I have used ERA a couple times but not enough to make a judgement. It is indeed sudsy. I'm a little concerned it might not rinse out well. Will observe further. Where I live, Family/Dollar/General are good stores for selections of powders. I got some Surf and it has a nice scent that I like...

I was just talking to my brother about going to Woolworth's with my grandmother and popping the balloon to see how much your banana split would be.

Need Reference Guide As a relative newbie to AW with a DD machine, I have always wished there was a thread or document (with photos) that explained all the different agitators for DD machines, with their relative strengths and weaknesses, and compatibility. This would be an excellent idea for...

I have a powder problem None is daily driver, but I'm trying out various powders to see what I like. Gain HE- like the best Surf- jury still out Oxydol- seems ok Era- just bought. Seems sudsy. Further evaluation needed. Biz- Amazing Purex2- doesn't do much

antennas For your newer flat screen you probably don't need a converter box, but for the other one you probably do. If you do need a box, check Craigslist if you have that in your area, or ask friends if they have one. No reason to buy new if you can help it. My complaint with the Magnavox ones...

Back to original poster You need to read thru this first: http://www.dtv.gov You only need a converter box if your tv is older, otherwise you just need an antenna. If you don't know what any of this means, you most likely need the box. Don't get the Magnavox ones at Wal-mart they suck. Zenith...

I'm about to make the break I'm 95% certain I'm going to get a Tivo Premiere. I have an existing, relatively new, OTA DTV bandwith antenna on the roof and it works well. I thought about making a home-made DVR from an old pc, but I just don't feel like it. Tivo Premier works with OTA signals...

Era Powder? Saw some today. Should I bother? What about Fab?

I'm not brand or store loyal To anything. I will grudgingly drag myself to Macy's on occasion, but never without a coupon, and most stuff I buy there ends up getting returned after I have time to think about it. Most purchases are made from various retailers and discounters according to their...

I don't bother with P&G Except for a few things, I think most Proctor & Gamble products are overpriced anyway. On the occasions that they do have coupons (the "Brand Saver" inserts), they're rather stingy. These days I need at least $1 to get my attention. .25 or .50 off, or coupons where you...

BIZ! I have had very good results using Biz, following the instructions for pretreating stains. When I first discovered Biz, I did this on some older Polos and summertime shirts, and was very pleased. A few items took two treatments, but the stuff works.

don't do so much anymore I go through phases with coupons. Sometimes you can get deals on certain things, but its time consuming. Also, they expire much more quickly now, usually only good for 6 weeks or so. Since I started shopping at Aldi more often, I pretty much stopped couponing.

I use mine on occasion Only to delay the cook time by an hour or so. For food safety issues you wouldn't want something sitting out too long. For example I will put in a casserole dish or perhaps chicken or something, and time it so that it will be done when you get home. Put in at 6:30, go to...

"financial constraints" Well at least you didn't completely cheap out and get Purex 2. I tried that stuff and its pretty much worthless.

I love it! Using the pre-treat method, it removed years-old stains from things. It whitened up kitchen towels like crazy. TMI I know, but it is the only product I have found that is effective at removing the stains left by deodorant products. Again, use to pre-treat. I was amazed. I used it...

American Visionary Art Museum This is like something you'd see at the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore. http://www.avam.org Basically the entire collection is stuff made by prisoners and crazy people- some institutionized, some not. Needlepoint made in prison using sock thread, dryer...

Why didn't you just return it? and get another one? I think you'd have a good case.

Target bags... "One other thing about the plastic type...has anyone noticed the bags from Target are a bit stronger and sturdier than the ones found in Walmart or grocery stores?" Yes! Also slightly bigger. These, and others such as JCP, and other larger-than-grocery bags will stretch and fit...

clothes pins I prefer spring loaded wood, but I don't actually have a line so they get used for other things. I have a wood rack that I bought at Wal-Mart about 20 years ago when I was in college. It still has a stamp on the side "Worldsbest Industries Inc". I have another wood one which is...

Fabric I have several cloth bags from stores, and also from trade shows & such. They have been surprisingly durable. I keep a few at work, a few at home, and some in the car. We sort of have a community stash at the office that people also use from. I was just talking to my neighbor about how...
