Why not ask for the moon. I say that because you are asking for alot. There is no such vacuum with your criteria. Even when you take away the last two that you permitted. You are going to have to re-examine your criteria. I am confused about what you want. Your first paragraph states that "All I want is a stick vac..." and your criteria states "Upright". These are two different types of vacuum cleaners. You can find a stick vac that has onboard tools, cord rewind, and uses paper bags. What it will not have is a long cord or attachments stored inside the body. Simplicity is a vac shop only brand that has a stick vac called the Quicksilver. Riccar, Simplicity's sister brand, also has the Omniclean. These stick vacs are going to weigh less than 10lbs. Emer also makes some larger stickvacs that use bags and have attachments, but the attachments are not onboard. This brand is going to be expensive. It would not be my first choice. There are a few upright vacuum cleaners that use an automatic cord rewind, but they are going to be about 15lbs. Panasonic makes few models under their brand like the MC-V7314. They also make Kenmore models. Some have automatic cord rewind. My suggestion to you is that if you do not like winding the cord on the hooks, why not loop the cord like a lasso. Then you could just hang it on the upper hook. Another bagged upright, that might work is a SEBO Felix. It uses bags, but weighs more than 10lbs. and no auto cord rewind. My suggestion would be to do a search and see what is out there, then decide what is more important in features.

I've been working from home for 3 years now using DSL. First at 1536/365, then 3072/768, and now 6172/768. I could probably get 12 mbps if I wanted it, but my margins would be quite a bit thinner and I really don't want to spend more. I didn't really need the faster speeds, I just took advantage of them when a better deal came along. The same speed from Time Warner Cable would be about $15-20 more a month, which is why I chose the DSL. If $ wasn't a factor, I probably would've gone with cable. DSL is a little bit more of a pain to troubleshoot when things go wrong, whereas cable is a bit more like set-it-and-forget-it. Fortunately, I've had very few service interruptions with my telco provider (Windstream). I plan to continue with them unless they give me a reason to leave.

You've gotten all the choices so far. I can only add one more thing. Can you become very, very good friends with your neighbor? Somehow if she knows you and your cat, the noise won't be as disturbing. I can't imagine your cat running for hours on end. Also, if you get to know your neighbor, you too can be more considerate of distracting your cat when you know your neighbor is still sleeping, or having friends over etc. She too will understand the need for your cat to play, at least sometimes. We have noisy side neighbors. My neighborhood is turning over to young families which is fine. And, I don't mind hearing kids shout while they play. But….it is the dad that is the issue. They play soccer I think and if a kids doesn't hit a goal the dad yells OOOOOOOOooooooo. But in a friendly way, like you almost got it! One day, this went on for two hours. I timed it. There is nothing we can do, and luckily we have breaks when they are not in the yard. It just shows you how one family's enjoyment can greatly be affected.by another.

Pleaseeeee don’t fall for the seeds you will see on Etsy , Pinterest or eBay. Gosh my own mother who had gardened as long as I’ve been alive ordered the rainbow rose seeds and I couldn’t believe it . I found the rose on help me find listed as possibly available in Texas . You would have to call the nursery and see if they could ship it to you ?! Good luck ! If no help there , maybe we can help find an acceptable rose that looks similar for you . :)
