[kenkart]

I have been working for 3 weeks , With the help of Donald, and a few friends moving a massive collection of old appliances that I acquired, I gave my word that I wouldn't tell where or from whom they came, and I intend to keep that promise, Today I drove a 15 foot Uhaul about 8 hours ,got home and unloaded it..Here are a few pictures....I will never have to hunt a old vacuum again!!LOL, Some very rare vacs, such as a model 5, 11 and 12 Electrolux..etc

I feel

Old and broke down !!!!LOL, 50 is sure a different age from 25 ,,,lol

Hans........

There is an old expression: "25 goes into 50 a hell of a lot more than 50 goes into 25".

Wait you get to the 60's! If one more person tells me that the 60's are the new 40's I'm going to vomit.

BTW, I really like your vacuum pics here and on your new thread. Keep them coming!

 

[kenkart]

I would LOVE to be 20 again and have the sense I have now!!

Re being 50

I am thankful everyday to be 50....So many didn't make it and other than being over weight and having high blood pressure, I think im doing ok...I have a job, a home, a wonderful partner that puts up with and even helps me with my collecting, and a small group of good friends , and I see so many my age addicted to drugs, alcohol and cigarettes and so many others broke and alone...yes im very thankful!

 

[sptyks]

Boy, what wouldn't I give to be 50 again. Major back problems now!


 


When you were born in 1965, I was 13 years old and happily vacuuming our 4 bedroom home with my mom's brand new Kirby Dual Sanitronic 50.

I looked around for my original owner's manual, but can't seem to find it. They never tell you about all the tings that happen when you turn 50 (which I did almost four years ago). No one ever said "Never pass a restroom - you'll need it very soon". Or how hard it is to get out of bed in the morning (You have to stand there for a second after you get up, before you walk). Those kinds of things.
