That's because you're a rockstar.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Compassionately intolerant
Given the dog hair and basic crapitude of my carpet's quality, the roomba would only be able to do 3 square feet before filling up I fear. Otherwise, I'd love it considering my herculean hatred for vacuuming.

Even a roomba feels like too much work to use most of the time. I have to clean it out so much and that's a pain in the ass.
Obviously there needs to be a robot that cleans out roombas.

And Jesse's doesn't have sequins -- that's how we know she's a cowgirl.

She's old school, or ranch I suppose.
In domestic news, Emaryn came home with a 'think sheet' last night. Apparently, she got a little hyper in line and hurt a boy somehow, I never really understood exactly how it happened. Ironically, it was the boy that she has a bit of a crush on. Love hurts.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
All Roomba discussion reminds me of Sars' Viva La Roombalución! post. That post consistently makes me laugh until I cry. Another Roomba post, with the immortal line of, "Stop! Collaborate and SPIDER!"

Punishingly Intricate

GENIUS!
The roomba freaks out my dog and not in an amusing way. In a "I'm going to pace around for a good long while and not settle down and run into things because I'm blind and disoriented" way.

Our wings are not tired.
My bedroom is easy for the roomba. The livingroom, there's a couple of spots I routinely have to rescue it from [and why does it ALWAYS head right back to where it got stuck/wedged/trapped?!I have a masochistic roomba?] and a lot of arranging I have to do. I've been using it a lot in the bedroom because the kitten can make a mess from nothing.
Sarameg, I don't know which model you have, but the one I've got actually came with a couple of 5" high R2-D2 looking guys who send out laser beams or somesuch to block Buster (Roomba) from going places he shouldn't go. Um, I'll do some research and come back with something more helpful than this gibberish.
ETA: The R2D2s are called "Virtual Walls". You can buy them separately; don't know if they'll work with your model.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My Roomba has ceased to be an effective cleaning device due to overexposure to a curious toddler. But it's still a pretty great pettoy.

Oh, that's sad, lisah. Poor pup.
The older cats now ignore the roomba and give it dirty looks as the leap away when it has the temerity to bump into them.
Loki's gotta watch it. I suspect it is only a matter of time before he attacks it or tries to hitch a ride. I might attach one of his fake mice to it!
