First Time Ever I felt the quake in Tucson Arizona. No violent movements, just the distinct impression that I was rocking back-and-forth. I noted the time just because it was so strange, and later found out about the Mexicali quake and the times matched.

"Polski Wyrob" This means "Polish Style". I think literally translated it means "made like in Poland".

Vlasic Pickles This was a hometown Detroit brand, and when it was the pickles were very good. Later on it was sold to some enormous national company and the quality was never the same. I still buy them because I like them better than other brands. When I was in high school, I was a caddie at...

In the fall of 1963 Patty Duke appeared at a football rally at my high school in Detroit. I think it was a promotional event for her show. Also speaking was the head bigshot of the local ABC affiliate, who kept calling her "Miss Dukes".

Me too POD is visible using FireFox, broken using IE8.

Aldi I believe there was an Aldi store in northwest Tucson a few years ago. I never got the chance to shop there, it closed within 30-60 days of opening, IIRC.

I think this is the GE we got to replace the AW6. Ours wasn't a FilterFlo but it did have the suds saver.

I will go to WalMart for one reason They sell their own glucose testing meter, and the test strips cost half as much as any others. Side-by-side comparison to more expensive meters proves that the accuracy of the WalMart meter is just fine. I don't typically buy groceries there but I did...

Bump Just wondering if another post will trigger the icon & post count features which were recently added.

BandAid I can't even think of another word for that. My parents called the refrigerator a "fridge" or an "ice box". We really did have a Frigidaire branded one, the kind with the really small freezer suspended from the interior top, and the tip-out bin at the bottom. Of course, my Dad had all...

Not all square doors have the same features You can see the label on Coldspot's, it is a 2140. Yogitunes has the 2940 (the one with the time-remaining display window) The 2140 has a simple on-off pressure sensor which lets the computer know when the water is deep enough. What you adjust with...

Same concept, different execution Today's POD reminded me of this photo. It goes back a long way, to July 1963. Someone may have posted it before, but I haven't seen it on AW.org.

Identical Cousins These are the Kenmore offerings of the Frigidaire models shown by Yogitunes. I have owned them since July of 2005 with no problems and no complaints. My laundry load is not heavy, however, maybe two or three loads per week.

Steve, If you want a good idea of what Jonathan Winters was like, watch the old movie "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World". He plays the moving van driver.

This thread is difficult to read So many details parallel my own father. Smoked since teen-age, had contempt for doctors and treatments. At age 86 was thrown out of assisted living facility for in-room smoking. (their protocol was to hold cigarettes and matches at central point and meter them...

Pushing the "Print Screen" key captures a bitmapped image of the desktop to the clipboard. You can then "Paste" this into some image processing program, like "Paint", save it in the JPEG format, and post it.

This is Sharpay She and Tuffy will be four years old around May 1.

This is Tuffy I'm no great photographer, so you get red eye.

Soupy started his kids show in Detroit ...in the 50's. "Lunch with Soupy" was mondo popular with my peer group when we were 8 or 9. One time our Cub Scout pack was going to be on a different kids show (Fun House? can't quite recall the name). It too was locally produced, live from the same...

I never liked *I Love Lucy* very much and I hated the later shows with Lucy and Gale Gordon. So I read this thread with some interest, finding out so many posters liked Lucy so much. The other night, Turner Classic cable channel showed a 1947 movie called "Lured" starring Lucille Ball, Charles...
