I actually get angry watching these stupid top loaders "wash" clothes.  The slow dribble of water, the jiggling of the balled up clothes, the clothes never seem to move, all get my blood pressure up.  And 1 1/2 hour cycle times.  NO thanks.  I'll take my 7 year old front loaders anytime!  

Still a small world My uncle was head of data processing for FJ. Not sure if you would have known him...Ed Oljace? I worked at the Lincoln park store for a short time.  My family still  lives off Ecorse/Pelham area, not far from the highschool, since 1977. Funny how things seem to never change...

Yes, next to the Gas Station.. a bunch a dive bars but somehow alway managed to have a good time.   Ah yes,  Backstage and Footlights... lots of good times there after the bars closed and went out for a bit to eat.  Then there was an Italian restaurant that opened down the street from...

Small world..  I grew up Downriver.. Allen Park to be exact.   Did I ever go to BackStreet?  Is the pope Catholic.  I was good friends with Carl the owner and my friend Roger was a bartender at "Pulse" the back bar.  My boyfriend was a bar tender at Back Pocket for many years. So the ritual was...

Michael, Yes, that's a U of M shirt.  I'm from Michigan, my family still lives in the Detroit area.  I didn't go to U of M but a lot of my friends did and I spent many many fun filled weekends and foot ball games there.  Ann Arbor was only 45 minutes from home so it was easy to pop out there to...

After rewashing everything and tossing the Snuggle Blue Sparkle, I felt much better.  Could have been just a coincidence, but I know now that smell will push me over the edge in the future.  Funny though, the dog still smells faintly like it,  I'll give hime another day or two and then he's...

My name is Jim and I'm a fabric softener user.  There I said it.😁   Nothing crazy, but I use a little with each load, except on towels. Usually use Downey but we had a coupon for snuggle and it was on sale so what the heck.  My partner did sheets  yesterday, and may have put to much in I don't...

That's to funny because I'm having a big mouse problem right now too.  But my mice seem to be the acrobatic type because I am finding droppings in the most unusual places....like the 3rd shelf up in the pantry (but not the lower 2),  on the stove top, behind the toaster etc.  Totally skeeves...

I have hosted Princess House parties several times years and years ago.  I still have lots of pieces,  Irish coffee mugs, vases, etc. I even have a set of their cookware with detachable handles!   My Mom's good china is Princess house from the 50's.... Sweet Briar I believe is the pattern...

You should be nice and do the research for them and present the  pro's and cons for each type and let them make their own decision.  That way, if they end up not being happy, you won't be blamed.   I have a front loader and love it.  Those wash plate top loaders actually make me angry watching...

Martha Stewarts laundry detergent is right up there...slightly better than washing with water alone.  

My Mom always thought white appliances looked "cheap" so we always had color...mostly shaded coppertone.  Our first house,1969, had all coppertone appliances and that's when she bought matching coppertone Kenmore 700's which she had for over 30 years.   The back splash in the kitchen was metal...

LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got one for Christmas and don't like it as much as I thought I would.  The flavors that came with it were gross....the regular ones were to sweet and the diet ones were nasty.  I use it for bubbly water and put a slice of lemon or lime in it.     Just make sure any flavoring you add is done...

Unless money is no object,  I would remove both units, contact a local cabinet maker to modify the opening at top with a complementary glass door cabinet, and slip in separate "built in style" fridge and freezer units with good ratings.  As much as I love the look of built ins,  they have so...

Very nice Dave. I love your color choice since it matches the Subie. How is towing it with the Subaru?

Our condo building in Brooklyn put the coin op version of those in in 1998. Everyone was very excited about them and I thought they were pretty cool at the time. Unfortunately, with in a year, they were always broken for some reason or another. People just refused to use HE detergents and I...

That's so great and what fantastic condition....my Mom had one for the longest time, I think until the late 80's If you watch the movie " The Help" there is one on the shelf in Minnie's kitchen.

Heat with oil here. Its my first house with an oil furnace. Its a forced air unit and its pretty old, about 30+ years, but I don't know the brand name. I have it serviced every year and the thing just keeps on going. I know they said at some point it had a new fire box installed, and other than...

It smells like Beer, Garlic, and cigars?? :)
