New Car ad's You know your dealing with a dinosaur of a dealer when they list Power steering Power brakes Rear defroster Power windows Power Locks Air Conditioning. I don't think you can even get a car today, even the most basic inexpensive ones, without the first 3, and honestly, even most...

The counter depth, stainless steel, side by side, GE I bought in 1999 is still running / looking beautiful in my last house. Even my cheapo GE traditional fridge in this house is 7 years old and never a problem. My partner worked in Samsung's call center for awhile, I would stay away from...

I was just reading the specs on todays pic of the day and am wondering how the washer managed to spin at 900rpms and not roll itself out the door? Did the wheels lock?

A good old midwest boy here Born and raised in the Detroit area. A short stent as a farm boy on the west side of Illinois (mom's second marriage) then back to Michigan. Then as an adult, Chicago for 9 years, Brooklyn, NY for 2, and now a Jersey resident for the last 15 years.

I didn't become "handy" until later in life. I was never into tearing things apart when I was a kid. I lost my father at 7 so I never really had the exposure to fixing things. However, during those early years, I learned all there is to know about housekeeping, cooking, and baking from my mom...

Kevin, That looks fantastic and I can't wait to give it a try, I love meatloaf of any kind. I should send you my recipe for "deli style" meat loaf. Its a meatloaf that is rolled out jelly roll style and filled with corned beef, saurkraut, and Swiss cheese,...its SICK!!

Wow, Martin, that is totally crazy!!!! We didn't have anything like that up here, just lots or rain and thunder and lightning. Glad you are mostly ok. I know how nerve racking a freak storm like that can be. How bad is the Jeep? Make sure the insurance covers absolutely every single dent...

Do NOT buy a new Toro, the one that was highly rated by Consumers Reports. It is simply the worst lawn mower I have ever had. The "sure start" should be called "eventually starts" after about 10 - 15 pulls. So much debris bounces out of the bottom when bagging that I have to move the cars out...

How about something like this? It will last another 100k miles and I fill mine with all sorts of mulch etc and never had a problem...

Which brings me to my current car...130,000 miles and still a champ!

Then this one.....which sadly, I totaled while spinning out of control on black ice....

99 Subaru Forester Then I went totally boring, but totally safe and secure with this one....

96 Dodge Avenger ES Then it was finally time to give up rear wheel drive cars while trying to do winters in Chicago..so I got this....

Then I just HAD to get my first brand new car (the other 2 were used) so I got the 8th generation of Cougar. Sure did love this one but it never broke any speed records...

A 1987 Cougar XR7 with a 5 litre v8.. This car hauled some serious ass!!! Mine was the most beautiful burgundy color with matching interior. Can't find a pic of it yet.

This was my first fast car 1986 Mercury Cougar xr7 Turbo. Such a cool car but sadly had turbo problems in two years so I traded it in for........

Once a Sube, always a Sube. Couldn't agree more. Congrats on the new ride. Very sharp looking!! I'm on my 3rd Subaru now and am just beginning to think about a new one (135,000 miles, 9 year old Outback LL Bean) I was just at the dealer having service and really liked the Impreza but that it...

That was nice Eddie. I can't tell you how many times I went through a drive through on the way home from the restaurant because I didn't have time to eat. But as I worked my way up in management it was sometimes easier to sit for a minute while doing the books etc and scarf something down. Now...

Forced air, oil fired, very old furnace (30years) located in the crawlspace under the house. Terribly inefficient and sooo expensive to run. $250 a month on average and that's keeping the house at 61 with an occasional splurge to 63. Space heaters in the rooms we use the most so its not all bad...

Thanks for posting that Laundress. Being from Detroit I always have a soft spot for pictures of a time gone by. My family has a long history in the Detroit area, having come over from Canada illegally in 1890 when the Detroit river was frozen. My great grandparents settled 'downriver" in River...
