I didn't make one this year but here's one I made a couple of years ago. I've never made the gingerbread myself, for me the fun is in the decorating. The kit comes with a few candies, but I'm never happy with just those & have to add lots more. Here in humid South Florida the thing isn't really...

The Roomba does indeed have suction. It works well for me on my hard floors. I don't use it on carpet since I only have carpet in the 2 upstairs spare bedrooms & the Roomba lives downstairs. It's pretty noisy, but you can set it to do its thing when you're not there & it will even park itself on...

Yes, actually. They arrived around lunchtime, the delivery guys were even early for a change. So far I am really liking them. First thing I did was figure out how to disable the washer's lid lock with a magnet so I could see what was going on in there. The wash action is quite different than a...

Agitator w/glass lid Really? I never saw one at the store & I don't see it on the sears website. What is the model #? Every washer I looked at had both positive and negative reviews on epinions & other sites.

Yeah of course there are appliances you can't turn off when you leave. AC, fridge, husband refuses to turn the computers off. As a matter of fact if we're leaving town I actually do shut off the water to the whole house. Yeah I know the old washer could've been fixed. I could've even done it...

Yeah I think I'm going to look into that flood check shut off thing. For those of you that insist on running these machines at night or while away saying your fully insured, yes chances are nothing will ever happen. But if it ever does even if you're renting & fully insured & all that, everyone...

Luckily I was home and had not gone to sleep yet! I started a load in my 12 year old whirlmore direct drive washer & went into the other room. About 30 min later I needed something from the garage & SURPRISE I step in a bunch of water! The washer was just filling continuously and running all...

Now I've seen everything, actual trash being sold on ebay. I do remember my mother making good use of the empty jet dry baskets to wash very small things like cake decorating tips. Virginia

My dad also had that men's hairdryer in the velvet lined case with all the attachments. Funny I can't actually remember him ever using it, though he's been going bald as long as I can remember. Recently I was at their house & he said he was going for a haircut, I told him to make sure he asked...

I once got a beautiful turquoise Sunbeam Mixmaster with glass bowls on Ebay. The seller's idea of good packing was a couple of plastic grocery bags wadded up & a handful of foam peanuts. Lots of room for the heavy mixer to move around in the box. I don't have to tell you what happened to the...

ACK! I never would've thought of this. I just bought Badia brand garlic powder & minced garlic. It only says packed in the USA. On their website it comes up under the heading of chinese garlic although it doesn't say this on the package. I think I'm going to return it to the store, I am trying...

Here in South Florida this happens on a regular basis, usually elderly drivers mistaking the gas for the brake.

We just replaced the coupler on our direct drive kenmore earlier this year. If the coupler is completely gone it will not agitate or spin at all. But if the coupler is only partway gone I would think it may try to agitate some. We had the burned rubber smell too when ours went. A easy thing to...

Gansky, the range you speak of sounds like a great idea, unfortunately Viking is out of my price range. This is why I keep hoping Kenmore will come out with a range, it would be a bit more accessible I think.

I have no personal experience but I've read cast iron works great on induction. I love the idea that since the cooktop doesn't get very hot stuff doesn't get burnt on the surface. Or you can cook on top of a paper towel! I'm a messy cook & I'm always scrubbing burnt on stuff off my smooth top range.

Sears has had the induction cooktop available for a few years now. I don't think too many people know about it, it seems they have not advertised it at all. They advertise their latest washers like crazy, but not the induction cooktop? I would bet if I asked everyone at my job I'd bet not one...

I went through this 2 years ago and I know how you feel. My around 16 year old kitty is indoor only but she escaped about 2 years ago and went missing for 5 horrible days. I really was heartbroken thinking she'd gotten hit by a car or something. I plastered the neighborhood with signs & that's...

You're welcome! :o) Virginia

More Space Age Pop I've been listening to the Retro Cocktail Hour off & on for several years & once I even won the weekly CD giveaway! It's on Saturday nights, but you can listen to past weeks playlists anytime. Virginia http://kpr.ku.edu/retro/

Eye surgery & colonoscopy I'm normally a lurker here, but I just had to reply to this one. I'm & RN & currently have 2 jobs. One is in an outpatient GI center, where we do mostly colonoscopies. The other job is in an eye surgery center where we do cataract surgery. I can tell you that both...
