And keep it defrosted. Don't let the ice build up. An idiot friend of mine had a vintage Servel, and never defrosted it. He kept the freezer door shut with a bungee because of the 4 inch ice build up. And then almost died from carbon monoxide poisoning.

I got two! First was when I was seven years old. My Daddy took me and two friends to a Saturday Matinee up in town. I'm sure he didn't know what "The Blob" was all about. We lasted about five minutes, until the scene when the old man pokes at the rock with his stick. The Blob comes out onto the...

Lint! The Equator stopped drying well a couple of years ago. Hubby cleaned a couple of pounds of lint out then, and now cleans it yearly. He found that a fridge coil brush works well. I clean the lint filter out every time I get home, about every two months. The machine is used lightly, so that...

Having been educated by you fine folks on some of the finer points of washing machines, I have a question for you. I have just realized that my Mom's Equator washer/dryer has never been run through a cleaning cycle. Mom washes everything in warm with liquid detergent, usually Arm and Hammer...

Ivory Snow and Ivory Flakes were around then, and I used Ivory Snow all of the time. I still miss them. Mom was a big Whisk liquid user then. She always had a box of LaFrance on the shelf for when we washed the curtains. I was great at getting out blood stains too. Wish I had known that Dial was...

They are just an overpriced (way, way overpriced) quartz heater in a box. Don't waste your money. The ceramic cube heater will work just as well. Tell your friend not to waste their money on one. When Consumer Reports rated space heaters, the Eden Pure (the most expensive at $400) came in dead last.

Eight O'Clock Been brewing since 1859, and my favorite store brand coffee. Mom used to put a couple of tablespoons of it in my milk to get me to drink it. They still make two of the blends I remember from childhood. Eight O'Clock in the red bag - it's called "original" now. Bokar in the black...

Yep, have mice in the crawlspace this year. Have just bought traps to put down there, baited with peanut butter just like Grandma taught me. As far as cats and mice, even a very good mouser will only catch the dumb mice. Used to live in a converted summer cottage. A Sears cottage, ordered from...

We have been using AVG on our computers, as well as installing it on many friends computers. It has protected us better than Norton, or McAffee. In fact, have had to uninstall Norton from friends computers several times, and then install AVG to rid these computers of viruses that Norton...

Why would someone want a new wringer washer? If they are buying from Lehman's Hardware, the store from the link, they are probably Amish or Mennonite. The washer would be modified to run from a gasoline engine, not a generator. Lehman's is located in east central Ohio, and caters to the Amish...

Chuckling to myself... Just too funny, that's priceless! I haven't had a good laugh like that in a while. Thanks for the laugh!

Cans wax lined... Nope, they are line with a resin. Wax would just melt during the heat processing canned foods go through. "Dr." Linda Posch sounds sorely misinformed.

Since we have had a few discussions of vintage tv, here's a link to an image gallery of 50 favorites of a local radio station. It's a lot of fun. Lisa http://wtam.com/cc-common/gallery/display.html?album_id=68196

It's OxyClean! If you look at the ingredients, they are the same as OxyClean, or Sun OxyWash, or practically any other of the percarbonate based powders. You are paying a lot of money for a tablet of sodium percarbonate and sodium carbonate. I use hot water and a percarbonate product for all of...

County Fair! I saw my first RadarRange at the Indiana County Fair (in Indiana, PA). I so looked foreward to my trip to cousins there at the end of the summer, so I could go to the fair, every day. I think I was about 10 years old. It was the middle of the day, in the middle of the week, and the...
