Have a 5+ year-old Bosch that works well with every detergent I've tried, probably because of our ridiculously soft water. Personally, I prefer Seventh Generation powder and Ecover tablets or powder because they are fragrance-free and do a bang-up job. I often run the dishwasher while I'm...

Don't worry, it's only Margo I second The Good Life! What a great show. Just finished another run through the complete series. Margo cracks me up just like Hyacinth does.

Clockwise...counter-clockwise.... Interesting that the dryer timer pictured above is clockwise oriented, yet the timer on Jon's dryer (thread #18329) is counter-clockwise oriented. Does anybody know the logic behind G.E.'s engineering and why they wouldn't just remain consistent with timer...

Have been using the reusable bags for years now, and prefer them over plastic and paper bags for both strength and capacity. Most of mine are the poly-mesh type from Whole Foods (including a very handy wine bag with six compartments), but my favorite are the sturdy canvas bags. I have a few from...

Jon, I agree with Ralph. You're among friends and needn't worry about anyone thinking you're an oddball. Perhaps you're more sensitive to the energies that we can't see, feel, touch, etc., and thus you have a greater frequency of visions than other clairvoyants may have. In my book that makes...

Oooh, fascinating topic! I haven't knowingly experienced a paranormal event (well, not yet anyway), but I have had a sort of psychic premonition. When I was a freshman in college I had a random dream one night that my friend Graham's brother Ryan was sitting in a wheelchair in the middle of the...

Hi Lawrence! Six Feet Under is a fantastic show. One of my all time favorites. On a lighter note, have you watched the BBC comedy Vicar of Dibley? Everyone I know who watches it loves it and ends up buying the DVDs (I did, too). It's that good!

A Bob Load of happy birthday wishes to you!

Welcome! We'll leave a light on for you. ;)

I've used the oxygen bleach cleanser. It doesn't scour like more abrasive cleaners, but it did a decent enough job on my white porcelain sink. I believe it was fragrance free, which might be a bonus for those with sensitivities.

Happy Birthday Robert! You're one of the nicest guys around, and I hope you have a very special day. :)

Hey Scott! Doesn't that Miele upright look cool? I can't wait to actually try one out. Both of the Miele canisters I have are wonderful machines. The Flamenco II has the turbo brush, and the Air Clean (not sure of the actual model number) has the electrically-powered brush head, which works...

Thanks Andy! Thanks for the tip about the forthcoming Miele upright. I hadn't realized the current uprights are made by Panasonic, and after using Miele canisters for so long I'd definitely prefer my next upright to be 100% Miele as well. And I'm not in any rush, so I can wait patiently until...

Hey Andy, I might have to check out that new wide floor tool. I've got a Flamenco II that's about 7 years old, and an Air Clean model that's maybe 20 years old (the sticker on the bottom says "Made in West Germany"). By the way, how do you think the upright S184 stacks up against other makes on...

I understand all too well how you must feel, having recently gone through this with my dog. You have my deepest sympathies for your loss. It's not easy getting through it, but it helps to keep thinking of all the wonderful times you two shared. Best to you, David

I hope you have a fantastic birthday Jeff!

Louis, I'm very sorry for your loss. I'll be keeping you and your family in my thoughts. David

From the IRS website (www.irs.gov) Q. Is my stimulus payment taxable? A. No. You will not owe tax on your payment when you file your 2008 federal income tax return. But you should keep a copy of the IRS letter you receive later this year listing the amount of your payment. In the event you do...

Yay for you Eric! As if buying your first house isn't exciting enough, now you get to go about acquiring all of the fun toys to put in it. Have a great time in your new house!

Could it be a Haier?
