    I hope everyone here enjoyed this. LOL

    Learn how to change the dust collection bag and change it before the bag is full. I have found new vacuum cleaners in the local dump…completely full of dirt and in operational condition after replacing the full bag in the vac.

    Any luck finding cars needing an overdue oil change ?

    Or an empty bank account record, that just needed updating?
    digger

    Or a Kirby cleaner with bent-out metal parts.

    Dyson...plastic.

    were they good brand, Robert, or just rip-offs ?

    I have 3 operational Kirbys with all the parts. There are always plastic junk vacs that are tossed when folks discover their 20 year old vac needs a new hose or belt…and it is so old and funky that replacing it with that the advertised bag-less as seen on TV seems like a good idea. Of course I have the good stuff, a1952 General Electric toaster. If I find one in the dump, I clean, polish and fix it to look like a new toaster and sell it for $35 to $50 dollars as a restored toaster. Old, restored appliances sell very well. Its just a sideline for me. But there really is a gold mine in every dump.

    @rg..I sure believe that.

    Hopefully they all suck!  There are some that have more abilities than others, some with hepa filters, some with more attachments.  Oreck will pick up bowling balls, if you have those on your floor!

    I always have those lying around my floor. lol
    digger

    Does it pick up bocce balls?
    bustieone


    Sure, any, even cannon balls!
    digger

    Great, I'll take one. Can you have it shipped to Ducky's brother-in-law...uh, I mean 30-year repairman friend to have it
    "road tested" ?

    @digger...How much time did you spend in the sun?
    digger

    More than I should have. Can you smear some Noxema on my back?
    Ducky

    Moderator
    No. Ask your equally sunburned companion! I feel no sympathy.

    I like the one with the ball instead of the traditional wheels or rollers. I don't own one, nor do I do the vacuuming but I find the infomercial quite credible.

    Sounds good enough to me!

    If it's the Dyson that you're talking about, a vacuum repair man told me they are NOT good. They are light, which people like, but the reason that they are light, is due to having many parts made of plastic and they break continuously. He said he would never recommend them and that Kirby, even though a little heavy, is a much better buy for the money.

    The choice? Digger and the infomercial or the 30 year repair man?
    digger

    Why would a repairman who makes his living from repairing,recommend a repair-free product? Whatta you think of THAT,Ms.Ducky ?
    FISH-O

    This is one of the many reasons that I live in a 'rug free' environment. I do not have to choose. :)
    digger

    @Fish. You should nonetheless choose me and the infomercial over Ducky's repairman brother-in-law.
    FISH-O

    Will that make me eligible for a free bumper sticker Digger?
    digger

    How 'bout free Duck soup for a year ?
    FISH-O

    Only if you throw in those cute little goldfish crackers as well. ... The extra cheesy ones.
    Ducky

    Moderator
    @digger...Oh he DOES repair them. He makes metal parts to replace the plastic ones. Also, he's been in business for over 30 years, works 50 hours a week doing appliance repairs and COULD work 200 hours a week if he so chose. I wish you could see his shop. Yikes!!
    Ducky

    Moderator
    @digger...Brother-in-law?? No, he's a local business man. I talk with lots of people digger, not only to relatives and "imaginary friends" (like you). :)
    FISH-O

    Digger is imaginary... Mylanta!!! That means no cheesy fish crackers for Moi!
    Ducky

    Moderator
    He IS imaginary Fish! I imagine him to be a nice man but that's because our "imaginary friends" can be whatever we imagine. LOL!!!!!!!
    digger

    @Ducky. Yeah,yeah... I like the Dyson infomercial. In fact, I like ALL infomercials ! Have every excercise gadget ever invented in my basement. Nothing wrong with plastic if you don't abuse the product. READ the instructions BEFORE using ! Plastic is good for the envirenment...and why doesn't your lazy "friend" work 200 hours a week if he's THAT busy. No wonder our country's economy is in the toilet ! RAAAAHHHRRRR !!!
    digger

    @Fishy No more Duck soup for YOU !
    Ducky

    Moderator
    @digger...Are you bored today? Go to your basement and exercise with those gadgets.
    digger

    I miss Raoul, my Cuban bartender/waiter.:-(
    Ducky

    Moderator
    @fish..I can't handle him anymore. You tell him!
    Ducky

    Moderator
    Didn't you get Raoul's email address?
    digger

    I need a drink, not idle email chit-chat.
    Ducky

    Moderator
    You would rather be here, where you can drink AND have meaningful conversations. No point in wasting valuable time.
    FISH-O

    Did Raoul make Pina Coladas? If so, I would like one with my soup and cheesy fish crackers.
    Thanks, sincerely The Vegetarian Fish who is only going to look at the soup and pass it on to her trusty side-kick, Carl ... who is getting really hungry by the way.

    Wow. I'm wanting some soup and a drink! lol
    digger

    @Ducky Relaxing in a shaded Adirondack, in euphoric alcoholic stupor (what a heavenly paradox),...OR....engaging in "meaningful" conversation......I need another drink !
    digger

    Fish, Raoul's Pina Colatas are orgasmic (no,not organic). I even got him to make me a daily ice cube supply from bottled water. He'll do anything for a buck.

    Oh, now that is a vacation. I once had a similar experience in Las Vegas with a group of girlfriends. Sigh, Memories.

    Kirby is a good one but dear to buy,

    Lasts for decades though.

    I'll get back to you once I've asked my wife.

    digger

    I respect Macho men like you.
    YOU tell her.....I mean...ask her.
    Ducky

    Moderator
    Both of you...vacuuming will not cause an early death. Try it sometime.
    digger

    Why risk being the first casualty ?
    Besides she LIKES it.

    Ok digger but at least lift your feet for her.

    Which one?

    Dyson

    digger

    What a connoisseur. TU to you,my rookie friend.

    My wife prefers a Dyson, although she has a cheaper make with a powerful motor which she keeps upstairs, I try not to get involved in that too much , I can make a noise like one.

    Ducky

    Moderator
    Talented. I can do a motor boat.

    Ok, I'm back. Here's the scoop. Very little vacuuming because we have wood or tile floors we use a swifter mostly and I can handle that device just fine. So there Ducky Wockky
