Amazing
I sit in amazement sometimes when Husband tells me what he and his co-workers discuss. Yesterday I presented Husband with the argument that I should just go to le Mart de Wal and get a Dirt Devil for $60, since I have birthday and Christmas money...somehow I can't see spending $400 on another vacuum.
Oh yeah, did I mention we cancelled the Kirby and sent it back? Yeah, the salesman came Saturday afternoon to get it...and gave me a rash of shit for not keeping it. And he yelled at me for not packing it up right, and not wiping it down with Windex.
Piss on that. With the $1700 (I'm not kidding) I spent on that Kirby I could have gotten at least two Dysons!
Plus that wanker woke Daughter up from her nap. So beware the Kirby people.
So, anyway, it was like Husband took a poll at work of vacuum cleaner owners. One said his Dirt Devil was crap, and the boss said he really liked his Dyson.
One would think vacuum cleaners would be a subject the women would hash over, but I guess this isn't always the case. I still haven't made up my mind, though.
I have a pretty damn good life if all I have to worry about is a vacuum cleaner!

I've wanted a Dyson since I saw their commercial. The thing looks soooo cool. ;) It's kind of like having to pick between a Mustang and a Focus.
I've got to get a new one soon, and I'm thinking of the ole faithful Dirt Devil as well. As long as it sucks, no big to do I guess.
SPeaking as a man with regard to vacuum cleaners:
It's a piece of machinery, therefore, it is worthy of discussion.

One thing is for sure, I will not get another Kenmore. Pain in the butt.
Hee, hee, I like Brian's comment.
