Seeing How The Other Half Lives?

While I absolutely LOVE where I live and wouldn't trade it for a million dollars, I also like to look at the home of the rich and famous. I found a blog that posts picture of luxurious real estate - and they are luxurious-looking!

I always like to see homes like these and I was a frequent watcher of "The Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous".

Like I said before some of these homes are absolutely gorgeous!

Who knows? I may purchase one as my 2nd Home!

Here Is An Interesting Link.....

Found another one of those interesting articles on the Internet. This one lists 25 things that (in their opinion) will not be here much longer!

25 Things Vanishing From America

I won't give away everything that is on the list but there are a few things that I don't necessarily agree with.

Probably the most important one is that I LOVE my VCR and don't know what they could possibly have to replace it!

Even though there are millions of email being sent every day I still like to believe that there are still people out there that still do handwritten letters. I haven't done them myself in quite awhile but that doesn't mean that I am never going to!

So take a look at the list and let me know your thoughts!

Well It Looks Like I Will Need A New Vacuum Cleaner!

I was going to vacuum one of the bedrooms today and found out that my vacuum cleaner did not want to cooperate!

I have had this vacuum cleaner now for some time - over 20 years I think - so I think that it's time to get a new one!

The problems that I'm having with it is first that I am not getting enough suction! I thought maybe the hose was clogged up and I checked it and it was clear. Second of all the hose that goes into the vaccum is not catching on to the vacuum bag itself. (Actually it took me quite a while to find a store near me that carried the right size vacuum bag that I needed!)

Third (and probably the most important thing of all) is that I broke the catch that secures the hose and bag to the vacuum machine itself!

The brand of the vacuum cleaner is Eureka and it did last a long time and it worked quite well - so I'll probably buy the same brand. However I have done a quick Internet search of vacuum cleaner prices and they sure have gone up since the last time I bought a vacuum cleaner!

So I welcome your comments and suggestions as to the kinds of vacuum cleaners that you have that you are happy with and hopefully your comments will help those who are also in the market for a new vacuum cleaner!
