Anybody ever tried Flowbee factory direct Also Flowbee deluxe with vacuum? Guess I wouldn't expect much "style" from it. |
The people that don't have one think it's the funniest thing ever. The people that have one won't admit they have one but think it's great.
I think it's great.

A person is not affluent until she has "money out the wazoo". That would agree with the definition of money "flowing freely".
I just remember this TV ad that was run during the tech bubble of 2000. It brings tears to my eyes, thinking of how my portfolio was adding a 4-digit and most often 5-digit sum DAILY in the early 2000, and I did not even own any dot-com stock. Perversely, I felt quite scared, but was not able to overcome my greed in order to sell high.
