Not only does your machine SUCK, but it BLOWS too !!

That was one of the things that made me buy it. I've had vacuums that had an exhaust you could hook the hose to, and although it's rarely used, it can be quite handy. Of course, you have to be careful where you aim the deflector, because it can scatter all those bills you had lined up to pay.

My "grass is greener" observation:
I used to HATE Valentine's Day. Invented by merchants. So you only demonstrate your love on this day? What about the other 361?

But, now that I'm single again, I miss having someone. Maybe by NEXT Valentine's Day.

You have to be a bit careful that "I love you" doesn't become just something you say out of habit. It's easy to do, especially after several years of togetherness. So special occasions are good things, even if this is really an occasion for Hallmark to sell greeting cards, Whitman's to sell candy, and FTD to sell flowers.

Mom had a Kirby. I still remember how to empty it.
1. Lay out a big square of newspaper.
2. Center the vacuum on the newspaper.
3. Undo the latch on the trap door beneath the bag.
4. Shake out the cat hair and dust.
5. Shake it again. Hard.
6. Yell for someone to bring a knitting needle.
7. Use the button end of the knitting needle to drag out the clog of cat hair.
8. Shake the vacuum some more.
9. Put the vacuum down on the edge of the paper square.
10. Relatch the trap door.
11. Roll the cat hair and dust up in the newspaper.

I'll let you empty my Dyson some day. It's a little less complicated. For the rest, they're comparably effective machines. They both suck.

We did away with carpet when we built the new house, laminate floors and tile throughout the house, which also eliminated the need for a vacuum cleaner. I have a Shop Vac, which can be used in the house if needed, but is generally used to clean up sawdust and to vacuum the automobiles. I also use it to clean up that little line of dust that you can never quite get into the dust pan after sweeping the floors. Sometimes I use it in place of a dustpan, just vacuum up the pile. I've noticed that a lot of the dust in the dustpan tends to go airborne while transporting the dustpan from the floor to the receptacle. The vacuum takes care of that problem.

I certainly hope so, 'cuz I'd hate to have to stalk ya.

Selma, our Kirby has a replaceable bag inside the cloth bag. It can be used without, but it's not as efficient. With the bag, it's no more difficult to deal with than any other vacuum cleaner.

Aha. I was reading your post too literally, since you were only talking about V-Day.

That's what I get.......

Just a mo - correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Hannukah 8 days, and Christmas 12?
Looks like the lunar year is more accurate after all.
