Happy weekend, everyone! How are you all doing this morning? I hope you’re doing great! Me? My day kicked off with chaos. My brand-new robot vacuum, the one that claims it can “learn my space”, got itself stuck under the sofa and spun like it was auditioning for a talent show while one of my cats tried to fight it. 🤦‍♀️🐱 After all that high-tech drama, I grabbed my old-school vacuum, and honestly, it did a better job. 😅

This got me thinking… what’s one household item you still prefer the old-school version of? Come share it in the forum!

Take a little trip down memory lane, it’s “Would the Grandkids Know This One?” time! Remember this old term? “Jive Turkey”.
