Trash find of a life time

[poconovacman]

Sonnyndad, you took the words right out of my mouth.....I'm a little older than high school age myself, but proper grammar knows no age limit!

P.S. your own posts are always a pleasure to read, entirely legible, descriptive, and clear, concise photos! Keep up the good work!

 

[sonnyndad]

Thank you!

I strive to be civilized!

 

[marks_here]

Yes we is!

 

[poconovacman]

Excellent. We curmudgeonly Northern grammar Nazis applaud you, Clayton! Now if only you could influence the majority of your generation!

Well, I guess we can't get along after all.

I really wish that we could all step back and look at the bigger picture before we start judging those with spelling and grammar issues. It is my personal belief that we have a high rate of Autism and other disorders among vacuum collectors which would explain some of the outlandish behavior from a few individuals on this site. The above poster and others like him may have a learning disability. The majority of us here probably have been bullied at least once in his lifetime. We should all know what bullying feels like and that it can really damage a person especially at a young age.

June&Ward&Beaver&Wally may not have been real life even in--

1959 any more than 'Dick & Jane' were before them.And certainly not now.But if something is out of 'our'ordinary how to we go from a trash find that I among others was happy to hear of to,and I don't think this is to strong,calling someone A LIAR!!
I of course join in hoping that there is school,family and friends that that help one another in Tracy for now and the future.The "24/7"comment might have meant 'available time'.
Why would a great and costly item be on the curb?In my area there are at least 2 common reasons.We have a nearby college with rows of apartments that often have new and modern furnishings.When students leave at the end of school,many for a good job and some in small sports cars, much is discarded.We also have a nearby industry that can have executives from Europe or elsewhere.Again when it is time to return home extra furniture or appliances are of little concern.

Why texting language?I don't like it and am waiting for Alexander Bell to spin in his grave.But not everyone uses a real keyboard at all times with so many devices.
If Michaels family,friends,neighbors,school and community work for him who are we to say otherwise?I wish him and his Kirby and everything in his life well.

I use an iPhone 4 to post everything I write. I still abide by the rules of English, don't I?

You're using an iPhone 4? do you know how many characters it takes to make VacuumLand run in DOS!? 

 


Michael, I'm sorry to hear if you're being bullied. VacuumLand is a friendly community for the most part, but we have had some not-so-kind characters in the past! 

 

[marks_here]

Oh lord I remember having to learn DOS so happy not having to do that anymore but it's nice to see Alex!!

 

[super-sweeper]

Thanks Mark, you don't want to know what happens when I load a picture-thread! 

 

[marks_here]

Oh & the hell you had to go through IF you forget to save it... Which happened to me only twice witch was enough

 

[joshdonnell]

I agree with Kloveland. I also sometimes have a problem with grammar. We are not here to judge.

 

[marks_here]

[kenkart]

You unz knows

Us uns in tha South ALWAYS speaks goot grammers!!!!Seriously, getting back to the kirby, you would be amazed how many late model Kirbys I find at the Goodwill outlet, all vacuums are 5.00 a piece!!!Also find Dysons, Rainbows and Electroluxes..I very seldom buy one because im not enamored with anything less than 30 years old.

I’m very sensitive to bullying. I was bullied at a young age on more than one occasion because of my vacuum obsession. I was also bullied in high school over a different matter. I’ve never understood the whole grammar and spelling issue. If you don’t like someone’s post then don’t read it! I don’t understand why people just can’t look the other way.

Great find Michael! I would love to have a Sentria II.

 

[kenkart]

I agree..

I was bullied all thru school, and it is not fun, I did have some fun a few years ago though, one of the bully's actually the worst one, is now a real estate agent in my hometown, he had a house listed that I wanted to see, so I went to his office, of course he acted like I was a long lost friend...we went to look at the house, and as we were riding along, I said, You dont remember all the hell you put me thru as a kid do you??? He said, well that was just kids stuff, you were a little different, so you opened yourself up for that kind of thing...I replied, yeah, but now Im not afraid anymore, I keep a 38 special handy to even the playing field...he turned as white as a sheet...needless to say, he was glad to get me back to his office!!LOL..I didnt have my pistol with me, but the idea sure scared hell out of him!!

[sonnyndad]

And I don't even know what that means.

 

[cb123]

You should try reading Uncle Remus some time, he's a WHOOP and a HOLLER! You got to get down with the colloquial, man! You got to stay/live where the common peoples is...Power to the PEOPLE!
