hey.. I just looked at target.com to check out the Dyson Animal

THere's 3!
DC07
DC15
DC17

I'm assuming the latter is the best cuz it's the latest..

Got my wedding registry on my mind.. =) I hate Oliver's vacuum.
Sigh.. he loves it though!

but I think the temptation of a Dyson will make him ok to part with it.

Holy crap! it's $$$@#$$%.
$499 @ Macy's.

I've been tempted to get one of those Dyson Animal DC-17's myself. $550 at Linen 'n Things. But they always have 20% coupons. Add in they're giving out $50 gift cards too and it's hard to not buy it.

Where are you registered liz, can we see?

I bought mine at bed bath and beyond. they allowed me to use the 20% off coupon!!! We went with the Dyson 17 I believe, 2007 model!! Works great!! No major complaints, just that it does feel a bit "plasticy" We bought ours last feb and nothing has broke!!

My MIL washes her floors by hand. I'd never seen anyone do that before but yeah, I can see how mops would be a breeding ground of germs and such. And as for the Dyson...OMG YES! We want one so bad but gotta wait til we can afford it. Maybe by then the prices will have dropped some.

I'm trying SO HARD not to be a cleanfreak about our new house...but it ain't easy. *sigh*

Not registered anywhere yet!

=) I'm thinking Bed Bath & Beyond and/or Macy's.

I'm working on the save-the-date cards right now.. but in the next week or two, I hope to be officially registered somewhere =)

Has anyone here ever had pizza without cheese? Anyway, I had read something somewhere about someone who ordered their pizza without cheese, so I tried it last night. Ham and Pineapple, pizza hut - no cheese.

Anyway, it's pretty darn good! We usually have Dominoes - so the only down side was that pizza hut has large pieces of ham which, probably due to the lack of cheese, dry out a bit around the edges.

We don't have pizza very often but calories in pizza are so huge I just decided this might be a good way to cut back on some.

Next i'll try it without the crust

(I originally posted this in the heinz ketchup forum, I do not know why)

ahhhhhh coffee! ty

you've been awfully daring lately. what's up with that?

Yes, wild and crazy yahoo!

Must be the thoughts of Florida (or possibly cabin fever during the Canadian winter).

My brother always eats his pizza without the cheese. Come to think of it, he also walks backwards and speaks in tongues.

Maybe we are related!!

Actually I now realize it was in the Recipes thread where I saw this - it was Kimmbo's mom who ordered pizza with no cheese - Kimmbo let your Mom know I think she is on to something

Good morning. I'm having my carpets cleaned today, so have to leave right away. trailmix, I'm glad you liked your pizza, but to tell you honestly, I shivered when I read about a pizza without cheese! I'd pass on pizza if that's the way I'd have to eat it!

Here's your coffee this morning. Hope everyone has a fabulous day!




Carla

Buy a bissel and do it urself!!! I had the chem dry people come and do our carpets when we moved in! They did an ok job! But then I bought a Bissel and wow, a much better job!! And after 2 uses it has paid for itself!!

yay coffee! ty carla!

it's new dvd release day today

Hmmm, the problem with this option is that #1, I'd have to BUY something I don't really want. #2, I only steam clean my carpets once a year (no kids, or pets), and #3, I want to do the least amount of cleaning work I can!

Carla

Im a clean freak! lol

My Mom said a few weeks ago that she was thinking of buying a carpet cleaner - as in a bissell - I said, you really need to buy someone to push it around.

Anyhoo, hope the carpets come out sparkling!

What is 'new DVD release day' charles?

Hi!

I am new to VJ, and I want to thank everybody for their support and their help....


oh wait a minute

I am not new \


But feels like it now cause I don't know what's going on anymore !

You are HERE!!!!! Wonderful... same old crap here at my house.. you didn't miss much!! Except for the self imposed day off i took yesterday

Welcome and Congratulations!!

(nothing really going on)

Welcome to VJ!!

Good luck on your Journey.

Oh well. With me same crap as well!

Work, tired, happy, miss my hubby but oh well, that's real life settling in I guess...

Why are you missing him?

Do you have a day off today? How is the new job anyway, any stories to share?

You have a lot of catching up to do, young lady. *wags finger*

I just emailed you some Florida questions krikit. Just telling you in case you didn't use your main email address for VJ, like me!

Oh and I finally got off hold and the titre test is back. Good-o

Welcome to VJ Mephys!!!!!

I didn't get it, T.

Well rats. I used the 'send email' option on your profile. It was a fantastic email, full of excellent jokes, witty comments, intelligent questions.

I'll send another one, but it won't be as wonderful as that one was.

I will pass that on to my mom, also known at her local pizza place as, "the no cheese lady"..LOL

Oh. I wasn't even aware of that feature. Maybe Ewok's got it set up to send out in scheduled batches and I'll receive at 2 o'clock in the morning.

HOLY SHIZNIT!!!! I've suddenly developed superpowers!!!! I now have the ability to edit every single post I've ever made!!! SHHHHHHH. Don't tell Ewok.

I want super powers too!!!!

I have subpar powers. I'm known as the No-Green Lantern.

hey, subpar powers are still powers!
I can't do anything, fly, x-ray vision, super jump...NADA!

No-Green Lantern....
You need a better name.

Good morning, friends. *munches on Shreddies while waiting for coffee from Carla*

Good morning. Carpet cleaners did a wonderful job. It was all the more better because I didn't have to do it! I've been doing ESL work at a local school for Albanian students. They had a lot of kids that needed assistance, and ended up hiring an ESL teacher. Great I say! Until she got her feet wet, the teacher asked me not to come in until she got "organized". Well, it's been a month now...how long does one need to get organized?? I'm going to phone her today and find out what's up. If she's not interested in my assistance (and why wouldn't someone want assistance for free????) then I'm going to be looking elsewhere.

Here's a hot cuppa.





Carla

Morning Carla! I'd like to get my carpets cleaned also. Actually, I'd like to get rid of my carpets altgether and put in hardwood. Why in the world anyone would install off-white carpeting to begin with is beyond me, but whatever.

The ESL teacher sounds like she "organized" you out of a job. LOL. Definitely call her, though, just in case. Sounds weird that they have an entire school for Albanian students. I had no idea there were that many in one area.

Yikes....we have off white carpets as well! Ick! Gene put them in. He's a neat freak and it doesn't bother him at all (the colour). I too want to get hardwood as well! I don't see many hardwood floors here in this part of the US.

I was volunteering with two families (5 kids). They were having a difficult time as they just moved to the US in the summer. I started with them early fall. They are amazing kids and I loved working with them. There were other kids at the school, from other first languages, maybe not needing as much work, but I could only work with so many kids at a time, and these 5 really needed help fast! This ESL teacher they hired, fell into their lap. She IS super organized, and really "administratively" focussed. She said she
wanted to test kids and see where they were at before organizing a game plan. She's been there about a month and a half now, and is still doing "paperwork". I'm annoyed because in the meantime, these kids I was working with aren't getting any services. I have called her twice now.

I love volunteering. I've done it most of my life, even while I was working. I have so much to offer. I'm annoyed that someone thinks that MY time isn't as valuable as theirs I guess. When instead, mine is MORE valuable, since I have less of it.

Will call her today.
