Huh? Are you saying she would be happier with a Dyson?

I bought my wife a palm sander for Mother's Day years ago... (She was going on about wanting to re-finish the oak butcher block kitchen table...)

I'm STILL paying for that one... :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:



P.S. The table came out GREAT!:D

I actually did give my wife a Kirby vac one year for Christmas. :rant-rave:
My hospital bill was over $10,000.:(

No I think it is he will be happier with a Dyson… lol … well at least my hubby was, we had one on every floor. And then when the new, more powerful one came our\t, of course we had to have that one too.

Not surprised. Getting one of those things removed from your rear ain't easy. (I almost said "that it really sucks", but I thought better of it.)

It might still fly if you get her a RoboRock self docking, vacuuming, mopping, cleaning and emptying "vacuum" but if it doesn't, it's not as big as a Hoover if it gets hurled back at you.

I bought mine a broom and dustpan.
Saved money that way.
Not only does it clean without using electricity ........
She can ride it when the moon is full.

Another time I spent a month in the hospital was when the wife was using a broom.

I said: Why don't you get a two seater next time?" :22yikes:

There was no next time. :cry:

Reminds me of the Christmas Eve back in the early 90s when my dad brought one of those upright professional doctor’s office scales to our house (they lived down the street) and asked if we could keep it until morning so my mom wouldn’t see it and ruin the surprise. It was all I could do to keep my mouth shut seeing my dad had gotten my mom a scale for Christmas, and was actually excited about it thinking he’d chosen an awesome gift. My poor hubby got an earful after my dad left… “Don’t you ever ever ever …!”

I bought my wife a pair of work boots, work gloves and an ax when we were first married. Oh and a penny for the ax. We were clearing a lot for a house we were building. She had said she wanted to help. It was near her birthday. She loved them. And yes we are still married 40+ years later.

Didn't they sell dogs too? And chicks?

My best memory of the Sears catalog was that the yellow pages made the best toilet paper (outhouse behind the church...)
