It's funny, as I was looking at it, with the bag assembly taken apart, I realized that there aren't many vacuum manufacturers that make them the way Kirby's are made. Every little part is made so that it can be replaced. If this would have been a Dirt Devil, at this point, I would be expected to throw it away and buy another one.

This reminds me of an episode from "Friends".

I used to like going before work, it was a good way to wake up. I rode a bike to work for a couple of years in Canada, but here I'm pretty sure riding a bike would be a surefire way to either a heart attack, or death by bad driver.

You're so cute, Dave.

you guys are very encouraging, especially since i'm determined to go to the gym regularly this summer it's irrational and stupid, but i'm always self-conscious in a gym. it doesn't help that they mostly advertise with fit people @_@

Just remember to wear your spandex and do your hair and makeup, seems to work for all the girls at my gym

I went back to the gym for the first time in years and the gay guy who runs it ummed and arrrrred for a couple of seconds and typed in my membership number first go. I was a regular eight years ago!

Well guess you made an impression on him, did he tell you you didn't need the gym?

It's different when you are old and fat and married. Nobody is looking, actively avoiding looking!

And it is to be expected that the old fat chick slips a little poot with every rep, sort of like a stinky oomph-pa-pa band soundtrack. It ain't Olivia Newton John's "Physical" anymore!

I consider myself to be a cautionary lesson at the gym.

My (super sized) kitten is teething! Apparently she really is only 4-5 months old -- and her adult teeth are starting to erupt! She is chewing on everything! Especially the rawhide lacings on my slippers! And Goldie's ears! And the wooden table leg! Yikes!

i'm not there to look, just to do something this summer :P
but it's a local gym, so it's usually full of married folk around the area, and maybe some kids.

I'm beginning to wonder just what I brought home! Good thing she's got such a sweet disposition. It's hilarious to watch her try to play with the adult cats like a kitten would - she runs up and jumps on their heads! Fortunately all are getting along now.

One of Tim's nephews brought home a gang of bobcat kittens that he found in the woods. We lived just beside them at the time, very close. It was so entertaining to watch them kitties through their sliding glass door. His wife got rid of them when she got tired of those godzilla kittens chewing up their clothes and furniture!

At least the tree is down though...

This morning I discovered one of my woofers in an expensive speaker floor set I have is smashed and ripped. I suspect the little girl who came with my son's last girlfriend. I believe she hid Norton's toys in in it, despite my telling her not to.
