WHY GOD MADE MOMS…and other Thunks

February 24, 2010

 

When stuff goes bad……

See full size image

My new vacuum got attacked by my pitbull (1/4 pit) and the cord got chewed off. I paid $75 for the vac on one of those Kohl’s mega deal weekends and used Kohl’s bucks and my 15% off coupon to pay for it.  Hubby took the vacuum in to the repair guy who told him it would cost at least $50 to fix and it is one of the worst vacuum ever made.

D’OH. Vacuum repair guy doesn’t care much for Dyson as well. Maybe he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Your thoughts?


Toyota Troubles….

We own 2 Toyota’s- a Camry and Avalon. You know, I still think they are great cars but, I gotta ask Mr. Toyoda, what the heck were you thinking?

My internet connection has been fading in and out for the past week. GGRRRR…and so has my digital reception. Can they be related even though they are through 2 different companies?

This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by Berleen, the color of your keyboard, and the number 4579.

1. Who is the craziest person in your family?

If extended family counts…..ya gotta check out some of hubbie’s people.
2. If you could make turtle shells any color you wanted, what color would turtles be?

Green
3. How fast do hotcakes sell?

You mean pancakes? Don’t know. Haven’t had one in years.
4. Can cannibals be arrested for being under the influence of alcohol if they have eaten someone who was drunk?

Remember that dude from Wisc. who ate people and then went to jail where he was cornered and killed in the shower? Ask him.
5. If I had my legs amputated, would I have to change my height and weight on my driver’s license?

Could you still drive?
6. Where do people in Hell tell other people to go?

St. Louis in August.
7. Do you make stupid little baby noises when talking to your pets?

Ummm no.
8. Is the light on in the room?

Over the stove and sink.
9. Did the voice tell you that the light is on in the room?

It was Jesus.
10. If you were to name an alcoholic drink, what would it be called?

Duh…Harrietrita……

I’d get a new vacuum if it were me. I’d listen to the repair guy. :) Harrietrita…ROFLMAO!!! Toyota is in big trouble I think. And to think I wanted one of those. MOM’s are the absolute best. Did you hear about Shamu? You watch what those idiots do to him for killing his trainer. Have a great Wednesday :)

Kids are so funny. As a former elementary educator, I wish I could have carried a tape recorder around with me most of the time.

Dyson’s rock. What is that guy smoking?

I LOVE my Toyota … I have a Rav4 and it is so “my” car. It’s totally me. I have a couple issues with it, but otherwise it’s a fabulous car. Now, I had an older Corolla several years ago and wrote about my accelerator sticking on my other blog (amic clutter). Talk about scary.

I used to do TT…I should probably start again one of these days. :)

I love the comment on scotch tape. I can remember so many times of asking my parents where to find things after barely trying to find it myself. My mom would usually know where to look, and my dad’s response was always, ” I don’t know, it wasn’t my turn to watch it.”

As for the vacuum, I like to use things as long as I can. I’d say if it was working fine for you, order the new cord online, and find an electrical savvy friend who can install it. I can’t believe putting a new cord on a vacuum would coast $50, unless they are charging $40 for labor.

Sometimes, I wonder what sort of second graders say those things. They’re cute and fun, but so opposite what my own kids would say…
