The best advice I can give is to keep hydrated and make your "sickroom" as warm as possible, so you can sweat it out! I'm also a firm believer in closing all shades, blinds, window treatments, etc. in the room. It helps to create psychological distance between the outside world, helps you to...

IIRC, it's not the brush, but the form of the Easy-Off, as the aerosol version contains either alcohol, or some derivative of it that is not permitted under certain authorities. There are certain stringencies that are followed during the Passover holiday period regarding many popular cleaning...

"No wonder I haven't seen liquid, brush-on Easy-Off brand lye oven-cleaner for a while." T, you will probably be able to find this product in any major kosher supermarket in Queens, the UWS, or Brooklyn, as the Passover season approaches. It is a very popular product, but is generally only...

Done. Thank you!

How do you feel about Frigidaire for a front-loader, then? They seem to be very reasonably priced and come in several different sizes... I don't recall reading any nightmare stories about them here.

"And of course, my five Fisher & Paykel appliances with up to eight years of use with no repairs aren't included in the statistics. LOL." What strikes me as odd about this is the fact that CR, which is based in my general area, claims to cull their appliances randomly from local appliance...

I LOVE...LOVE...LOVE...the looks of this pair. My favorite American FL up till now, appearance-wise, was the Frigidaire Affinity, but this knocks it out of the water! Question...those panels that make up the racks on the sides couldn't possibly be made of plastic, could they? :0

My grandmother would NEVER use anything but plain Ivory bar soap to wash the dishes with! To her way of thinking, the bottled dish liquid was wasteful... I know castile soaps are in vogue right now, but they just don't get me clean in the shower...for that, I need old-school Ivory or aque Zest...

I have the chandelier cleaner from Hagerty. It comes in a pump spray bottle. I usually open a cheap umbrella, and hang it upside down from the chandelier, in order to catch the dirty drips.

Oh, I forgot to mention that JCPenney is apparently opening stores on Fulton Street in Brooklyn, across from Macy's, and in Herald Square (Manhattan Mall)!

Laundress, could you possibly furnish us with an example of such a brand-name fabric softener, suitable for this purpose? I'm guessing if "thick and tallow-like" don't cut it, you're probably not referring to the latest versions of Downy and Snuggle....:) Thanks to everyone on this issue. This...

It's really unbelievable, how everything has changed there. The Satmar Hasidim have expanded their community all the way to Park Avenue by Flushing Avenue, and Myrtle and Marcy. There's also a developer named Scarano who keeps throwing up these strange brick multi-family dwellings in EVERY...

"And you're right, "L", no trip downtown was complete without a stop at Junior's - I still do that occasionally. One of my faves was their "Broadway" ice cream soda which was a chocolate soda with coffee ice cream. Now that was a grand treat!!!" Me, too. The very chi-chi "Kings" supermarket by...

"As to Macy's, well, their stores in my area are some of the most depressing - badly maintained, dirty with poor merchandise selections unattractively displayed. I feel like we are being held hostage since we really have no other department store choices." I was a part-time Macy's employee for...

I hate my GE toaster oven from WalMart (I have the big one with the slanted front and the electronic controls)... Under-the-counter toasters (and coffeemakers, for that matter) are no longer available in my area. Before the GE, I had a DeLonghi counter model that worked far better than this...

"We'll likely be the first state in the U.S. to come up with serious gun control eventually and I will gladly contribute to that cause." But why would we want the neocons to have all the weapons, and endorse legislation that would prevent US from arming ourselves against them? Shane...based on...

Glad you guys are all okay. Let's face it, these are just the manifestations of all the evil there is in the world today. This goes beyond any sort of mental or emotional breakdown or disturbance....you have to have total contempt for human life in general to march into some public place and...

I like the Final Touch as well... I also like the Downy "Cashmere" too, but it can irritate my skin if I use more than just a leeeetle bit, lol! Suavitel is hit-or-miss but the new "Aromatherapy" ones are good. I'm surprised no one has come out with a "Tea Tree" fabric softener! I have an...

Launderess! Just so you know, the Stop and Shop chain of supermarkets is still carrying the Cheer Free and Gentle powder, and I remember you had good luck with that product. Maybe it might be worth your while to hit the store in Long Island City and stock up! Is Tide with Bleach powder really...

I do know that it is not permitted for you to be without heat entirely if the landlord's responsibility is to provide it (how MUCH heat he decides to provide is another story)... For this reason, DO run out and buy an oil-filled radiator, but it might be the better part of wise to just roll it...
