Another vote for the microfiber cloth. You can use pretty much any kind of window cleaner with it, even the cheap stuff, and your windows will be the envy of the neighborhood! veg

Those candles I used to work with a lady whose husband's family once owned Betty Bolling. Somewhere out in CA, I believe. veg

Used to use an electric (vintage Schick) but for some reason gave it up to use lather/blade. I find that the cheap disposable razors do nothing but slice my face to shreds. Been using a Schick Quattro and really like it, as it's the only one I've tried where I don't leave the house a bloody...

qsd-dan posted a link to appliancedesign.com in the "refrigerator that floats on air" thread. I glanced over the page and came across this: "1959 Philco’s Duomatic combination washer-dryer system surprises the industry with its compactness and price. The combo sells for $500, has an...

We had one of those at home for a few years. As I recall, the popup toast feature didn't work all that well; toast was brown at the bottom and white at the top. Hmm. We had one of those here at work too, until it finally died a few weeks back. Dan, get out from under that toaster-oven rock! veg

Metter of fect... I used mine to make scalloped potatoes on Christmas Eve. Nothing like a Veg-O-Matic to cut down on prep work! In related news, I saw a new Veg-O-Matic in the aisle of Craptastic Gifts at my local Rite Aid. Didn't stop to examine it because, well, why bother? I have the...

Coolest. Fridge. Evar. Ben, that was totally worth all the work you put into it. Plus, with all that heavy hauling and lifting, you won't have to hit the gym again until, say, mid-March. As for what to do with it, you should put it in your sun porch and use it as a beer fridge. I'm not quite...

"Sometimes I feel like I should just come over here an clean this house for you, so you can see what it's like." To which you reply "Aren't you a dear? I'll be in the garage if you need me." And don't forget--there's no law requiring you to open the door when someone knocks. veg

Sorry... Broom's in the shop. You'll have to go see the blacksmith for new shoes and go get it on your own.

I can't think of a movie that affected me much, but my brother had one: When he was really little (maybe 2-3 years old) the movie King Kong freaked him out so badly that he would cry if someone mentioned Hong Kong. Think I'll remind him--and his children--about that on Thursday. veg

Not a huge fan of H. L. Mencken, but I do like something he used. I've used it myself and it always shuts 'em up. Oh, and it doesn't matter whether or not it's appropriate to the situation, either: Dear Sir or Madam: You may be right at that. Sincerely,

Trust me ...he's not. veg

Calling Petek! Pete has at least one of those Toast 'n Browns. They were made for toasting large and/or odd shaped items. Kind of a poor man's Toast-R-Oven. Keep the insides polished and you'll be good to go. veg

David I have Dove, Lux and Spree, but only new Camay. veg

Thank you, Yahoo Personals. I met my Keith two years ago Monday, and it's like we've been married from the beginning. Our first date was a casual stroll around the park, Keith chatting and me listening (I'm really shy). After that we went to lunch and had a good time. Date #2 was the...
