Y'all are making me crave jimmies. Now stop it, before I violate firm policy with an SA.

My old firm had no problem with folks taking SAs out for ice cream, although in San Francisco in the summer it was more often coffee.

Ohhh. Ok. That makes sense now.

In my experience, this is not something men outgrow.

They come in purple. And they're $500. I was at Best Buy this weekend.

But do they suck? My dog wants to know, since it's the time of year when her shedding puts her at risk of eviction.

Sprinkles here.

A British friend just complicated matters. Apparently across the pond they're called "hundreds and thousands".

Period placement intentional as token of respect for Brit friend who will never see this post.

You should know that after posting in some detail about your dating preferences and who would and would not pass muster, this is a softball that probably shouldn't be tossed.

If you don't have all wood/linoleum floors, forget it.

(Oh, and if you're not home to empty it every hour, forget it.)

anyone who has listened to an old morris day record (i believe you kids call them cds) should know that. and i'm not talking about jimmy jam's ubiquitous hat.

Now I'm confused. Aren't jimmy hats meant to hold jimmy jam?

damn woman, three times? I give up. I don't have enough energy to not have sex 3 times this week.

After all, I have a lot of tv to watch.

Huh?

I think you're thinking of a different type of vacuum cleaner. I don't think the Dysons are the automated little robot critters that bounce between your floorboards.

Did Hero sandwich come from the word "gyro"*?

*which, incidentally, I've heard some east coasters pronounce "jai-row" instead of "yee-row".

In TCOTU, even Greeks (or "Grecians," as I believe they now like to be called) working in Greek restaurants pronounce it as "jai-row." Socrates is rolling in his grave.

I think you're thinking of a Roomba. If you ever watched TV you would recognize the Dyson as the vac with the guy who resembles Sting lamenting the loss of suction. It is currently the chic vac to have.

Ty, I think it doesn't live up to its hype or price. A recent rating (CR?) I saw placed it way down the list. You can get two better vacs for the price of one Dyson.

And with a shedding dog, you should NOT get a bagless vac. Emptying the cup (frequently) is messy and inconvenient and the dirt seems to get all over the vac's mechanical works, which I would bet shortens its lifespan.

Thanks NB. It appears that you're the only person not ignoring me...
