Jeff, that is a good one. Watched Lance and his career, and went a couple of times to see "le Tour" live when we lived in France, now really I don't care what they had to do to keep themselves going, It is a tremendously superhuman physical event, and I can't see how any of them can be 'clean'.

My Mum is an avid Collingwood supporter, me I am a St Kilda fan, tragic I know!!

The day we took delivery of our house I started the installation of our central vacuum system. It was a lot of work but 100%of the dust goes out the the ceiling above the garage. It works great and is light weight. I am not fond of vacuuming.

OK, I don't get it. Is it any less of a PITA to lug around the big bulky hose of a central vacuum system versus lugging around a vacuum cleaner? At least the vacuum cleaner takes up less space in a closet than the central vacuum hose.

My feelings exactly. I hated lugging that hose around as a teenager when my mom made me vacuum.

We've earned a reputation with the pizza delivery boys, we tip really well and they have started throwing us in front of everyone. The people on the phone are like uh it's gunna be an hour an a half and then 20 mins later our piping hot pizza eagerly shows up.

We're relatively new here so we'll take what we can get. We used to get that all over in our old area. One of the owners of our favorite Mexican rest. Would take our oldest son ad carry him around the dining room when he was baby so that we could eat. I miss that kinda thing.
