Fabric softener As for favric softener, maybe my sense of touch is screwed up, but honestly, clothes don't seem to be any "softer" when I use FS. Therefore, I tend to use it only when I want the smell and/or elimination of static cling, especially when drying synthethic favrics which can...

Embalming "My next chagrin to all that puffery is about the essential oils and amino acids, vitamins etc in shampoo, what the heck are amino acids and vitamins going to do to dead cells, which is what hair is, dead cellular matter other than the root it's dead folks, no amount of vitamins and...

Tucson I might actually be able to get to this one, Tucson isn't too bad of a drive from Los Angeles. Everyone seems to have such a good time at these wingdings

feedback A 1,000 to 33 feedback ratio isn't bad, plus, one should look to see what the negative feedbacks are about before passing judgement

So What's the latest news?

220 volts Ironically, in the US, electric dryers outsell gas dryers, so quite a few people have 220 volt capability. The main drawback is both the washer and dryer would have to replaced. The up side is that, surprisinigly, our 30 amp 220 dryer outlets allow higher wattages for both water...

My Grandmother had one of these. The "signal light" was actullay a window to view the coils inside.

Ozzie money "If the email is about the "care package" in response to the Hoover pump, must apologise as haven't had a chance to get to the bank for Ozzie money. Had also wanted to make a nice little NY/US laundry care package to send along, but time just has not permitted any thing really. " I...

undissolved Tide CW I use the powdered CW Tide in my '72 portable LK, and have experienced no problems. If anything, I've found it's a superior cleaner to the Arm & Hammer Xtra liquid I normally use. Being relataively expensive, I only use it when I feel it's added cleaning power is justified

touchpad vs knobs I've noticed that the early microwaves with knobs had the dial markings spread out in such a way that setting the seconds between 0 and 1 minute was relatively accurate, whereas a modern cheapie microwave with a manual dial is almost impossible to set for less time than a full...

FL vs TL This debate is very much like the gas range vs electric range debate. Ideally, one should have both, since each type has advantages.

"The way to prevent a sink/faucet hose from dripping where it shouldn't, is simply to have it drop down a bit before it goes back up to exit the sink. Think of a "u" shape, where one end of the "u" is into the faucet, and the other end is curving up before exiting the sink." That's fine if one...

outlets Between the choice of white, ivory, or brown outlets, and the INFINITE variety of cover plates available, I'm sure you can come up with a satisfactory aesthetic solution

motor repair "Since the motor's NLA, and no one seems able to repair the toasted sleeve bearing in this town, we're on a hunt for a new motor. Hopefully we'll come across one; if not, we'll have to find another machine from which to pilfer parts." Well, how about the NEXT town? Tucson isn't a...

motor If the motor is the type that is bolted together, it can be rewound if a replacement motor can't be found.

combos Combos were never really popular because they really were useful in only 2 situations. Space (one of the reasons where they more popular on the in the West because of lack of basements and laundry rooms with space for only one machine) This had to be balanced against: High purchase...

110 volt dryers I have a portable compact Wards dryer from 1972 (Norge-built) And it had a very simple solution it could be wired for 110 OR 220 volt operation. Don't know why nobody has thought of that in the current compact dryers or combo units. It's like engineers don't chck to see if...

Tide Amazing,Tide was ANATHEMA in a WP/KM machine, causing a lot of suds lock. And notice the obvious slap at DASH?
