my bedroom rug, a result of moving a chest of drawers about two inches. 

Google suggested that I fill the indentations with ice cubes and let them melt for several hours (up to 12).  After that, I was to dry any damp spots and fluff up the affected part of the rug with the back of a spoon. 

I did as suggested and in the morning, the ice had melted and dried.  I scraped at the spots with a tablespoon.  There is now a complete lack of indentations in my bedroom rug. 

Like I said, I have a love-hate relationship with Google

    How satisfying!
    I wonder if it would do the same where a very heavy table has put four deep square indentations into a vinyl kitchen floor?
