Hello, my friends,

I just finished some meaningless chores.
Time to rest a little and write some meaningless words.

I'ts no secret that I was awarded with moderate to Severe emphysema.
Almost 50 of smoking premium cigars, inhaling, earned me that honor.
Besides, I'm sure God let this one slide for a reason.

Vacuuming is new to me. As is cleaning and mopping.
A girl comes twice a month to do the Real cleaning.

Meantime, 'lil doc, complains of the deplorable conditions of the "estate."
( I removed all of her nobility titles. We're not in the best terms today.)
BTW, she just shouted: mi vida, no hay comida?.
No mamisura. (New slang from the kids in Miami, denoting "mami" and "dulzura" (sweetness.)
That REALLY gets her ...... off. But I'm busy. Passing the message.

About vacuuming:
She has a friend (since grade school) that was a rat of the Sharper Image.
Since day one until they went belly under.
The first wireless vacuum to reach the US, was hers. @ 1G+ a pop.
I dance the Rumba, but never the Roomba.

I've found at Wally's website, a similar machine for 75 bucks.
Bought it, with a 2yrs warranty, for less than 90.
BTW, thing on line are way cheaper than at the store. Go figure.

I've been "using" it for more than a month now. Every day.
The name is: Vbot, and it works.
Battery pack is NiCad. And it takes all night to recharge.
I haven't found a higher Ams in that voltage, so far, in my garage.

If the love affair continues, I'll build a li-ion pack.
But, again, what can you expect for under 90.
That covers occasional vacuuming. The "palace" has no rugs though.

Now vaping:

I'm all for vaping. 120% for vaping.
Only I don't agree with the way some (very few) of us are vaping in public.
Your average Joe does not know what's coming out of your mouth.
And frankly, doesn't have to care either.

I just came from HD. She bought some more things to make me work.
Fine, I may be afraid of it, but I do that thing too.
There was this girl (riff-raffty) (God, forgive me) showing off that she could vape.
And showing a good chunk of .... too.

Do we need to express our newfound passion in that manner?.
I know we don't. Now what to do. What to say.
I was about to say something, and 'lil doc got in the middle.
"No kidding?" "now it's High School kids too?.

Well, the rest is too long. Advise, please.

All The Very Best Carlos

Well, my Mom always said I had to wear underwear to bed cause there might be a fire!

Did I listen to her? Nah. I told her if God had wanted me to wear underwear I would have been born with it on.:lol:

Shhhhhh quiet yourself Reign you have too many infractions already, but I double like this post. :D

Andria I just wanted to say I love your no sugar coat BS free post style. Must be a southern thing cause I am plagued with it too. :D

Heh... I used to be married to this guy who forced me to be someone I'm really not, just to keep him. I finally figured out it was more important to be who I actually am, than keep any man. Then I found my current husband... with whom I can be who I am, and for some reason, he still loves me. :D Maybe it's because I let him be who he really is... farts, ear-hair, and all. :D We share a love of 70s rock and Bruce Willis movies (among many other things!); that airy-fairy Enya crap my first husband enjoyed can take a flying leap. :D

It might be a southern thing, but my husband is from Indiana/Missouri (born in the first, lived in the 2nd till he was 35), and he's the same way -- "If you don't like how I look (gnarly beard).. look somewhere else!" Right on. :D

Wow, that's a hard act to follow but I just wanted to say hi to the op ( carlos) and thank him for sharing his story! I hope you stay because this forum is a great place to learn and make new friends. As far as the girl you were speaking about, well I guess for each his own. Times sure have changed! However I suppose it's better she is vaping then smoking so look at it that way :). I'm glad you got your vaccume figured out. I used to have one that was like a robot, until my daughter stepped on it and killed it. That was a sad day. Anyway, welcome and hope you stay. Glad your vaping. Best wishes. :)

Hmmm... zen and the art of robotic vacuums. I like it, OP.

As far as the whole underwear things goes, I could never get it straight in my head which form went with which contingency... so I wear none, so as not to out of sync (a broken clock is exactly right twice a day, and all that).
