My Home Depot wouldn't sell it to me. The salesperson said her supervisor was planning on stealing it! If I could have fit it under my coat, I think I would have walked off with it... veg

A lot of what Ikea sells is--let's face it--crap. Their cabinets, however, are pretty good. I put some up in my laundry room and they were really easy to install. I think the carcasses are all the same, and it's just the doors that are different (and run the price up.) veg

Oooh, I've never seen the blue cereal bowls or the big coffee mugs. I'm going to have to keep my eyes peeled for them. I really wish they had made glassware in the cornflower pattern. veg

You should watch this episode of American Experience. I had no idea Tupperware was such a big deal. veg http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/tupperware/

Oh, yeah You just can't have too much Cornflower Centura! All of mine has come from either the Goodwill or the Sally Ann. I put mine in the microwave all the time with no ill results. Way back when, Consumer Reports said not to ever put it on a hot stove burner because it would explode. veg

Or maybe There really are 64 uses in the bottle.

Aside from the broken door spring last year, haven't had a single problem with her. I love how solid this microwave is. Shutting the door is like shutting a vault! veg

Can't go wrong with a Radarange Love mine. Wouldn't trade it for any other microwave. Remember--If it doesn't say Amana, it's not a Radarange! veg

I got an LG LBC22520SW from Sears when they had 30% off all Energy Star appliances. According to LG, the height to the top of the hinges (tallest measurement) is 68.5. Got the fridge in May and it's been great so far. It replaced a loved but dying 1964 GE and boy, did my electricity bill go...

Welcome, Doug! When I first saw pictures of those Frigidaires, I figured you'd be coming over here. Oh, and everyone--you should see Doug's TV collection! veg

Didn't Laura Petrie have one of these in the early episodes? Still not too keen about combining water, electricity and grounds in the same area. I'd definitely love to have one, though. Great score!

Mmm, nothing like coffee from an Electromatic. They make it nice and hot. veg

While our clothes have always been clean, they've never been "whiter than white, brighter than bright" that the old commercials used to promise. So I broke down and bought a pail of TSPP. It hasn't arrived yet, but I'm seeking guidance from the experts about how much to use for a load. The...

Turkey pot pie last night, made from leftover Thanksgiving turkey. Tonight it's "Monterey Shrimp Scallop", which is basically a casserole of rice, shrimp, and artichoke hearts. veg

Princess Honey Roundbottom Von Weinerhausen, asleep in her "sentry post".

It's Welsh Rarebit. Hmmm. Haven't made that in a while. Would be good for a cold winter's evening... veg Remember: All food tastes better when prepared in vintage appliances!

Yes< Paul They did. I am the proud owner of one, a gift from...whatshisname? You know, that member that nobody knows? Not very bright? Talks kinds funny? veg

In Baltimore, Almond Smash was made by Suburban Club ("Suburban soft drinks; you just can't sip 'em!") Apparently, you can still get it in random places, but it's hard to find. In Massachusetts, Cott was the brand to drink ("It's Cott to be good!"). I can still taste their white cream soda...
