Have you considered Dyson? sm

We have had a Dyson for about four or five years now, and I adore it.  You just would not believe what all it picks up.  Hubby and I both have allergies AND indoor cats, and if we use the Dyson as often as we should, we can tell a significant difference.  We bought ours after trying a friends.  They are lighter weight than the Rainbows and Kirbys, and also have an added advantage of being significantly cheaper.  Just a thought.

I've had a Dyson now for oh, 4-5 years, just the plain old base model, and it is beyond fabulous.  You know how the "big" vacuum sales people will come in and do demos in your house, getting more dirt than you knew existed out of things you thought were clean?  Well, my Dyson does that...and it cost a whole lot less.  I'd put it up against a Kirby or Rainbow any day. 

Hope this helps.

I have one of the original ones, and then bought another one a few months ago, the newer animal model.  I have a 3 story house so it's nice not to have to lug the vacuum up and down stairs all the time.  They are by far the best vacuum you can buy and well worth the money.

is it okay to spank as long as you only do it 3 times? or maybe if you only hit on the bottom? or maybe you "spank" with a belt? or whatever other object you can get your hands on?

The problem with spanking is some adults don't know when to stop.  I, too, was beaten with a belt as a child and I have never laid a belt to my children and never will.  Spanking with a belt is BEATING.  I was "slapped" across the face numerous times as a child for speaking out of turn, and to this day, I still wince when my mom gets upset and raises a hand.  It's not respect for my parents that I have in these instances, its fear.  It's a shame that too many adults have come to confuse the two.

Like living together, sex outside of marriage, even using birth control of any kind, depending on your religious beliefs.  Yet all grocery stores carry magazines and tabloids that report on celebrities and other people doing those things and more, and books (fiction and nonfiction) with that kind of thing.  Why are those books and magazines with hetero sins any different from the ones with homosexuality?  Isn't sin, sin?  And it's everywhere, so how far do you want to take your boycott?  I really do respect your opinion and your right to it.  I just don't quite understand it. 

I don't understand why some people seem to have such a seething *hatred* of homosexuals.  I mean, gay people are just people, like anybody else.  Some good, some bad.  I don't want to know what they do in the privacy of their own home, but I don't want to know what hetero people do in the privacy of their own home, either!  Either way, as long as it's two consenting adults, why would I care?  It's none of my business. 

BTW, I just saw Brokeback Mountain on HBO for the first time the other night.  I thought it was heartbreaking.  To think that two people who love each other so much could never really be together.  How is that okay?  (Yes, I know it was fiction, but it happens/has happened in reality.)  I just think that's so incredibly sad.  Don't we need more love in this world?

Okay, off my soapbox!
