Honey, I’m home!
Honey?
Honey?
Where’s my dinner?

I’m sure you’re a really nice guy, but I’ve spent the last few days cursing your name. I have to study over here!
Have someone in the States mail you one marked as a gift. Then you won’t get whacked for the duty. I think.
I’m going to ask an uncle to smuggle me one in next time he visits. The thing that worries me is that there could be support issues, especially if I need to send it back to them for service. I can just see some service peon refusing to send it back to me because we’re not in the states.
For mailing items TO the US as a gift, the duty-free limit is $100. I am not sure what Canada’s rules are; just that sending stuff as a gift doesn’t always mean you don’t have to pay duty.
In this vein, I’ve been vacuuming every single day, like Donna Reed would. If I had pearls and heels, I’d put them on to do it too. Just feels right.
My dog sheds copious amounts-- I mean extraordinary amounts of hair. If I didn’t vaccuum often, it’d be in drifts up to our knees.
The only clog I ever had with my Dyson was when I swept up a lot of needles which our Christmas tree shed. A wad about the size of a fist got jammed up in the tube which leads to the bucket, but it was easily cleaned out. Dysons are great for ease of maintenance. Every part pops out easily and is just as easily put back in-- most are made so that they can’t go in wrong.
