I guess the title of this thread says it all! I just bought a Dyson vacuum after hearing great things about it I had some gift cards and with the 20% coupon at Bed, Bath, & Beyond it was less than half of the normal price. I was going to get "the ball" but 4 salespeople told me to go with the classic yellow DC14. It is hands down the best vacuum I\'ve ever owned! Yes, it\'s a little heavy but ...

What's the purpose behind having 2 convection ovens (one upper/one lower)?? always wondered if the only reason is for just really big gatherings or holiday feast cooking? or is there another reason like the smaller upper is better for pies/confections than the lower larger oven??

Nick and I finally found a place! Although it isn\'t our dream house, it is a great place that we can both be happy living in. It is in the same development we are living in currently. It\'s an end unit and is 2 floors including the finished basement. The living room comes with a wall mounted 50" flat screen and in the basement is a full wet bar with a tv hooked up to the wall. We are set to ...

I\'ve cleaned out the cupboard where i kept all my plastic bags... i just have been storing FAR too many. I only need enough to use in the small trash cans and to change out the cat litter. So, I have 2 HUGE lawn trash bags full of them. Anyone in the phx area want them or know where i can take them to recycle or what not? I really don\'t want to take them to the grocery store, they only have...

OMG... I am about to kill this guy!!! So, we are having our truck shipped from Dulles to Phoenix and we set it up to be picked up yesterday (Sunday). Well, I stayed home all day waiting for this guy to call me (I didn't have his number, DH said he would call me) and he never showed!! So he calls me at 8:30 at night to tell me that he can be here today at around 10 or 11 a.m. He calls me ...

My fiance and I recently bought a house - which is being rented for the time being until we get married and move in together. Anyways, we're both very much into the environment and "being green"...we've talked about future plans for our house and being energy efficient and sustainable. We'd love to someday get solar panels installed. We've talked about maybe starting with just enough for the...

So, my husband and I have been working our tails off on our yard over the last year. We\'ve torn out huge area of overgrowth, removed stumps, re-seeded, planted new seed altogether, bought new shrubs, moved old shrubs, etc. etc. The super-hot weather here has really done a number on our hard work. We were trying to hold off on watering, but it really can\'t be avoided anymore. Anyway, our next ...

Nick and I made an offer on a house on Friday and it was accepted yesterday. Now comes the part where we start doubting our decision. Maybe we should have offered a lower amount. I was already on the fence about the house but Nick totally loves it. The house is great but the location isn\'t the best for commuting- it doubles my commute from 20 min to 40 min and adds 30 minutes to his (so now ...
