    New ride

    I like that blue! I'm still chugging along in my VW TDI beetle that's now 24 years old and will hit 350,000 miles next week. Of course we have other vehicles for travel such as our awd Acura MDX and my forever truck a Nissan frontier 4x4. Congrats on the new car! One of life's great thrills.

    I made soap!

    I de-molded the soap this morning and did the zap test and I'm happy to say it has all saponified. I still can't use it for six weeks or so. I left it natural white and unscented...it just smells like soap. I took some of the crumbs and used them to wash my hands and it lathered very well. It...

    I made soap!

    Any soapers on here? I just made a simple batch of coconut oil soap to use during winter when my skin is most dry and I can't find any soap I really like commercially. So far it has turned out nice and is now curing for about six weeks.

    Frigidaire gas range power burner

    Thanks John. I think it is a 12k burner. It is smaller than the one on my own stove and it is a 15k..and mine the flame goes waaay out under a skillet. Next time I'm down there I'll go farther into it.

    Frigidaire gas range power burner

    My mother's gas stove LFGF3019NSA has a power burner on the front right side. Mother says it doesn't seem to be as hot as it used to be and she lit it to show me and I agree the flame does not flare out as wide as it used to. What would cause this? I looked down into the center hole and it's...

    What is your favorite washer of all time?

    ASKO Miele Maytag-either orbital or Pittman driven. I love the turquoise agitators but the simplicity of my orbital.

    Putting dish soap in a washing machine

    Waaaay back in the day when we nurses had to wear the white uniforms we would occasionally use cascade or some dishwasher detergent in the load to keep them white. But that was when the powders were all chlorine based.

    Putting dish soap in a washing machine

    I keep a spray bottle with diluted dawn dishwashing liquid in my laundry cupboard to spray in grease spots that get in my clothes. If that doesn't, lestoil usually will.

    Mattresses aargh

    Just give me an old fashioned hard side water bed and I'll be happy. We have a memory foam mattress I bought off eBay several years ago on our king bed. It came rolled up and vacuum sealed in plastic. It has held up fairly well. I need to put a pillow topper on it. Sleep number beds are fabulous!

    Manufacture year for this Hotpoint Gas range?

    Remove the igniters or just remove the gas valve under the bottom. Or disassemble everything you can. Spray paint a big red X across the top. If that doesn't get the message across they are too stupid to breathe.

    What’s the best detergent for a Vintage dishwasher?

    I buy premiere chlorinated powder in eBay or from Zoro. Works great in my 94 KitchenAid and my 97 Maytag.

    what would be your dream vintage dishwasher to own in 2025

    I have one of mine Kudi23 just like my mother's. She got hers in 1994. Mine was also built in 1994 but I acquired it just a few years ago and it was still brand new unused with the energy tag still hanging in it.

    1973 Poppy Frigidaire trash compactor

    My childhood friend Scottie's parents had one like this. We used to love it when a bottle would explode in it.

    Good Electric Cooking Burner

    I set mine on the gas cooktop. A while ago I special ordered a custom solid black plastic cutting board from a seller on eBay that completely covers my stove top. When I need the gas I just pick it up and set it on the table. Otherwise it gives me extra counter space. I took a heavy duty air...

    New Production Vintage Incandescent Light Bulbs

    I like warm white LED bulbs. I really don't notice any difference in the light quality and I can use brighter bulbs without the heat of incandescent bulbs.

    Good Electric Cooking Burner

    Duxtop 1800 watt portable induction cooktop. I've had one for about 10 years and it's used regularly. Got it on Amazon back then. Shop around for best price. I only use the gas when I'm heating multiple items like for a holiday meal. It doesn't heat up the kitchen and it is FAST! I liked it so...

    Cooking with gas burners

    I've heard people say gas dryers yellow clothes but in my 30 years of using one I have not experienced this. I can see if there are smokers in the house maybe, but not in mine nor my mother's houses.

    Cooking with gas burners

    Min and both grandmother's had electric while I was growing up but mom switched to gas in 1992 and now says she won't go back. During the ice storm of 1994 we didn't have power but we could cook, we had heat and we could take showers. It influenced my sister and her husband to have all gas in...
