I am a man, and my experience has been that the Dyson is a
*wonderful* vacuum. It is the very best vacuum we've ever had. It
beats the top of the line Hoover we once had, hands down.

If you ever need to buy a new vacuum, spend the extra money on a
Dyson.


Hugs and Purrs,
Mark

I've heard that it is a great vacuum and extremely easy to push. If
I had the money, I'd get one. I'm tired of buying yard sale flops. :~)

I don't know about a Dyson, but Mom has a self-propelled Hoover that works
very well. I have one of those bagless Dirt Devil uprights that is also
self-propelled. I like that I just have to clean the accordian filter and
replace it about once a year. Mom's has a much stronger self-propelling
power, though. It will practically drag you through the house! LOL

Mom also has a cannister Orek. I have no idea why someone would want to
drag a vacuum cleaner around behind like a recalcitrant dog on a leash, but
there you have it. Strange little vacuum. I never did like cannister vacs.
It's the only kind she had for years, though, and old habits die hard.

Yard sales... you should have been I my neighborhood when I set my Eureka
upright out by the curb with a note indicating "It works!" It worked very
well but it was also very heavy. (I put the bag refills out with it).

Statistically, this is false. There is no correlation between
fantasizing about a socially unacceptable sex act and actually
committing that act, whether it be something as innocuous as getting it
on in a public area or as harmful as rape or incest. Most of those who
fantasize about a particular activity never act on it, and some who
commit the offense never fantasized about it.

Either do I. But I didn't see anything about that here. And Matthew
made references, but he didn't back it up with any facts, so how do
I know it's even true?

Do you see no distinction at all between fantasies or stories about
incest and real child abuse?


Well. You might say the same about people who download child porn. Is it a
fantasy or not? Does it mean they will *actually* go on to abuse children?
We take no chances here.
Child porn sites are heavily monitored by the police here in my local area,
everyone who downloads it is caught. In my child protection team we get one
or two cases a week at least, mainly ordinary family men with children.
This sets off an investigation into how safe are the children in that
family, it's intrusive and it breaks up marriages when the wives/partners
are not aware and have to be told.
Maybe we will need to look at the "incest" sites too after I read this
thread. I will bring it to the attention of my manager on Monday. She will
tell the police and no doubt they will monitor these sites too.
There is nothing more important than protecting our children from abuse.
They are our future.

Pam, you might really want to reconsider. Privacy issues aren't
always a bad thing, especially in this case.

I'm in a committed relationship but technically I'm single. I have no
intention of sharing personal (dating) information with this person. As I
said, this isn't a dating service. I''m not laughing at John but I have no
intentions of dating him even if I were in his area. He reminds me of a
friend from an old Prodigy service in the early 1990's who was a farmer
looking for a hard-working and child-bearing age wife. Um. No thanks!

Jill

You say "Statistically, this is false." I disagree and I can only speak from
what I have observed around me.

I came on here to talk about cats and cat caring people. I think I may need
to take a break. Best wishes to you all.

You should watch more CSI; I've learned lots from all cities; I love
seeing my
hometown scenery on the Miami show but like the actors in the Vegas
better.
The "distinction" is called "registered sex offender"and the shows lay
out for
all to learn what the fantasizers do in RL.....


What you speak of is a television program, hopitus. Real life isn't like
this.

With all due respect, Wayne, I don't quite understand. It seems to me
that a person who has posted seeking a real-life person to roleplay
has already acted on the fantasy to some degree. No?
OTOH, to be completely and totally fair, when I checked my *own*
profile, I found some quite frightening posts written that definitely
leaned
toward jihad propoganda. It was obviously not written by me. I had the
posts
deleted. Someone had stolen my screen name/account and these horrible
posts were out there that looked exactly like I had written them. I
suppose
that's a possibility with anyone else, too.
A dear friend had just showed me how to check my own past postings.
Now I
will do it often, just as if it were a credit report or something.

What you speak of is a television program, hopitus. *Real life isn't like
this.- Hide quoted text -

But there *is* a darker side of real life that a portion of the CSI
programs do
imitate. There is some embellishment for the drama factor, but I have
no doubt that the episodies are, even if somewhat loosely, based on
real cases.
What disturbs me is that some of the things portrayed are so sick, so
vile, and
you just don't know which equally sick and vile viewer is going to get
ideas from it.
This has happened before; not with CSI specifically, but a young girl
here was terrorized and hurt in a fashion that her attackers copy-
katted from a show they'd seen.

If you wanna see something *useless* vacuum-wise, take my iRobot
self-
propelled
round cat terrorizer (Granby, are you looking? We're talking *cats*
now!!!
When I want to have some fun with the cats, I drag it out and start
it
going in
the long hall, where it gets all their attention with a short little
song it plays when
it activates itself.....it swirls in circles, bumping walls and
recoiling off them, to
go in another direction, much to the cats' confuston and
frustration.
It picks up
hardly anything, maybe a stray kibble or floating fur scrap, stored
in
its tiny
compartment. It dies and its red light comes on very soon and I
dunno
whether
my cats think it''s dead, dying, or what. It was a very expensive
gift
to me years
ago and a large one in diameter; Rowdous sat right on it recently
perhaps as a
gesture of victorious conquering of the enemy. As a cat toy, it's
fun;
as a vac,
utterly useless.

Had one of those for a while. As I remember the dustbin on it was
about the size of a deck of playing cards. I was pretty useless then.
Now, with Kayla's fur I would be even worse.

I swear all that dog does is eat, play ball, and shed. It seems like
I vacuum up a whole dog every week, even when she spends half the day
outside.

How about a Catwoman instead of a Cat Lady? Someone like Julie Newmar,
perhaps, or Halle Berry.
