Q:Subquestion: Do vacuum cleaners make good lovers?

It matters not to me since none of them will be getting my vote in the general election.

Q:We were looking to get a few rooms professionally cleaned in our home. However, what is the biggest diff btw. Chem-dry places and regular companies, like COIT or Stanley Steemer. We know the thing about no liquid/water, but does that make a diffference? Anything else? Because the cost between the 2 is quite a bit, so we were wondering if it makes up for it. Thanks!

Why not do both?

Q:vacuum cleaners are pink for little girls BUT any sex can grow up and vacuum.....WHY?

I don't buy a lot of cheesy plastic toys (I HATE them) so this doesn't apply much to the brands I favor. Take a look at the Haba and Plan Toy collections. They are wooden and usually made in primary colors. They are not designated for boys or for girls in most cases, and I like that. We buy our daughter cars AND dolls. If we ever have a boy he will get the same. I agree that people pigeonhole kids into gender roles all too often. I have a psych degree and in one of my classes we watched a video about a study in which a woman took her little boy and dressed him in his regular clothes and let a stranger watch him for a few minutes. They were videotaping the interaction. The subjects encouraged the boy to move around, go for toys, etc. Then they dressed him as a girl and repeated the exercise with different people. Thinking he was a girl, there was a big difference in how they treated him. They held her in their laps and stuck dolls in her face. Toy companies have figured out that parents will buy their little girls stereotypical girl stuff, and their boys boy stuff. That is how girls get stuck with junk like Bratz dolls, and boys end up with violent action figures. Anyway, I think it's important to buy a child of either gender a nice, neutral sampling of tools, dolls, cars, musical instruments, etc. Then they can decide what they prefer. But the market is driven by what parents buy and what children nag parents to death for. And I agree that it's partially due to a child's impression of what the parent would like to see them play with (ie, my mom insisted I be a girly girl, and what did I ask for? Lil Miss Makeup!).

Q:I have 6 cats and need a vacuum cleaner that the filter is not going to stop up every few minutes. I have gone through 3 bagless vacuum cleaners in the last few months but they have been vaccums from walmart like eureka and such. I can vacuum over a small piece of trash in the living room and the vacuum just pushes the trash around, lol. Help!

Hi, okorder . I got my machine on phone special too.

Q:1. Vacuum Cleaners2. Straws3. American Idol4. or ????

NUMBER 3! I can't believe they got rid of Gina! Melinda is my favorite, but Gina is very good and should have stayed. I think this will be my last year watching. That show is just a bunch of baloney!

Q:Usually I just have to sweep kitty litter off the bathroom floor, but now I have some on my carpet. Is it ok to use a vacuum?

it will eventually break your vacuum. i've had to replace my vacuum every 1 -1/2 to 2 years since i've had cats. 16 years now.

Q:I would like to know how exactly was the Vacuum cleaner invented, what is it's main purpose? Are there any unintended sequences from this invention? IE: Is it being used for things its not supposed to?Thank you for your opinions

I noticed you brought that up on Patient PAws question about this. I am confused though, is it for SELLING 50 dogs, or BREEDING 50 dogs (as in 50 b*tches or a mix). WOuld you be OK with the cap on a number of dogs you can own, or not counting co-ownership (though that could mean that puppy mills would just have 100 owners of the dogs and they could be called boarding facilities) The laws already on the books are too vague and expensive to enforce, and while I will admit I don't know specifics about the laws we have it seems like capping the number of dogs is an easy way to monitor things other than specific laws about conditions that can be more easily avoided. I think that a reaonable cap is a good idea, though like you point out what is reasonable is up for discussion. How many puppies can a responsible breeder be connected to in a year? 100? 150? FInd some number less than the worst of the worst puppy mills but above the good breeders. It isn't a magic cure, just a start. I think the real answer to stopping puppy mills is for people to stop buying, but laws certainly would speed up the process. I was just thinking about all the arguments for laws with animals. People say we need to fucus on our problems but with animals the sad part is they have easy solutions! If people would only get pets they could afford and leave breeding to the people who know what they are doing, there would be no need for shelters and those resources coudld be put to work on arguably more important but much more complicated problems! I would like to see something done, I know that nothing will make this just go away but I think SOME step is necessary. And if nothing else, talking about this law is helping educate people about puppy mills, so be thankful for that part of it at least. Pets are a luxury, why do we even need to waste money on these issues!? It sickenss me that people are so irresponsible we need to be baysat like that.

Q:Hello,I am looking for best vacuum cleaner. I have both carpet hardwood floors in my home. Also a month old baby. Which ones are the best in terms of efficiency and low maintenance. whether it be the central vac, or the standard ? my budget is flexible as I know you get what you pay for.Thanks for your time.

We use a Dirt Devil Dynamite Plus. It has a hepa filter and is bagless; it works great on our hardwood floors and carpeting AND our youngest has asthma and it doesn't bother her by kicking up the dust/pet dander.

Q:1. Are they really better than any other vacuum cleaner on the market?2. Does the performance justify the price?3. How much maintenance do they need?Thanks

I bought this thing because of their exceptional advertising. I hated this ridiculously expensive vacuum so much that after 3 months, I went out and bought a Kenmore for less than $100. This vacuum works 100% better and the chord has a button and retracts into the machine. I love it and am getting rid of the Dyson. *** I wouldn't buy it.
