For the last couple of days I haven't been getting my email. This is probably the fault of my antivirus (web protection) program as it updated itself about the same time that I I started having problems getting to the email server. I don't have time to screw with it, so if you've sent me email, now you know that I haven't read it yet.
My vacuum has messed up (it's just days over 2 years old). apparently the bearings have siezed. WS had to fix that. It seems every vacuum I get has a shorter natural life-span. I think I will start buying the cheap vacuums - at least I wouldn't expect those to last very long. I think I would actually average a cheaper cost per year to buy a cheap vacuum every year too.
Had the repairman our for the stove on Friday because we have had problems with it for over a week (not the stove, the gas connection). it didn't help out much to have him out (unless you count helping out his business account cash flow). He couldn't solve the problem, but I finally got the bug worked out on Saturday.
Had to buy a new humidifier (the air gets wicked dry when running the wood stove). There is nothing wrong with the old humidifier except that no one has gotten a stock of water filter/wicks, so I can't run it. The new humidifier doesn't have replaceable filter/wick, so it should save me money in the long run. However, it also doesn't move as much water, so it isn't as effective as the old one. I didn't have much choice in which one I bought though, as that is the only one I could find.
Is it too early in the morning to get some cheese with that whine?
It's not just you. Our vacuums don't last very long either because of all the dog hair they have to deal with. Our last one, a commercial grade Dirt Devil, has lasted the longest so far. 2 yrs & still going strong.
Of course, now that I've said that, it'll prolly die tomorrow.

Would that be a longhorn-style cheddar or Gouda? Sorry about your problems. Use a leaf blower and blow the dirt out the door!

Cop Car - It's not the dirt I am worried about )it can be swept up by a broom), it is the doghair that turns our carpets and furniture black (not to mention tickly).
Rita - I hope you didn't just jinx yourself!
