That was a subplot that never got developed (pardon the pun). Sage and I are going to edit out references to it and that will proceed elsewhere.lake_wrangler wrote:By the way, whatever happened to Katherine's pregnancy, as started in Stainless Steel Angel?

We had a Kenmore canister with a detachable beater bar.
Lasted 36 years(my brother hated the noise, and tossed it so I couldn't fix it, or I'd still have Mother's old beast). He bought me a Boss...that wasn't.

I had a Kenmore like that, hard to kill. The hose was duct-taped in several places and the dog (pre-Jasper) hated it. But it worked like a champ. My daughter finally convinced me to replace it, I first tried another Kenmore but was terribly disappointed with the quality. Especially when it broke after a couple weeks. "So buy a Dyson", she said, "they're great!"
So I did. The canister one. And should have returned it but decided to fight it. The beater bar is air-driven and pitifully weak on carpet. Don't even think of using it on anything but a berber carpet. Now on tile (which is the majority of the first floor) it is great (with attachment for tile, the beater just scatters stuff). And while dusting don't get it close to anything not nailed down. But my opinion is... meh. And don't get me started on the commercial where the smiling actress easily dumps the canister contents into a waiting trash can. Looks great on TV when the canister is full of confetti. Try it with dirt, dust, dog dander, small fuzzy creatures, and dead sea scroll remnants. Not pleasant. Resulting dust plume, if you are not careful, undoes your work within a 6ft radius. With the Kenmore, you simply removed the bag full 'o stuff and set it gently in the trash. No fuss, no muss. Oh well. Rant over.

If there's avocado, you guys really need to take this to a different forum.
