But I guess I was wrong. :-( <BR/><BR/>John - I dunno, vacuuming the lamp was over the top I guess. Just figured I'd attack any dust I could find I guess. Manual vacuum cleaner?!?!? Is that like one of those push sweeper things with the brushes on a roller that swipes up stuff? Or is there actually suction on the thing?

They're both terrified of the vacuum cleaner and Sugar (googler of 666) can be really vicious.<BR/><BR/>And yeah, on the typewriter - she tends toward confidence, doesn't she?!? But in all fairness, it really ISN'T a problem for HER. It's a problem for the reader! I explained before she bought it that she really wouldn't be using it for homework because of just what you were talking about. It's still a neat thing though, for them to get to see how a manual typewriter works.<BR/><BR/>SJ - If there's a remaining flea anywhere in the house, I'll make sure he or she attends YOUR church. :-) :-) :-)Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10439582294571462742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29122639.post-25633773723181574362008-07-17T00:26:00.000-05:002008-07-17T00:26:00.000-05:00All those vacuums have made the Universe unstable....All those vacuums have made the Universe unstable.

That said, they actually work, much unlike those healthy natural remedies that never quite do the trick. Can you say Revolution? google it, last time I checked you could even buy them right from Australia for only $5 shipping and no prescription. As for that typewriter, well, it appears Cassie has not exactly perfected lining her paper up and using white out huh? she told me last night that it would be "no problem" LOL!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06976102470658767876noreply@blogger.com
