    An eBay Near-Miss

    I would have sent the same email For what it's worth... I think the buyer has the right to receive the items purchased in good condition, plain and simple. The problem is the seller (some) don't really care how they package the item... they just want to sell it and get rid of it. I have also...

    New Detergent Find

    While I don't know for sure.... But I would imagine that STPP is not legal in California (at least for a detergent additive); not with all of the EPA B.S. that it flying around these days. I do have a bucket and never use the stuff (... yeah right!) I got it for the suds. With a front...

    Finally! A candy bar for us!

    Chock full O'Nuts........ Finally a candy bar that I can sink my teeth into..... In San Diego, we have a restaurant in the Hillcrest Area with the name of "MO's". I never made the connection until now..... like Duh? (ducks and runs)

    American Made Junk!

    imho........ I too agree that the quality of American products are, let's just say: unsatisfactory. The applicances and cars built 40-70 years ago I think are much better. I still use my 1956 Westinghouse electric stove everyday; I vacuum my floors with a '52 Electrolux and the list goes on...

    Dog Urine

    The Baking Soda makes sense; adding an alkaline/base to an a That's exactly what you do in this case. You can't "eliminate" the smell of urine. The urine-smell will dissipate over time, but again, it's through chemical action/reaction that will reduce the smell. You can cleanse the area so...

    Dog Urine

    Removing Urine smells........... For what it's worth, I have a cat that, when upset, leaves me a smelly urine puddle to clean up. I've always used Baking Soda. About a cup or so, added to regular laundry detergent, gets out the smell. I have a front loader and the Baking Soda dissolves well...

    OK, Now it Won't Ring

    Here's the wiring schematic for WE 500 I was able to find this site that is dedicated to the WE500. I'm not sure if this will help... but it's worth a looksee. http://www.porticus.org/bell/telephones-500.html

    UK Hit By 5.2 Earthquake

    I just love them I also wish all are safe across the lake. But living in Southern California, you get really used to them. I guess it's like the hurricanes or tornados of the southern and central regions of the US. You know you'll get them and you just prepare for them. Just be sure you have an...

    Picture Of The Day (28-2-08) - Salvo Tablets

    We used Salvo tabs I remember my mother alternating between Dash and Salvo in the late 60s - early 70s, when I was growing up. She liked the tabs better than power, because they didn't suds that much and they were very convenient: open the cellaphane packet, drop the tabs into the water and...

    Airing their Wet Laundry

    I was wondering when they would legislate that.... I'm a firm believer in using a clothesline. I use a "pop-up umbrella" type for good weather that retracks and can be put out of the way and I have a line in the garage when it rains. I do admit, however, I dry all of my towels in the dryer; I...

    Help With Dead Telephone

    OOOps! I meant to say that I have a couple of Western Electric 302s... I guess I had Singer Sewing Machines on the brain.

    Help With Dead Telephone

    I don't know if this helps... but Check the solder connections. If you used the same line on two different phones and one worked and the other didn't, then it's a power issue, or rather, not receiving any. I'm no expert on this stuff, but I have a couple of Western Electric 301s and both had...

    Netflix?

    Just love it My partner and I have been using Netflix for several months now. We have the 2 disc plan and it works well with our schedules. We've been talking about upgrading, but hey, he's paying for it, so why not upgrade, right? The best part is that you don't have to go the video store to...

    Obscene images confiscated from Abercrombie & Fitch store, manager charged

    Having a teenaged daughter, I have to admit, I did the parental censorship; and yes, sometimes I went overboard with it. But, in reality, it boils down to one thing: common-sense..... What do you want your children to be exposed to? The real world? Or some parental-controlled/censored...

    Yet Another Retro Television Commercial

    Where were you in 1989? 25 years old, in college, and dealing with a messy divorse. For me, 1989 was not a very good year.

    Maytagbear = Polar Bear

    It always helps to add the WIFM..... Lawrence, Toggle is 150% right on this one! It's all about the WIFM Factor. In a past life, I had a few properties that I rented out. And depending on the tenant, I admit, I would be more or less reluctant on making upgrades or improvements (including...

    Housing Costs-Home Owership Verus Renting

    Like with everything, you just have to do the math..... Long story short, I looked at renting vs. buying. When I bought my current house in 2001, I didn’t have much money for a down; I had to do some creative financing. But what I came up with was this: Based on the selling price, my “net” per...
