My lower back pains me. I need to sit frequently for a brief break when using the vacuum. Sometimes I will take a pain killer before vacuuming. When I am doing the dishes sometimes I sit on a stool to dry them. Aging sucks!
Go to the beach with a bucket and a rake and tell someone you’re there to get clams. They’ll offer to show you how it’s done. And dig your clams for you.
Guess who just took over vacuuming upstairs ten minutes ago! The circuit breaker tripped because the old upstairs vacuum cleaner bogs down if you don’t lift the beater off the carpet. I show her and I show her…
I don’t have a vacuum cleaner. When my apartment gets really grubby, my occasional housekeeper comes over and scrubs my place from top to bottom. Living in Mexico I can afford her services. If I were still living in the States, it would all be up to me.
That’s what I used to do at work when it was my turn to clean the kitchen. I would walk around the kitchen looking puzzled, and two or three women would come in and help me, by doing almost everything.
My Father and Grandfather vacuumed the carpets, washed the kitchen floor in order to give my Mom and Grandmother a break. My Dad would sing the jazz tune mop, mop while mopping.

My ex mother-in-law used a similar strategy on her husband. She’d start doing something but do it “wrong” and he’d take over.

The cat would probably prefer a Roomba. They clean the floor and give rides.

Not many cats would stay close to Pearl while she vacuumed from a chair.

My wife (RIP) tried this on me with a similar machine, then later with a Dust Buster after they were invented.

Earl is such a stupid and naive man.

Sadly, it will probably only happen once. The second time he will tell her to get out of his chair.

Reminds me of my mother. But my dad would have never vacuumed.

Technically, she isn’t vacuuming the floor. What she’s doing is having it vacuumed.
