This is just horrible.....just horrible! I can't keep from watching everything that's happening on TV. Out here in Bakersfield where things are dry as a bone, it's hard to believe. I absolutely love New Orleans, and this saddens me so much. My heart goes out to everyone. Please be safe! David

I think that Mother is more partial to the daughter in the dress. Notice that they both have the same expressions. Sister in the jeans looks like she'd love to push Sister w/the dress into the lake, but she dutifully smiles for the camera. Also, she hates having to wear the Frigidaire crown, but...

I remember there being TV commercials just like that ad. Of course they didn't show the hose filling the glass, but jumped forward to show the water in the glass. Never thought of that being a problem, back then! (hee-hee!) David

Well, didn't y'all read the description?? They're "antiques!" Very valuable, don'tcha know. (ha)

Jon, I admire your taking a stand. As a 42 yr. old, I'm impressed by the wisdom coming from an 18 year old. I wish I'd had a handle on things like that when I was your age. Thank you for contributing! David

Saw this old photo on eBay. Is this a picture of any of you guys?? (ha!!!) David http://cgi.ebay.com/Snap-Shot-of-Boy-Cat-in-Washing-Machine_W0QQitemZ6202614462QQcategoryZ14279QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

that G.E. fridge That same refrigerator is on "As the World Turns." Maybe that's why it's listed so high (ha!) The fridge is in Emma Snyder's farm kitchen, you know, Holden Snyder's "momma."

mugs I am so envious over those mugs!!! They're wonderful!! David

Home made ice cream is the best!! I am one of two kids, and when I was growing up, my mom would ask the birthday person (my dad, sister or me) what kind of cake they wanted and what flavor of ice-cream. Then the cake would be made, and the requested ice-cream would be made with the hand cranked...

I just spotted an owners' manual on eBay for a Kenmore Dryer. The seller doesn't know what year, specifically. The pictures look 1960's, though. David http://cgi.ebay.com/Sear-and-Roebuck-Kenmore-Dryer-Manual_W0QQitemZ7157945637QQcategoryZ13596QQssPageNameZWD1VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

More about Hoes.... DADoES, you are absolutely right! And Tex, I taught elementary school for 12 years, and it amazed me that the kids were really unfamiliar with that particular gardening or farming tool. They knew rakes and shovels, but not hoes. And, of course, anytime I would use the word...

I noticed an auction on eBay for a "1950's Speed Queen owner's manual," if anyone is looking for one. David http://cgi.ebay.com/1950S-SPEED-QUEEN-AUTOMATIC-WASHER-MANUAL-WARRANTY_W0QQitemZ7539745455QQcategoryZ71256QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Fascinating, Patrick! A friend and I were just wondering, recently, what colors were available, esp. in the 50's. I can report, from personal experience, a different color name for Frigidaire. My parents bought a washer in 1980 or 1981, and the color was called "wheat." I was disappointed when...

Mixed up Wives' Tales OK, Bob, Tex, and anyone else who's reading this, it seems I got my "wives' tales" mixed up. True, my grandmother fussed at my mom for hanging clothes on the line while she was pregnant w/me, as one is not supposed to raise one's arms above one's head....BUT, I remembered...

OOPS.....sorry, Bob & Tex.... Hey guys, sorry for mixing you two up. Let's see, Tex, you're from Lubbock, and Bob, you're from Temple. My apologies for switching you two! David

Fellow Texans Hey, Bob! You're from Lubbock? So you, too have sand in your veins! (ha) I was born in Morton and we lived on a farm near Stegall. Wasn't long before we moved to another place near Baileyboro (love these names!) and my grandparents' farm was also near Baileyboro. We went to church...

Hello, everyone! I've visited this site numerous times, but just now decided to register. Good to know that there are others out there with similar interests! My family (parents, sister, grandparents, aunts, etc.) have always been bewildered by my fascination with washing machines. It seems...

OOOPS....Sorry, Pulltostart....Before I left the above message, I didn't notice that you had already alerted everyone to the eBay auction. Oh well....
