I vacuum every day but I have two pugs.... little old ladies that have become floor pillows. They take care of the giblets, but it just doesn't feel clean if I don't do it.<br />I have two Dysons but I have shared that drivel with you before I think. Goes back to the shoulder deal. BTW, I love me some drivel. Some days I think ...do I just love to hear myself talk?- or do I really have a lot of interesting things to share!

I have just 4 area rugs, no bigger than 5' x 7.' I prefer to see, and walk on, the unadorned hardwood floors. And we have no pets and no kids. So there just ain't a lot of vacuumin' goin' on over here. But brooms and dustmops?

It's just bagless, and it makes little sense to me why anyone would want a bagless. You filter out all of the alergens only to dump them into the garbage, beat out the filter and have them all end right back up in your face.Patty Pattersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02963555227831970190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-2196729877654777182010-10-26T22:43:45.178-05:002010-10-26T22:43:45.178-05:00Did I tell you I have that exact model?

And the hair, that fine puppy hair, rolls along the floor when you walk by like tumbleweeds in the desert. After six years with no dog I forgot what it was like to have one that sheds and brings in little bits of leaves and other outdoor garden tidbits in between her paws. So I pay homage to my vacuum, and so does Madigan, the puppy. Every time I bring it out she wags her tail like a propeller and loves it up. I even have it on video, it's a hoot. But I'm like you Jaymie when I am finished vacuuming I feel satisfied, complete somehow that my house is also in order.<br />DonnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-35708810707425300322010-10-26T18:01:11.199-05:002010-10-26T18:01:11.199-05:00I've shared many things with you Jayme, but I ...I've shared many things with you Jayme, but I don't think you know the real me.

I used to do the very same thing!! I wish more people would go about flea erradication in a more responsible manner like you are. There's no short cut, and vacuuming is the best way to stir up the little boogers to get rid of them. Bombs don't work, they just spew messy poison, and never in the places where the varmints are hiding. I just found out last week that they make Frontline for cats, and all five of mine got a dose this morning. We'll see how it works.<br /><br />ConnieConnie in Hartwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127877285792861166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-86639756183972719722010-10-26T10:35:23.942-05:002010-10-26T10:35:23.942-05:00You're too funny.

My mom was a vacuum fiend, just like you. I shouldn't saw was, I guess she is. She had a big ol fern plant in her living room and it drove her nuts if the tiniest little leaf fell on the floor. She just looooved the look of the vacuum lines on the floor. We would love to drive our little tractors in the carpet making fields and Mom would immediately vacuum them up. I guess she passed it down a bit when I told my husband to walk up the side of the stairs because I had just vacuumed them and company was coming. He just laughed and asked me I wanted him to levitate up the stairs.<br /><br />Lady, I have a thirteen month old daughter and am not sure how I'm going to do this---make peace with the giblets and all! :)Cheyennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02216810837548735987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-36829233290220976832010-10-26T10:26:43.038-05:002010-10-26T10:26:43.038-05:00the comment about sucking cracked me up:) Will yo...the comment about sucking cracked me up:) Will you come to my house vaccuum??Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10041240496017131851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-65040982333292413152010-10-26T10:15:15.480-05:002010-10-26T10:15:15.480-05:00Oreck Sisters UNIT!!

I was a little worried you were a "Dyson" girl. I have a friend that's a Dyson lover. Never liked the canister vacs myself. This house is vacuum daily but I have 3 teenagers that take on that chore. We've had a bout with the fleas this spring. The thought of it makes my skin crawl. I think I've sprayed enough chemicals on this house to kill all of the fleas in the county. I'm quite obsessive about it too. Everything in my house was torn apart, sprayed, vacuumed, washed, powdered, shaved etc. about three times. I had Mr. D hose down the yard about 4 times and I feel like I want to do it again just for fun. No, really...the thought of those little crazies coming back...well, I don't need to tell you. Poor dogs still get a hose down with some spray before they go outside just in case! Now that I've successfully got myself itching and twitching...it may be a good day to shave the dogs!Heather Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592515928814948855noreply@blogger.com
