Ironed and STARCHED Decades ago in small town Ontario I spent a night at a small hotel, Rene's White House, with both starched and ironed sheets, what a comfortable luxurious bed that was! Launderess, do you have at home starching advice?

Thank you Robert, a big thank you for creating and running this site for all of us to learn, share and spend interesting time here. Yes of course do what is best for you in terms of retirement, it isn't as scary as I once thought, in fact it is the goal we spend years working toward.

hot water higher mineral content? I would call baloney on that, the water supplying your cold line and water heater is the same supply, wouldn't some mineral content if present precipitate out or otherwise collect on the hot parts of a gas tank's flue or electric heater's element thus hot...

Nice I like the light tan colour brick, new carpet, paint and paper, or not, and you are done. Certainly rooms aside from kitchen look larger than 1784 sq. feet.

Matt, now you're talking my kind of pyrogy, Ukrainian-Canadian style, cottage cheese mashed potato or sauerkraut-kapusta in Ukrainian- both with lots of golden sautéed onion mixed in. Served with full fat sour cream.Cherry or blueberry filled in the summer.Speaking of full fat, anyone else...

low rpm spin speeds Not that I often use the low (300 RPM) speed on my older Fisher&Paykel GWL11 I like the fact it is slower than most and will override any cycles preprogrammed spin speed if you do select slow. I wish they would reintroduce their top loaders to the North American market...

built in HaHa Stan, I think it certainly does along with that cylindrical art piece above. I'll commend you again for preserving authentic details of your heritage house. Have you posted exterior photos or would you please perhaps? I always look forward to reading your posts and the sense of...

Flat light from LED's @mattl, I agree with your flat light comment, I succumbed to buying LED floodlights for my family room track lights and regret the flat light they produce. a couple/few of them have failed at shorter time than their supposed long life. Re street lighting it's as though...

Those hamburger buns do look very good, is that an egg wash on the top? I have been threatening to bake bread again, will have to try the powdered milk.

80 load box was still available here in Vancouver Canada a few days ago when I went to my local supermarket which carried this, I bought one of the 3 or 4 boxes on the shelf. Now before I go to see if still on shelf am I correct in recalling a few months ago discussion that Tide Free & Clear...

Sears in MEXICO I visited Guadalajara in February and I saw two Sears stores, the one I went into was 12 or so blocks from the old Centro district on a busy four lane street, nice Mid-Century modern suburban design building white exterior. It appeared fully stocked, their was a friendly...

wash temps At least for some Fisher&Paykel toploaders warm cold is 35 C=95F, warm is 40 C=104 F, hot warm is 50 C=122 F, and hot is tap hot temp. I don't know if my GWL11 model has any different temps but the warm cold temp feels warm to my hand and normal body temp is 98.6 F I believe. I think...

phosphates still in Foca in Mexico Or at least still on the bag label that I looked at in store, have not bought any yet to bring back home. If I understand correctly phosphates are still a benefit to removing certain stains even in soft water? Thinking of buying at least 2 kilos-4.4 lbs. I am...

convection oven I hope you will like convection as much as I do, I use it almost all the time both for roasting and most baking, their are a few baked items best done without. Crispy outside moist inside turkey in a much shorter time. Nice black enamel interior on your new model. I looked at...

Very high priced used appliance with a death threat Must sell at a ridiculous price by Saturday or it goes to the dump on some local ads where I live. Are you wanting someone to use it or are you wanting to become a millionaire, basically a jerk move from where I sit.

eco scam the ones I have seen in Canada are basically either a vegetable based soap product or a combo soap detergent product but think of how thick a half or quarter cup of compressed powdered soap or detergent would be, a lot thicker than the paper thin sheet these are, hence the poor...

Imaginative and highly appropriate Have not seen anything like this but I like it,.

No standing pilot Stan you have no worries over a standing pilot light as I am sure your Wedgwood range does not have any, by the way I like your hardwood colour and your telephone niche, the hall and stairway as well. Is your house Craftsman style? Fireplace? Dave, thanks for linking the...
