Jason, I think of the Japanese models you mention, the Honda Civic has always been a perennial favorite. It comes in many different flavors, including the Si, if you can find one. That car is a hoot to drive, albeit a little more expensive, with a little less on the mpg side. But it's still a...

One stuffed, roasted in the oven with a more traditional sausage/cornbread stuffing and the other smoked on the grill, lightly seasoned, with some combo of hardwoods. To top it off, fresh cranberries made with Grand Marnier liquer and some orange zest.

I still have my Calypso....bought it new in 2000 and going on 10 years old in April....still works perfectly, quiet, solid and cleans very, very well. Averages 12 - 16 loads per week - dog blankets, comforters, rugs, dog towels, etc. Does okay with dog hair, not as good as a Filter Flo, but...

The main benefit of the steam cycle is the ability to toss a few items in and refresh rather then having to iron, which I utterly hate to do. It works brilliantly, and as far as I'm concerned, is worth every penny. I've actually brought clothes over to my neighbor's house across the street since...

How absurd a thought that folks think that God sits there and doles out "good and bad" to this one and that one based on some whim or punishment. Like He says, "I'm gonna mess with this one today and give him a rash of shit to deal with". The bottom line is that shit happens. That's life. No...

I have found a very effective deterrent to be my pitbull and my st. bernard. It's amazing how many people DO NOT want to come any where near the house, let alone inside, with the girls at home!! At least the Jehovah Witnesses have stopped ringing the doorbell on weekend mornings. I just leave...

It's great to be a friend to one in need, but sometimes their own drama just begins to suck the life out of you. If you feel that this is causing you grief or driving a wedge into your relationship, then there is nothing wrong with asking her to stop if she refuses to take action to change her...

As far back as I can remember, Maytag dryer timers were always push to start. It seems as if your dryer's timer knob may be stuck in the "in" position, causing the machine to start as you turn the dial. I do not know how to disassemble one to check on this, but perhaps other members here do??

THat's because the general public thinks "new is better". HA!! If they knew what we knew, it would be a vastly different story.

I cook a lot and have a lot of dirty, disgusting dish towels and dishcloths. Some I even use to wipe up messes that spill on the floor. I don't even like putting them in the regular hamper because of the smell of oil, etc, but I do wash them along with the whites once a week in the Calypso on...

Why don't modern manufacturers offer a "pet hair" cycle? Lots of water.....

It's possible the pump itself is also worn out and just needs a replacement impeller. Those don't last forever. But I would check that water inlet valve first...these machines need a lot of water to work well.

Maybe using a bit too much fabric softener? I use just a drop when I use it, just enought to give a very, very light fragrance, which wears off after use, so that the next time I wash them, if I use no softener, you can't smell a thing but the scent from the detergent. Since fabric softeners are...

Generally, a standard 22,000 BTU gas dryer is roughly equivalent to an electric dryer with a 5600 watt heating element. Some electric dryers use smaller elements which will, of course, dry more slowly given their size. But my current Kenmore gas dryer takes exactly 12 seconds to ignite the...

One of biggest problems I have found in comparison shopping is that if you compare just the build quality of the comparable American products to many of the their foreign rivals, the foreigners win. It's a sad day. In many cases though, some of the foreign competition is even somewhat more...

You know, I have to say something here....it is VERY NICE to see everyone talk about a topic about which we don't all agree and be completely civil and open minded and have no name calling...this is quite nice. Good job boys!! Keep up the good work!

The "copy/paste, wait for a lash-out, respond with lengthy rebuttal" may have been done to death, but the facts still stand and we can't "wish" them away....

The washer was a rebadged Duet for sure, but the dryer was not. If you ever saw one close up and looked inside the machine, it looks NOTHING like a Whirlpool design, but rather looks like a commercial dryer you would find in a laundromat. It is also larger than the matching Duet dryer with a...

People have no scruples, but if I were a homeowner who was duped by my lender into a mortgage that I could no longer afford because they lied about the terms and I was too dumb to understand the written mortgage documents, then I could understand why I would want to remove my property (or what I...

Domestic and Int'l IT Management for a great, big insurance company.....
