I have towels that my mother bought in 1980 They have literally been washed thousands of times. First in a GE filter-flo, then a Maytag Dependable Care, and finally a Maytag FL (Duet clone). I also have some towels that were bought at Wally-world $3.99 each, that are rags in less than five...

Not is a washer, but a Gift from heaven Once when we were growing up, poor as church mice. I think my dad had just had his second heart attack, and the washer broke down. At that time it was like $38 or something to fix it, it was the 60s. So Mom took our laundry to the Wash-o-mat and did...

I have a cheapy from Target I think it's the Power XL or something like that. It was originally bought for a Christmas gift, then it was decided to give the recipient something else, so I kept it for myself. It does and excellent job. FF in about 12 minutes. I don't' make fresh, however...

We had one of the ADA height front control models It was in the break room at work. For our needs it was not bad, then again it averaged mostly coffee cups and lunch dishes. It was an exchange as the purchaser had ordered another make and model but did not fit the ADA height. This would...

Moderation is the secret As with everything, moderation. I love smoked meats. I have a small Brinkman smoker that I do ribs or a chicken once or twice a year. It is a lot of work, which kind of discourages us having it too often. It's true if we consume too much of anything it is...

You should NEVER Put regular handwashing detergent in the dishwasher, no matter how little you use. The risk of a Bobby Brady is too great.

I want one I have a smooth top range,and I haven't found a kettle that had a flat bottom. Most of the newer ones have a ridge around the bottom where it won't sit flat. Yours looks like it would be perfect. Hijack: Do you take your kettle off the stove when you are cooking to prevent...

It seems to me Anyone with a video camera, or phone camera is now an expert. Talk about dumbing down everything. And she probably gets monetized enough from youtube to get herself some more tattoos.

I agree that FL machines do a better job now In the olden days a Top Loader like a GE Filter-flo with Hot, actual Hot water and phosphate detergent did an excellent job cleaning. In those days we had little in the lines of Front loaders to compare. I got my Front Loader In 2009 replacing a...

I just pulled up some radishes at lunch Those are the last of the garden. I was trying for some late garden beets, they were doing fine then we had a spell of 100+ weather, then dropped to freezing the next week, and they didn't survive. There are a few Okra plants still there, because I'm...

I like the changeable panels on the cabinets. I, of course couldn't understand a word, I pressed a button and I think I bought a Volvo.

In my head And probably no one else's, I have viewed the pre wash as purge wash of sorts. It helps to start loosening the soil that is more easily washed away, as well as it serves to start heating up the tub and dishes so the main wash will be hotter and detergent more effective. This may be...

Not washer related I just saw this on Facebook Marketplace for a 2006 Dodge charger. "2006, good condition, you just need to replace everything that burned, I don't want to mess with it."

My Maytag 5000 Series W/Steam a Duet clone. Locks the door as soon as you press start. If you need to add clothes during the add portion of the cycle, you press pause and the door will unlock providing the water level is not too high, or water temp too hot. If either of these conditions...

I saw this last night Works fine, runs through the cycle, just leaks. Probably an easy fix.

Grandma used to fix Fried Squirrel They were Old Hillbillies with 18 kids to feed, they would eat pretty much anything.

Draggin off topic I know we were squirrel hating, but I saw ground hogs and other mentioned so I wanted to add a new menace that we have started experiencing that will destroy your yard overnight. Armadillos. One day your yard is crisp and pristine, the next day it looks like "Caddy Shack"...

Having worked commercial kitchens for years Several of those as a dish machine operator. I don't see this machine as practical. In a busy restaurant setting you need to be able to scrap the dirty dishes, send them through and get the clean dishes back to the service area as quickly as...

The laundry I go to occasionally To wash big rugs and the like, charges .25 to .50 more per load for hot washes. In reality their warm wash is maybe body temp, maybe a little cooler. Hot wash is more what I would call a warm. Combined with a quick wash cycle, you can pay another .25 for a...

Did you ever notice that when she was up front, she almost always sang with her eyes closed. I always thought that was because she was nervous in front of a crowd. She had a seven octave range, but as she said, her money was in the basement.
