My cousin's first job out of college was selling Kirby vacums.  He entreated and presented to all our aunts, uncles, nanas and grandpas enticing those of substantial income to buy his vacuum.

His own mother bought an Oreck vacuum, which just goes to show that blood is not thicker than a vacuum cord.  This Oreck is a sweet vacuum.  For more info about the Oreck vacuum along with numerous other products, visit http://oreck.com/

I would like to follow my smart Auntie's example and own an Oreck of my own, so I've entered a contest to win one.

You can join, too, but if you win, please let me have Tues / Thurs custody?!?
