Mother's Day vacuum

[RecycleMichael]

There was a sticker on the front page of my home-delivered Tulsa World today promoting a Mother's Day special on an Oreck vaccum.

If I bought my mother (or my wife) a vacuum for Mother's day, she would kill me, burn my body, and use the vacuum to clean up the ashes.

I'm getting mine a fridge.

We buy each other "needed" items for mother's day, V day, fathers day etc.  Otherwise you end up with tons of crap you don't need nor want.  I got a chainsaw for father's day.  Actually, I got the right to buy a chainsaw.

Seems like a good system to us.

I bought mine an iPhone.

Depending on your level of nerdiness, that is either a need or a want.

I'm going to get my wife an Iron.  Actually she already has one, I'm just going to get her another as a hint.

I may not be able to post here again after Mother's day.  It's hard to type with broken fingers.

we do the same thing as well.  It works for us quite well also.

But it's one of those Oreck's.  Famous for quality and weighs only 8 pds.  Everytime Mom has to drag the vacuum around she'll be blessing you for getting her something so easy to manage.

In fact I want one.  Please.  Come on.  Get me one.

Mine is begging me for a vacuum for M-Day.  She wants a Dyson though...

A Dyson will make you sick with how much it picks up. We have the the ball version for Animals and I think could have made many sweaters with all of the hair that I have collected with the dyson.

She might like it better if you slap an Apple sticker on the side and tell her it's an "iRon."

I bought an Oreck about 10 years ago. It really sucks.

Nice.  I assume an iRon plays music while you use it?

I have had an Old School metal top Sanitaire janitorial vacuum for 10 years.  It is a beast and the thing won't die.

One never knows when they want to pick up a bowling ball with a vacuum...
