    This was very interesting. Thank you for posting and sharing with us! :flowerforyou:

    For visual purposes for my son...We weighed our vacuum a few days ago. I then added some other things from the bathroom onto the scale until I reached the same weight as "pounds I have lost." I then picked it up and attempted to run around the room flopping soap here, dropping the tissue box there...It was pretty funny. It sure showed him the downside of gaining 20+ pounds. He kept saying, "You weighed over a vacume more! WOW!" Nice visual of me running around lugging a vacuum, ey? LOL
