Vacuum's Suck! And not in a good way!

Dear Dyson, Hoover, Dirt Devil, Bissel and all vacuum manufacturing people,

You guys suck!  How difficult is it for you to live up to what your claims are?  Why can't you make a vacuum that actually does what its supposed to do at a price that those of us normal everyday American families can afford?  Never clogs?  Dyson dude you are full of crap!  Best for pet hair?  Come on Bissel, come to my house and try your "perfect per hair" vacuum once.

Seriously, now that I have gotten that rant off my chest, how hard is it to make a vacuum that can actually pick dust and pet hair off the damn floor.  We have a 150# Newfie and yes she sheds.  She is the size of a small moose so what do you expect?  We have her groomed, we brush her out and of course she still will shed her hair.  So I decided since I am the stay at home one now I was going to look for a vacuum that could do what I needed it to...pick up the hair!  Let me tell you what, the Bissel pet hair specialist vacuum is so not that one!  Fresh out of the box it still would not pick up hair off carpet well, left tracks all over the room that I had to use a lint roller to get up.  Needless to say I was pissed.  Try to call Bissel you say, well good luck with that. 45 minutes on the phone and all they said was take it back to the store sorry for your trouble.  Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......

Anyway, until I find a vacuum that I can use and tell you all about how freaking awesome it is, I am going back to the man-cave special....yep getting the shop vac out of the garage baby!  Take care until next time all!

Hello and welcome to the inside...

This is scary.  I am allowing you inside my head.  Don't be afraid of what you may find in there, trust me I have seen it and its not all that bad.  Pardon the dust while I remodel a little though...

Welcome to all of you!  I will be quite honest with you, I have never blogged before.  As a matter of fact I have never really read anybody else's blogs often.  The occasional sports blog from a friend or someone from church, but nothing really substantial.   So this is a whole new world for me.  Who knows, maybe its going to be a whole new one for you!

I hope to post some thought provoking topics that may (or more than likely may not) help some of you other stay at home dads deal with the crap we deal with.  More often than not I will just get into a rant about shit that has pissed me off at the time, but I hope that we can rationally work within this medium and who knows, maybe we can all let off some steam and live longer. 

Anyway, as Alice Cooper once said "Welcome to my Nightmare..."  Welcome in my friends and I hope you enjoy the ride!

Until next time....(God only knows when that will be!)
Take care,

BigDaddy
