Oh, NeptuneGuy! What's better than a Mad Magazine "snappy comeback"? An intelligent response that completely baffles!

You're being mighty charitable there, DADoES! ;)

So...Mom was just here for her yearly visit East and as I was Bobloading the dishwasher and putting the Finish Quantum cube-y thing in it's compartment and closing the little door, she brings up that she is getting just terrible results with Cascade With Dawn. After some discussion, it turns...

I have a bottle of Planet that hubby brought home from work as a sample, but I haven't tried it yet. He brought home a sample of Planet dishwasher detergent a couple of months ago, and I was pleasantly surprised at how well it cleaned. It cleaned every bit as well as Finish Quantum or...

Back in the day... The laundry detergent (Salvo, I think) that came in a disc that you threw into the washer--kind of the precursor to today's pods. I don't know how it cleaned, but Mom said the disc never dissolved completely, so there were specs on clothes and chunks in the bottom of the...

Stick to your guns! When we moved into our house in late 2009, it had a KA dishwasher, older than yours, I'm sure. I could NOT figure out how to get the cycle to start. No idea if it was operator error, or a fixable mechanical problem. Unfortunately, it was years before I discovered this...

Welcome! Welcome, Dewey! Congrats and best wishes on your new Speed Queens! I grew up not that far from you, over in Van Wert. My family used to go camping at Ouabache in the early 80s. Quite a small world! Brian "brib68"

My neighbor's laundry room Youngstown sink. Non-electric.

"Ignore the cat"???? Welcome, Jonathan! Glastonbury, here. I don't have any sage advice on the restoration of your YES. I'm a bit envious, and would love to know how and how well one would work IRL. Ignoring a cat is never an option for me--that is a very handsome friend you have! Our next...

When you don't mind that your husband does races like Warrior Dash and Tough Mudder because it's a chance to use all the special cycles on your washer and the drying rack in the dryer. (For the record, LG FL, Gentle, warm wash, Heavy dirt, pre-wash with Wisk, main wash with Tide powder and Biz...

Because you have to pause Masters of Sex because you can't go on until you identify the dishwasher. (GE Mobile Maid, right?)

My KA near-TOL (going on 6 years old): Normal Wash, heated dry. Sometimes I will use the Turbo Wash on crusty baking dishes. Truthfully, though... 1) trying to get a 9x13 pan braced to stand upright to face the turbo jets along the back wall is a pain. 2) half the time, even after rigging the...

Wowie! Like everyone else on here, it seems, this takes me back! I have so many fond memories of just standing in Sears at the Lima Mall watching the demo dishwasher in action. Pretty sure my folks would just leave me there and go shopping, knowing I wouldn't budge from that spot. That's...

Thanks, Robert That link is incredible! I cannot believe that a mere mortal hobbyist can do work like that! We can't enev seem to find so-called professionals who can do ordinary jobs well.

Downy ball Not to be THAT Internet guy, but the Downy ball went way past the 80s. In fact I never heard of them until at least the 90s. Point is, I bought a couple of them in the early 2000s when we moved to an apartment for our brief stay in New Hampshire. Needed the DBs for the coin ops in...

Beautiful stove ...but WHAT is that windowed device next to it?

Spotted a Norge refrigerator yesterday in an old movie where I did not remember a kitchen scene. Went to see the 007 classic Goldfinger yesterday on the big screen. There was a Norge fridge in Bond's suite at the Fontainbleau. The exterior of the fridge wasn't seen that clearly, but as he...

The Masters' laundry I think it was in episode 2 or 3 of season 2 when Mrs. Masters was baring her soul to the young woman she hired to help her with the baby and the housework: the nanny/maid was putting stacks of folded laundry in the basket on top of the dryer. The panel was mostly blocked...

I do remember the Fifth Street Market (which was actually at the 4th and Race corner of the store). My first Henkel knife came from there. The old Pogue's locations (especially downtown) stayed higher end than Shillito's/Shillito's-Rike's/Lazarus and for sure McAlpin's for a few years-probably...

New Weber Genesis Rich, I envy the use you got out of that Char-Broil. We bought a gorgeous SS Kenmore infrared gas grill the spring after we moved in here, so 2010. Was a great grill for about 3 or 4 summers, then the cooking grates and the infrared emitter plates all rusted/disintegrated...
