Pete, Our house had floor to ceiling windows on both sides of the living room too, just like the homes you described. It was really a beautiful home. It was built on a 1 acre lot on top of a hill with a private driveway. There was a fruit orchard behind the house. The patio was all covered...

In 1958 my family moved into an L shaped Ranch style home in El Sobrante, Calif. that was built in 1947. It was built on a cement slab foundation with hot water, radiant heating which was wonderful, the house was always toasty warm in the winter. All the floors throughout the home, except the...

Re:#7 “We have a food bank at my church and they will not allow "expired" foods to be donated "for the health and dignity of the clients". BeforeI retired from the Human Services Dept we also had a food bank for our clients that may have run out of Food Stamps at the end of the month or their...

Re:#6 When my family moved to the Northern California coast in 1964 I attended the eighth grade at Fort Ross Elementary School, a little three room school house that was heated by big kerosene heaters in each of the classrooms. There was a huge kerosene tank outside that was regularly filled...

I agree Matt and do the same thing as you. I recently saw a segment on the news about this very topic and it also said the same thing as you. The only things I’d be careful to not use after the exp date is canned food that showed any signs of swelling or leaking, especially canned meat or...

Bob, I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that your physical limitations would prevent you from being able to measure your fridge. I hope that someone will have the info your seeking, I know in my GE fridge docs the installation guide gives dimensions that’s why I suggested looking there. Eddie

Aren’t the dimensions listed in the owners manual and installation instructions that would have come with the fridge when you bought it? Also a metal measuring tape would come in handy to just measure it yourself. Eddie

We pay 40 cents a KWH for tier 1 and 50 cents per KWH for tier 2 and I’m pretty certain that we have just about the highest electric rate in the USA.  Last month our PGE bill was $505. 24 for 1120 KWH of electricity for our all electric 1260 sq ft townhouse, and our January bill will be about...

Try holding the mixer head and then give the bowl handle a good, hard jerk to the right.  This works for me when the bowl gets stuck.   Eddie

I just use the Pyrex and other glass bowls, Corelle bowls and glass containers that I already have to store leftovers and other foods and cover them with plastic wrap.  I also have a few vintage Pyrex refrigerator dishes with covers.  I have a few plastic containers, but seldom use them.  ...

George, I’ve haven’t made this  mistake myself, mainly because I haven’t used our DW since Easter 2018.  But I think you may be able to try two different  things.    First,  if you can get an eyedropper or a syringe into the rinse dispenser opening try syphoning out as much  of the Ajax...

I can't tell for sure either what kind of range it is, but it certainly doesn’t look like an O’Keeffe and Merritt to me. Eddie

I’ve been using Ariel 2 X Power powdered detergent for the last 6 months, $13.99 for the 211 oz /132 load bag and I LOVE it! I’d been using Ultra Tide liquid before for the past 4 years. The Ariel powder cleans so much better! And it’s more economical too. It’s especially effective in...

Re:#23 Oh yes Ralph, those cumbersome screens that make everything more difficult than just pushing a button! I know what you’re talking about. Just before the Pandemic I took our car into the Honda dealer to have the rear brake pads replaced and they gave me a new 2020 Honda Civic as a...

Count me in that 5% also that expect an owners manual to be provided with an appliance that may cost several hundreds of dollars. When you are trying to figure out how to use a new appliance properly or have a problem with the appliance you don’t need the added aggravation of having to either...

For what new appliances cost I believe that it’s fair to expect that a PRINTED owners manual to be provided with the appliance. I always keep the manuals for my appliances near each appliance so they are readily available when they are needed. I also keep them downloaded on my iPad for easy...

I just finished watching it Brad and I noticed that error too. Still, it was a fun video to watch again, I recall watching it when it ran on CBS a while back. Thanks for posting it Jon. Eddie

That was great to watch Jon! Thanks so much for restoring the video and posting it. a real treasure for this website! Eddie

We have a 24” flat screen TV on the kitchen counter and I watch/listen to various programs while I’m cooking depending upon my mood. While I’m finishing getting dinner ready I usually watch KPIX news, which is the CBS station out of San Francisco. Lots of times I’m watching an old movie on...

Congratulations on a job well done John! I remember these Bendix machines from my early childhood in the 50’s. Lot’s of homes had them then and they were popular machines. Your restored Bendix Gyromatic is simply beautiful! Eddie
