    Are electric meters ever wrong? Or why am I using so much electricity.

    Electric meters and water meters both typically tend to slow down as they age. If your meter is 45 years old, and you complain and have evidence to back up your complaints, the electric company may be willing to consider a replacement. Those meters cost well over $1,000 in most cases, so it's...

    Chinese GE dishwashers! what?

    Lowes sells them too. Wouldn't buy one...would gladly pay $400 more for a GE tall tub made right here in the good old USA!! If consumers will send manufacturers that message loud and clear by refusing to by this shit, it will go away.

    U.S. House's Health Care Reform Bill

    "It turns out we were right: The provision would indeed outlaw individual private coverage. Under the Orwellian header of “Protecting The Choice To Keep Current Coverage,” the “Limitation On New Enrollment” section of the bill clearly states: “Except as provided in this paragraph, the...

    TV Listings from 10/14/83

    There were very few good shows that originated in the 80's. They were kind of moronic if you ask me. The 60's and the 70's were a different story. Today's TV is far better in many ways, though there is still plenty of crap on, there are far more channels to spread it out over. Nothing of the...

    Dishwasher I.D.? (Pic Inc'l)

    Those Waste Kings were built like true tanks. No flexing in the door hinges whatsoever, and solid panel stainless interiors, unlike today's "soft" surgical stainless they use in many interiors. This was more an industrial grade stainless steel. The one thing I hated about them is that the timer...

    Dishwasher I.D.? (Pic Inc'l)

    This was the base Waste King of it's time. It was all stainless, with a full size lower wash arm and a pop up tower to wash the upper rack. The Full Cycle progressed as follows: Wash (6 min) -> Wash (4 minutes) -> Rinse (2 min) -> Rinse (2 min) -> Sani Rinse (2 min + water heating time) -> Dry...

    Sudsman...those are excellent points. And the price/cleaning ratio cannot be beat.

    Testing HIV +

    There are a number of members here, as well as friends of mine, too, who are far from morally bankrupt "party boys". Respectable, successful, intelligent people contract HIV also. Sometimes it's a case of poor judgement, other times, a broken condom, sometimes through plain deception of a...

    Brand anyone?

    She washed dishes by hand for 7 years until I bought her a new one for her birthday. After it stopped working, you could get it to start up once in a while, so it would get used every now and then, but it sounded like a cheap garbage disposal. It didn't wash well at all, so unless you pre-rinsed...

    Speed Queen Washer and Dryer

    Does the washer fill to the top using the highest water level setting? Or have they reduced the highest fill level?

    Brand anyone?

    Mom's 1969 Waste King dishwasher was badged "Waste King Universal Stainless Steel Dishwasher Dryer". All Stainless inside, with tower wash for the second rack. It lasted all of one year, then slowly rotted from the inside out after it stopped working. Her next one, a 1978 Waste King with two...
