how about people who are old enough to rent a car, but on the inside feel well into their 60's (including yelling at punkass teenagers for skateboarding on the sidewalk). also, for people like me to regularly lurked revscene for 3+ years before signing up for an account

[danned]

cool, go for it

[trollguy]

to be over 30, chances are their sign up date will predate 2005.

unless they're a late bloomer

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

what happens in this "club" lol

[trollguy]

talk about old people things.. like costco memberships, sleeping at 10pm, frequency of vacuuming the house, and yelling at irresponsible kids

[bcrdukes]

Ability to get 10% off on groceries.

Times are tough.

[Szeto]

^i know a guy who is like that... and he also tracks the price of all their grocery purchases and individual item pricing on excel and do analysis. :D

You forgot people watching and picking. Nothing beats finding a good deal at a garage sale... srs

Knows where the fuketree is and fapped to Kobe Tai.

[320icar]

And actually knows how to cook a thanksgiving meal vs. just having it cooked for you.

And also that receiving socks and underwear really is the best Xmas present there is

Multicartual wants in...:troll:

[rsx]

I'd like to see a RS club that gears towards professional development. Helping each other out in business areas. EG: x has an idea on an app, y can provide help and they work together; small business is looking for partners, import/export, etc.

[trollguy]

well this lost steam real fast.

[bcrdukes]

slowguy, please. If you are going to take this thread seriously, at least use Comic Sans. :failed:

[murd0c]

well this lost steam real fast.

we are slow and have lives outside of RS, this thread should take months to complete one page.

VLS+ FTW

[trollguy]

I remember my old boss would send all emails (internal and external) in Comic Sans :lol:

I have a life outside of RS too.. but typically from 9-4 I'm glued to a computer :woot2:

[white rocket]

^^bingo! 8-5 here. late bloomer for sure as I lurked for years before joining. I still love car shit and still deep in the game but I'm down for vacuuming discussion/theory, early bedtimes, irritating kids, etc.

my dad sends all his emails in comic sans and I always thought to myself "that's fucking childish", "what are our clients thinking when they see that". Nothing has ever come of it but I still chuckle when I'm cc'd on some of his outgoings.

[fliptuner]

Speaking of vacuums.....

The tilt lock broke on my upright a few weeks ago. It was annoying cause when I'd go to use the hose/crevice tool, the vacuum would fall back. GF wanted to buy a new one but this works perfectly fine - no point chucking it in the landfill for a simple thing.

2 minutes scouring the garage for an appropriate fix.......

[trollguy]

lol! score!

speaking of vacuums, anyone remember the Kirby vacuums which were sold door to door? our family bought one and holy shit that thing was built like a tank - lasted us 15 yrs+!

I still remember the days of lugging that thing up and down the stairs vacuuming.. :lol:

[bcrdukes]

Thank you, slowguy for taking this thread seriously.

bcrdukes request fulfilled: a good buddy of mine sold those things back in the day. Made a killing too. They looked like a vacuum from the 50's and built tough as nails. My Meile(or whatever the fuck) is good but nowhere near a Kirby

@ICE BOY: awesome vacuum tech y0! :woot2:

[fliptuner]

I can't believe my parents spent $2k in the '80's and bought a Rainbow. It's a great vacuum but fuck, we were just a middle class family.

[Brianrietta]

I just miss when Costco still opened an hour early for Business members.

[white rocket]

I guess we're all VLS+ members now so......................let the vacuum talk continue.....

any Dyson heads on here? They look awesome but would like to hear some user feedback. Not sure if I'm ready to enter the world of upright vacuums though a la "the ball" that they offer. My Miele(or whatever the fuck) is a nice canister style and has great pivot points so you can lay the wand and tool flat to get under furniture. Not sure I'd want to give that up but I think Dyson offers canister styles as well.

Dyson's products, especially their vacuums are cool and nice to have, but for the fraction of the price a Miele performs just the same.

The ball works well for pivot points and if you have a larger area to vacuum. The detachable wand and tools for the upright ball canisters are flimsy and don't work well.

Have you considered the handheld vacuums with the extensions?

I find Dyson's make it somewhat enjoyable to vacuum because of the clear canister and vortex. :toot: If you are adamant in purchasing a Dyson, checkout CL for some good deals.

[trollguy]

same with me, that was a joke ;)

I have no excuse for not catching that one. hahaha

[bcrdukes]

Friend of mine bought a Dyson from some guy on Craigslist - got ripped off. The damn thing broke in 2 months and of course, she was out of warranty. Ironically, she told me the guy drove a BMW. Funny how they both work great at first, then fail miserably. :suspicious:

But c'est la vie - her fault for "trying to save a few bucks."

[IMASA]

I have a Dyson, the canister style that has a ball, DC23 I think.

I was pissed that the wife spent $600 on a vaccumm cleaner, but it actually works pretty good. The ball makes it roll around very easy and smoothly, makes the cleaning experience lot easier. I only have experience with those built-in-house vaccums and it was a chore to lug the hose from room to room and the hose would get stuck around wall corners.

Best part is, wife loves it = she does the vaccumming around the house.

[nabs]

I want the dyson ball vac, mine is heavy and bulky I think the brand is Shark Vac or something, we also have those built in vaccuums at my house but it's never worked.

[fliptuner]

For those of you considering getting a Dyson, don't forget, their refurbs include 2yr warranty and free shipping.

Ironically enough, my house only has 1 room with carpet. :lol

[Alby]

damn you guys like to ball out on vacuum cleaners.

[bcrdukes]

It's what happens when you get older / grow up. Instead of spending money on air intakes, N1 exhausts and Neuspeed springs, you drop that hard earned cash on Miele, Dirt Devil, and Dyson vacuums. The ROI is just insane, especially when you plot your finances into a scatter plot and then calculate the amortization. Man, I could go on but I don't want to get guys like slowguy and white rocket too excited. :sweetjesus:

Oh man, the new weekly flyers come out tomorrow! I heard Canadian Tire is having a garden sale and they're willing to beat Home Depot and Rona's prices by an extra 10%?! So excite! :woot2:

Man, I love this thread! Such serious business!

Pee all over it so they already know its mine.

[white rocket]

It's lawn mowing day today after work! Now that I'm in a house after doing the apartment and townhouse thing all my life I just love stuff like this. Pulling weeds, trimming the edges, trying different lawn mower designs in the grass, etc.

As a dual dog owner, both female and older so their piss is super acidic/high pH count, I try to carry a bottle of water with me during walks so I can pour it on their pee spot to dilute it a bit to prevent the grass from burning.

[Speed2K]

Lol, never noticed this thread before! Speaking of lawns, how do I get rid of weeds from my lawns?!?!?!?! I try to pull some everyweek but there's still so many! :fuuuuu:

You can look into Killex or Round-Up but those are quite toxic IIRC and will destroy grass too. There are kinds that only kill weeds and are safe for lawns.

Lazy Saturday. Whats everyone doing tonight?

Sucks like Nintendo Kirby (in a good way). Powerful vacs. Never noticed this thread till now.

Should start VLS++ club for those at 60, lol.

[sonick]

Re: Dyson - When our old vacuum crapped out 10 years ago, my parents bought a refurb'd original Dyson (DC03?) off Amazon a decade ago before they sold them in Canada. Still using it to this day. OG Dyson hipsters right hurr.

Re: Groceries, I look at flyers every Sunday to decide which supermarkets to hit up. I also have memorized roughly the price trends of stuff I usually buy so I stock up when it's on sale. Best deals this week, PriceSmart Richmond has chicken legs on sale $1.59/lb and IGA has Kale for 99c each.

you cant buy killex/roundup from home depot without a quick lesson from one of their staff i believe.. :suspicious:

- sadly apartment life has swallowed me... We used to grow just about everything in our backyard. Cucumber, Zucchini, tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage, blueberry and strawberry, CORN (which was the bestest) i could go on. We had a prickle bush in the far corner that was a weed, but it produced blackberries so it earned its keep. But then i planted a mint leaf plant (for aroma and herbal tea) and it grew out of control little shop of horrors style. Took years to finally remove it all.

Strangers baby's smiling and staring at u is super cute. Though my personal favourite is when I see 90+ year old couples walking down the street and they still hold each others hand.

Yes, that's right. I think it's a liability thing. I just pull them out by hand and hopefully drag the root out too. Works fine almost all the time and actually quite satisfying. I'm all like "Fuck you weeds, die MF'er" as I'm ripping them out. LOL! It feels good.

For me, it feels good until I look up, then it's :fuuuuu:. I think I pulled a few buckets of weeds this past weekend, probably another 100 buckets left to go. :heckno:

I, personally, prefer the tiger torch approach. A tiny torch would work but it would be more time consuming. It takes 2-3 hits to kill the weeds roots completely but it's quick and completely natural.
