Need help finding a gadget



Recommended Posts

You'd think someone named "gadgetlady" would be able to find it but . . .

I'm looking for a product I've seen in catalogs before but now I can't find it. It's a round glider or slider that you put under heavy furniture so you can move it easily. It's about the size of the circle made when you put your thumbs together and your pointer fingers together. It appeared to be dark wood or dark plastic and has some kind of wheels within it. It's not something that needs to be attached to furniture, like a castor, but rather something you just put the furniture on top of. I've searched "castor" and "glider" online and can't find it.

We're replacing our floor and I have an EXTREMELY heavy desk and would like to not have to find 4-5 guys to help me out next time I want to move it.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide!

Thanks, ladies! That's not exactly what I WAS looking for but I found a company that makes a similar product and I called the manufacturer directly. I think they'll be a good substitute. They are the ones that QVC carries but QVC doesn't have the exact thing I need.

Thanks, Mandy. I was looking for something specifically for wood floors. I found it at EZ Moves furniture slides. Our furniture sliders make moving easy.. They have a new product which isn't even listed on their website yet that they made specifically for wood. I ordered it today, overnight shipping, so it'll be here tomorrow when the wood flooring is done. I'm so excited! No more yucky carpet :-D

I just bought something similar at Lowe's. I moved a really big entertainment center. They worked like a charm.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
