For $500 does it roll across the carpet on it's own?

I can get the DC17 for $549.

I was really hoping someone would tell there was something just as good for less but it doesn't look like it's going to happen.

So, with the $500 tenure award I got yesterday yesterday, a $20 gift card today for my birthday and the money my parents are giving me for my birthday, I guess I'll suck it up.

We have the least expensive one, bought on sale at Target for 349, instead of 399. It's yellow, don't remember the model #.

Have Texannie tell you how/where to get a 20% off coupon. There's a hundred bucks off right there.

I just called the store in my area to see if they have what I want. They do. I asked the guy if I could use the coupon and he said it wasn't good on Dyson. I read to him what brands were listed on the coupon as excluded and Dyson was not one of them. He told me I was good to go but that the newer coupons were going to list Dyson on them.

NOTE THAT THE COUPON I LINKED EXPIRES TOMORROW, 12/15.

I get coupons from Linens n Things all the time. There are usually ones in the Sunday paper too. They will also take coupons from Bed Bath and Beyond.

I just wanted to let ya'll know I got my Animal yesterday and am totally in love. I have two cats, one with long white hair that gets everywhere. I knew I wasn't getting all of it with the vacuum I had, but I can't believe how much it was missing.

I highly recommend.

i have a question about 'refreshing' doll's hair. i recently discovered that i have an old doll (1972 blythe doll by kenner) that is probably very valuable. her hair is kind of matted and i wonder whether i should try to do something about it before i list her on ebay or should i just leave her hair the heck alone. what do you think?

Anything collectible should be left as is. Doing anything to it can ruin the value.

Snee, last year my husband and I inherited an extensive (about 150) doll collection from his aunt who had passed away. We actually got it by default. We decided to try to sell them on Ebay. She collected fancy schmancy ones and I knew absolutely nothing about them (or any other kind of doll for that matter). Some of them did have problems with their hair. I would try to fix it as best I could and if it was too bad, I just left it that way. For the dolls I couldn't do anything with, I always made mention in my ad that "she's having a bad hair day:-)" and that the dolls came as shown. We made sure to take really good pictures so the customer knew what they were getting. So, I guess what I'm trying to say is if you don't feel comfortable trying to fix her hair, then don't and just mention that in your ad. Worse case scenario would be that she doesn't sell and you're out a few bucks. Hope that helps!

there are many hair retoring places....I think they have a thread about it at Barbiecollector.com

I agree that if you arent pro at it I would leave it alone....if someone wants the doll they will fix it

My brother phoned me tonight and said "he was going to embarass me" he then proceeded to tell me that I had addressed his Xmas card to him, his ex wife and his kids. She is ten years gone and he has remarried, needless to say I was mortified. His wife laughed it off but he was quite upset. I apologized profusely, I really don't know what I was thinking, they are nothing alike and I haven't spoken to his ex in almost 10 yrs. I get the feeling it will be akward on xmas, should I mention it again or ignore it if it is the elephant in the room? I'm dreading Xmas day now. My dh will be away so I can't even turn to him if there is any tension.
From now on there will be no salutation on my cards!

Jasper, I did something worse. I was calling my cousin in Florida who I hadn't called in years. His wife answered the phone. I said "Is this Beverly?" She said "No, you must have the wrong number." Right after I hung up I realized that Beverly was his wife who had died ten years before. I called back and apologized. His new wife was not upset. My cousin got on the phone and laughed and said if I wanted to talk to Beverly I would have to call upstairs. (Heaven). Jasper, by the time Christmas day comes it may be forgotten. No need to bring it up.

Jasper, if there is an opportunity to laugh at yourself about it, do that. It is too bad that your bro got so upset. People have "brain farts" all the time and make mistakes. I hate "elephants" so I would bring it up, so you guys can get it out of your systems, laugh about it and move on....

However, if it seems that they forgot about it, and there is no elephant, then don't sweat it and no need to intentionally bring it up.

Thanks guys, I feel better. I did tell him on the phone that perhaps I had taken to much cold medicine that day.

LOL. My Dad's brother wrote two letters. One to my Dad and one to their sister. The one to my Dad was filled with some comments he probably shouldn't have made about their sister. Of course, he put them in the wrong envelopes.

The only slightly good thing was that he hadn't said anything about my Dad in the one that he was supposed to send to his sister.

There were some small hard feelings between him and his sister but they got over it soon enough.
