I remember my Mom using Pride liquid furniture wax very well. It smelled like gasoline to me. Eddie

Mariposa, My very first washing machine was a Maytag model J that I bought at the Salvation Army Thrift Store in ‘72 for $35.00. It had a pump and I used to use it in the bathroom which had a ball and claw bathtub in which I would wring the washed laundry into and used a broom handle to swirl...

I had an RCA 45 record changer/player like this one without the carrying case when I was in 7th and 8th grade. It had belonged to my grandpa originally. At Christmas time he used to play Christmas records on it that went through a speaker that was over the front door. Once on Christmas Eve a...

I’ll bet she did too! Eddie

No it’s not just you Launderess, I’ve noticed this too. Also lots of member names that I don’t recognize that have been members for years according to their profiles? Eddie

Matt, I believe that you just need to click on “view thread” directly below the post in all the jumbled words and all the photos in the thread can be viewed. They don’t automatically come up like they used to, but all the photos seem to be crystal clear. Eddie

Louie, I think if you click on the avatar or profile of the member you wish to block and select “ignore” that may block that member? Eddie

I think I’ll just stick with typing my name, but I guess it’s nice feature if that’s important to you. Eddie

I didn’t have to reset my password. I entered my USER NAME, not my REAL name and then entered my same password and got right on. I almost didn’t enter my user name because the login page directed “enter name”, but then my common sense got the better of me and I realized that my password was...

Yes Robert I’ve discovered this short cut too! Eddie
