  1. I think everyone's on vacation. Maybe mentally if not physically. I can't believe we are not hearing the gunfire and smelling the smoke of roast lizard over this. I couldn't believe how abjectly it was ignored when Bloomberg published it, but now that it's in OFFICIAL black and white and with such staggering numbers... well....

    Do you think I should go all harridan about this or use the energy to become perfectly enlightened?

  4. I really AM a silly girl. I let the Kirby salesmen into my house tonight so I could get my rug cleaned. I have known for most of my life it is NOT worth it, they hassle you so much, but I did it anyway... so loath am I to vacuum. Gave me the chance to talk to a young man planning to go into the Army, warn him that what he THINKS is an ironclad contract is going to turn into toilet paper the minute they've got him... counseled him on how to deal with bears and mountain lions, this being his first trip out of the city in his entire eighteen years of life. We were having a darn good time until his "team leader" came in to close the deal.

    I cleaned his clock. Little prick.

    They may have gotten a lot of deep down dirt out of my rug, but basically, it doesn't look much better now than when they started. I'm taking refuge in lowered allergen count... albeit not enough lowered to make a difference, I'm sure.

  5. We have one of those bagless HEPA wonders. The thing is amazing - sucks the dust right out of everything - best at cleaning of anything I've ever had.

    But then comes the cleaning of the machine...

    Dump the container - no big deal there but...

    Remove the air diffuser and knock the dust out of it...
    Remove the filter module and take off the foam filter, knock the dust out of it...
    Take the HEPA filter, knock the dust out of it...
    Take the motor filter, knock the dust out of it...
    Extract one's self from the Haboob you have created surrounding the garbage can...
    Go take bath, rinse the mud down the drain!

  6. Right. Just so. Peggy and Jim have a house with a bunch of outlets for the vacuum hose. They just suck it all out of the house to I have no clue where.
