My Greek relatives came to the United States and while here bought a Miele German washing machine. It is my understanding that they have GROSS dollars and found the prices here very low (relatively) in that their customary V.A.T. (hidden/built-in taxes) are not included here. I'm not sure...

oooh dont say "unfair", it means "I dont like it". We pay with NET dollars, having paid out 35% or more of our GROSS income as as taxes. So $39.99 + 8.25% LOCAL/STATE sales tax = $43.29 Grossing the price up up means we have to earn $67.15 to have enough money left over (after income taxes)...

Where quarts are approximately equal to litres. Includes: Pot with lid 5 Qt, Pot with lid 3 Qt, Saucepan with lid 1 Qt and Frying pan diameter 11". Add another two 2 qt. pots and one frying pan that is NON non-stick and that should be plenty for 90% of the population's cooking needs. oh...

LOVE HER!

You would think the instructions to THIS important document would be in other languages! IIRC Out-Q radio was saying the only way to get counted as a gay person --unoficially by other organizations that interpolate and extract data-- is to mark unmaried same-sex partners in the box. (Single...

P.C. Richard & Son(s), Inc. Next day delivery, good prices, nice assortment to choose from.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Love it! Still find it interesting that dryers there (as shown) are (were?) so tiny and wall-mounted!

oooh oooh ooh may I fill in the blank? LOL

God Bless Canada;, they put up with us! Hey PeteK, THIS ONE IS FOR YOU READY? God Bless America, honey. (Becuase no one else will). Where else can a poor black boy grow up to be a rich white woman!

And it will have to be an ANONYMOUS gift, WITHOUT my fingerprints on it! She'll have all three (ficticious) CSI units like white-on-rice! ~she actually used a tape measure to keep everything in it's place. But how, when, where do these - er -- uh interesting people determine what is...

Thirty does go into 60 twice. OMG Please! No! Certian things one has no desire to share!

Some commercial dryers (100+ K BTU/h input) can go as high as 190*F. Most, IIRC are not kept that high. Most home-use dryers AFAIK are designed for 140*F to 160*F or less.

~I think this woman is headed for a one way trip to looneyville soon. I think her issues are exacerbated by her recent divorce. GOOD POINT! I think many women are "wired" to need to love and be loved and to nurture / love SOMETHING! She may believe her divorce was a random occurance, an...

Well I have it on good authority (my secretary -- half Irish--just came back from Ireland) that corned BEEF is an American invention. Apparently, as I heard it, the Irish and the Jews lived in the same neighborhoods in America, and one was not able to get pork (the authentic "thing") either in...

...and garlic. Lots of garlic. LOL perhaps you should wear a necklace of garlic bulbs, just for sh--s and giggles! Oh, child you have your hands full. My father is a Scorpio who probably has Aspergers. "Off" but inexplicably so. Oh yeah and mildly OCD. You just couldn't put your finger on...

How about tying the rungs of the ladder to the wrought-iron railing and throwing some cut-to-fit plywood shees over the ladder? This will achieve a safer platform from which to work.
