Brad,

Sorry to hear this.Now that you need more vacs I need LESS.I have been sorting to prepare to downsize and many modern and vintage vacs need to GO with many prices at $0--$20.Big selection of mostly quality vacs as opposed to Chinese colored plastic.

I hate to hear of your loss but I'm glad you weren't injured. Most stuff is replaceable, after all.

Brad,

I'm sorry for your loss but glad that the fire didn't claim you and you're now on the rebound.

Check out Jimmy's fleet. Good stuff. If I weren't so far away I'd go there again and get more.

Jimmy, I'll get up with you when I have more money. I'm pretty close about hour and half. I've been wanting another Electrolux canister and maybe some type of Hoover. But I like them all, I don't discriminate lol

I’m sure we all could help him a bit with the donation of a Vacuum to help rebuild his collection a bit

What a tragedy. Sorry to hear about it. If you'll send me your address via private message I'll see what I can rustle up to send you.

 

As others have said, you do have your life and health. Material things -- horrifically tragic as it is to lose them -- can be replaced.

So sorry about that. It must’ve been hard losing everything you had but I’m hoping everything’s going very well. 👍

I received news today after it has been 2 years that I have entered stage 3 renal failure with diffused alveolar hemorrhage from my IG4 variant Anti GBM autoimmune. No dialysis for right now, just a few symptoms, at least I've already pulled through it once!

Brad,

So sorry to hear about your health right now!

But... speaking of rebuilding your vacuum cleaner collection, look what I just got last Sunday night!

I love that Kirby classic 😍 Kirbys are my favorite I did get to keep 1 Kirby 3rd gen it was at my parents house. I know right I'll get through it I'm fine! But yes thoughts please. The chemo is a very low dose so I don't have any side effects usually. Any new Electrolux anyone?
