Pluggers by Rick McKee for January 20, 2025

Vacume burps and farts?

Not so nice after cleaning up dog hair.

Not so nice, if dust mites could scream.

I love the scent of melted plastic needles caught in the motor.

Instead of Apocalypse Now … Christmas Tree Now …. I love the smell of Pine needles in the Morning ;-)

Doesn’t get out much does she?

I ran the Cub Scout/Boy Scout Christmas wreath sales for 13 years. 1000 Christmas wreaths make your garage smell great, but I was still sweeping up needles in July.

Apparently artificial needles have no odor.

We use dryer sheets in ours to have a fresh fragrance when we vacuum.

Plugger loves the pine scented car freshener.

Vacuum cleners SUCK.

I wonder if they love stepping on the ones the vacuum missed — in their bare feet — in the middle of the night?

And I love how mine gives off a not-so-lovely canine fragrance from all the pet hair I sweep up all year long! HAHAHAHA

Cleaning out the plugged up needles is another story with different vocabulary. :)

My mom hated live trees and all those falling needles. One year I had a live tree, but it started shutting even before Christmas. I was so tempted gather up a bag of the needles. The next time I went to her house I would spread them around. I’m not that evil.

that’s becuz some needles are stuck in the power head and starting to catch on fire!

B.S.!

Husband grew up with artificial trees for Christmas since he was a boy. I grew up with a Chanukah menorah instead. So we always have an artificial tree – oops, I mean 4 or 5 artificial trees (all but one are small ones).
