They really don't try and sell u more? My first internship in US was with Westgate Resorts and after working there for two summers I vowed to never ever buy one :). Their sales ppl are visious. They bring you in, even when u re an owner, for a pretend "maintenance survey" and than try and upgrade you or sell you a room in a different part of country...

Oh, I see what you mean. They tried that years ago but apparently gave up since I haven't heard anything from them for a long time.

My wife and I always answer the calls, set up the appointments, sound all interested..... and then don't go.

Strangely enough, they stop calling after a few missed appointments!

The Roomba is an awesome invention! I actually got the scooba, a little more pricey than the roomba, but no more washing floors for me. Its pretty smart technology, if you fill it with anything besides the Irobot clorox solution or vinegar it keeps saying "check tank" and will not run on anything else.

As for the freebies, a safe site for free small ####### is Walmart . I think they get new products weekly.

Not according to most wives.

Could not resist replying.. I do think this is freaky..

First, I do not agree with "thats what wives are for right?" . I do not think my wife is for that, and would hate if she thought she was.

And I just can not imagine why would anyone like ironed underwear or towel.. Unless it's some kind of fetish thing.

Towels and underwear from dryer are soft, much more pleasant. Bedding maybe, it looks nice ironed and might feel ok, ironed shirts are nice, but not underwear or towels.

Being Russian myself, I can understand that a lot of Russian ladies like to iron things and used to it, but I lived here for too long to like it myself I guess.

I also do not think it's a good thing for a family if your wife spends too much time with iron in her hands. If she does, don't complain that she does not learn to drive soon enough or does not get adjusted well enough. You might be asking for trouble if you expect her to iron your undies all the time while you sip beer with buddies.

In Russia I too ironed everything because there are NO dryers! And clothes and towels that dry on the line in the kitchen get rough and crunchy. Also there are no permanent press sheets in Russia and they are not usable unless ironed after washing. And when you don't want the wet wash hanging all over the apt for days it's faster to dry things by ironing. But in America you guys should give your wives a break and show her the permanent press cycles on the old Maytag.

I never understood the idea of sleeping on ironed sheets, once you sleep on them they are wrinkled, do you iron them every day or do you change your sheets every day, thats like using a new towel every morning after a shower, shoot talk about wasting money on water and electricity.

I like my pants ironed, which my wife does when she irons her jeans(why I have no idea do jeans wrinkle?). I wear polo shirts to work every day so no ironing for them. Thats all I will say about that I dont mind ironing when I have to I just dont like to have to.

Sounds to me like your husband has a VERY SWEET WIFE.

My wife irons every little thing too and every time I see her ironing my old t-shirt I try to think up a new way to show her how much I value her.

This week we have a Greek Festival going on and I want to take her ... she loves that kinda stuff.
