Vacuuming Day 3
It looks like we are continuing the nonstop excitement of vacuuming for yet a 4th day tomorrow. I must say that if Lynn is attempting to bore us to death, she is doing an excellent job.
The first vacuum I owned for myself, I purchased when I was just out of college. It was a portable vacuum with many attachments. I loved that vacuum. There were attachments that could get you suction in almost every place imaginable (keep your mind out of the gutter). Alas, the vacuum met a tragic fate. Shortly after I got married, my wife loaned the vacuum to her step-sister-in-law and it never returned. From that point on I have had to live with vacuums that I have not chosen myself and spots in the house that will never again receive the suction of a vacuum. You know you never forget your first vacuum. The one we have now is an Oreck. Good suction. Piss poor attachments.

I love that you're countering the vacuum non-arc with vacuum tales of your own. :)
When we moved five years ago, we stored a bunch of our things at my parents' house in their attic. One of them was our vacuum. It's the kind where there's a turtle-like "body" that you drag around with a hose attached. When we went to retrieve it, we discovered my father had taken it to his weekend cabin (thinking of it as a "spare" they just happened to have) and gave us some random upright they also had. We still haven't made the trade-back, not that the upright is so great. But our other vacuum did take up a lot of space. One of these days, we need to get it back though!
qnjones,
I love you too. Let me know what you decide about the Israeli mob thing. I may post a little something to add to the intrigue.
Adrianne and aprilp_katje,
Thanks for the vacuuming love.
qnjones,
First couple of posts are done, with what I hope is enough ambiguity to give you room to do whatever you would like to do.
