    Top Job Laundry Detergent? Who Knew?

    Run away as far as you can. It resembles the "new" Solo and Dash products in that they are the same type of watery, cheap, and smelly liquids on the "super economy" price tier. In order to get any effectiveness out of it, you have to use so much of it that you are virtually guaranteed a nasty...

    Laundering advice...

    The exact same thing happened to me recently, and I used chlorine bleach in the wash anyway. They came out fine, with no problems.

    This is really beyond belief

    "I just wanted to point out what the current crop of Republicans is doing to the world...." Maggie, I agree with you, but if the Democrats allow them to get away with it, are they one iota better than the Republicans? How many of our problems as a nation are actually fundamental defects of the...

    Horde Up Those Powders While They are Still Available!

    I picked up two boxes of Tide with Bleach at Walgreens last week, because they were 2 for $7.... The supermarkets still seem committed to carrying the Tide and Arm and Hammer powders....they are not decreasing the space allotted them, but fewer variants of each are available. I've also...

    Keeping Warm This Winter. Gas? Oil? Coal?

    I have gas, hot water baseboards...but I have an oil-filled radiator, a convection heater that heats up lickety-split, a quartz infrared tower for the bathroom, and a few other small supplemental space heaters. I'm anticipating the rates will be SKY HIGH this year, and I've resolved to be even...

    Automatic Beyond Belief!

    There's even a website devoted to them! From the site: "From the late 1940's to 1997, the upscale toaster market was dominated by this classic from Sunbeam. Its sophisticated lines, art deco styling, and consistent toasting quality made it a pleasure both to the eyes and the palate." This is...

    My GE Stereo comes home

    That is VERY cool, petek. Enjoy it in good health. "...when did we stop believing that we deserved to have things look like this?" That's a damn good question....every time I see yet another Bose Wave radio, I must admit, they sound okay, but why did they have to design it to look like the...

    loading advice

    IMHO, you don't need even that much borax. Try keeping the clothing and bedding loads seperate, if it's feasible. IMHO, the best odor-removing detergent is Tide with Bleach original powder, followed by Gain with Bleach powder. If you insist upon liquid, try the new Arm & Hammer with Oxi-Clean...

    Wisk HE Liquid

    To Tide loyalists, Wisk IS "Brand X", lol!

    First trick or treaters tonight

    My neighborhood has a lot of Filipino families and they were the only ones to actually walk up and down the block, pretty much to other Filipino families who mostly hung out and socialized for most of the early evening....so it felt more like a big block party, more than anything else! One...

    Poor Dog!!

    Cats seem to freak out at the whole concept of us humans having anything to do with their hygiene, anyway! Lavamat, Ted doesn't seem to be having all that miserable time (although, toward the end, he seems to be indicating, okay, enough with the rinses...) Again, there's a higher threshold of...

    Amazingly funny!

    Hysterical...I loved it!!

    Bay Area Earthquake

    Wow! Glad to hear everybody's okay, and damages were limited. Actually, there was a bulletin last night, but very little about the aftermath this morning.

    How cruel!

    "Thanks to your so kindly sharing this with us, I am going to have nightmares for weeks. And I really don't appreciate that at all.&quot <br With all respect, isn't that a little bit of an extreme reaction <br Perhaps the best thing to do would be to re-title this thread, and make reference to...

    How cruel!

    Silly question, but what do you suppose such things look like <br The steak you eat is not fabricated by Whirlpool or TTI in some plant...that's why they are called SLAUGHTERhouses! <br Panthera, your reference to the coffins is an apt one. In my writing, nothing has amazed me more than the...

    Wisk HE Liquid

    "WiskHE and PublixHE are the same except the scent..." Actually, I think the same might be true of the "Stop and Shop" HE liquid....

    Changing detergent?

    "It's like that old myth that you should change shampoo brands every couple of months as your hair "gets used" to the stuff and it doesn't work properly. Lol!" Actually, that's not necessarily a myth! Over the last few years, most of our popular shampoos and conditioners have been reformulated...

    Halloween INSANITY

    Jeff, I hate to say it, but your managers are in for yet another double whammy if a sudden, unannounced fire inspection were to take place...

    Oxydol

    "Actually, the Oxydol powder is darn good stuff." Bummer. The stores up here don't stock the new powder, only the liquid!
