Pickles by Brian Crane for September 14, 2014

So much for Mr. Helpful getting no thanks.

I’ve done this very thing! Embarrassing to admit but stubbornness doesn’t ask for permission.

Grammar Nazi moment: “kernel” is misspelled.

I have been know to pick it up then drop it again to give the vacuum cleaner another chance!!!

Kind of like trying to get raw rice out of tongue-in groove stairs after the wedding at home. .Ya just gotta pick it out.

You’re not going to get anywhere by not cheating.

HOw much electricity (money spent) did she use to “try” to get the kernel up. smh

Oh, SheMc, me too! Lol!

Opal needs the Binford Turbo 5000XL super deluxe. The souped up version by Tim Taylor works wonders.

That’s why I use two vacuums around the house. A Dyson canister and for those pesky problems a wet/dry vac aka Shop Vac.

@Pelican47 – Shop Vac. If it works on kitty litter, it’d probably work on rice.

Ummm … Brian … isn’t that “kernel”?

Actually saw a persin pick up a stuborn dust bunny and throw it back to give the vacuum one more chance,the garbage container was nearby also.

I need one of those vacs that can suck up a bowling ball..

It’s also the stress-free way, Opal.

Just saying.

Don’t bend like that to pick something up, Earl! That has a higher risk of back injury.

It’s time to adjust the suction or get a new one because how clean can the rest of the carpet be if it’s not working well? ick

Sometimes picking it up is the only way to win haha.

@Nicole-

Me too, well said! I usually end up laughing at myself while I finally pick it up.

@SheMc- ….and I’ve done that too!

Earl must fold up better than I do. I’d still be cheering for the vacuum!

Where’s Roscoe? If any unpopped kernels bounce out of the garbage can when emptying the popcorn bowl, my dog will catch and eat them before they stop moving.
