Hi Jim. Sorry to hear that you do not have men on the altar guild...my altar guild career goes back to my home parish, All Saints, Bayside, NY where that was considered "women's work". My late mother would not hear of it and once I expressed an interest in the altar guild, my mom approached the...

Hi Randy. Those are beautiful pictures of church organs. Yesterday was the last day for the organ in my church. I do not know much about organs, but it is an "Allen" and has been sold as we have purchased an Aeolin Skinner. Installation starts today and it should be up and running by June. Ross

Hi Bob. Everyone is welcome at my church. The majority of Episcopalians are not "cradle Episcopalians". We certainly have a number of defectors from the Roman Catholic church. We just got a Roman priest who wanted to get married so he is spending a year in my parish to learn about us and then...

And lastly, I am also on the Altar Guild. I do all the washing and ironing...communion linens, vestments, etc. I keep my priest looking good, thanks to the miracle of Mexican detergent (Viva), extra phosphates, hot water, Mexican bleach (Chloralex), bluing, and Mexican fabric softener (Ensueno).

And here is a picture of my priest, Fr. Mike just before mass wearing the biretta (hat) that I also bought and donated in memory of my parents. That was the only way I could get him to agree to wear it. In the Episcopal Church we have open and universal communion to all who are baptized and if...

Hi Randy. I go to Christ The King Episcopal Church here in Tucson, AZ. The parish is located in the middle of 10 acres so we have the stations of the cross outside and I lead the annual hike on Good Friday. I have influenced my priest to go for more "high church" or more "catholic like". I...

In my opinion, all this "going green" hysteria is alot of hipe and the only green is the green that I see going into Al Gore's pocket. A $450.00 DD Whirlpool vs a front loader that costs between $1,000.00 and $1,400 EACH....by the time you make up the price difference in water and energy...

I sincerely hope that we will always have a choice of front loaders AND top loaders. There is no need for some government bureaucrat to tell me how to do laundry. Ross

Hi Robert. Thank you for posting the pictures...they sure were fascinating. Ross

Here is my bolt down Kenmore. Ross

Hi Jon. Thank you for remembering the good times here in Tucson at our wash ins. I sure hope to have more in the future. My best wishes to you both for a Happy New Year. Ross

A big thank you to Glenn (Dadoes) for posting Calypso videos. I enjoyed watching all of them. Ross

Hi Eugene. I am also on 20mg of Lisinopril. I take 10mg twice a day and it works great. As a type 2 diabetic, my doctor wants my blood pressure below 110/70. A few years ago, I lost 70lbs and that is what got my blood sugar A1C down to 5.9 (my doctor wants it below 6.3) and my average blood...

Hi Larry. Back in July, I bought Whirlpool Duet to wash king size bedding. It works ok but sometimes, I open detergent drawer and stick hose in to add water to the tub. Ross

Now there will be a "Cash For Clunker" appliances. I certainly plan on holding on to my vintage washer collection. What comes next...

Hi Kevin. Your machine looks slightly different from mine. Maybe a year or so difference. Good luck and enjoy the wash action. A front loader that actually gets water in the tub. Ross

I remember Vim as small blue tablets. Salvo tablets were larger and also white. Ross

Too bad Joan did not use any of her Mommie Dearest routines on Veda. She certainly deserved to get beat with a wire hanger. Ross

And here is a picture of my Thor. Ross http://automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/00ShowCollectionGETD.cgi?photoshow=17@1950%20Thor%[email protected]&dir=/COLLECTIONS/WESTYSLANTFRONT/

Thor I grew up with a Thor Automagic. We only had the washer tub. I have a Thor but it is in the repair shop. Machine will not drain until the pump burps. The machine has already had extensive repairs and I look forward to getting it back. Ross
