My Home was built in the mid 60's. When I bought it 20 years ago it still had the original round Honeywell thermostat, the one that they used to advertise in magazines. And yes, the vents in my ceilings are those round ones with a rod to pull with a knob on the end, to cut off the air flow...

vacerator I have spent enough years reading Zen to have long, long ago given up any concern about "from where we originate". I think that can wait until we can control our present tense, first. I learned last night that a friend passed away from cancer yesterday evening. For me, as a...

The Important Part of Christmas For Christians Oops! Had to go back and edit this so that the atheists won't get me removed...

Well, fortunately I don't do any of that crap. And I don't want or need a washing machine made for them. And it's the "office dust" people that are the future of this nation.

A Bunch of People appear to be nostalgic for the Shredmore. Me, I'd love to have that beating-the-crap action of my old GE's. My mother, God rest her soul, always missed her Frigidaire with the Jet Action. Nostalgia is so much fun--but then the sun comes up, the world keeps moving as it...

I fell in love with coffee a half century ago when I first became a teenager. Bunches of years of drinking awful, bitter hospital coffee taught me to appreciate fresh, good coffee. However, I never became a coffee snob, and am still not one. I prefer grinding my own Community per either cup...

After I Converted to RC- I don't pay that much attention to the Christmas tree. We Catholics often concentrate on the Advent wreath, and it's a very old tradition that I've come to enjoy and look forward to-

Nice ad today! I must confess that I've never actually seen a portable dishwasher in the flesh; though I was born in 1955, either people didn't have one or they had it, like my parents', built under the counter. They got their first one in 1963 when they built a new home. Did these old...

liam- Of course they sell spray-on stuff now that can give your fake tree that 'authentic' aroma. I don't use it, though.

I Have No Choice but an artificial tree, am too crippled to handle a real tree any more and won't bother friends just for that. I'd still rather own one of those aluminum ones with the rotating color wheel...

For Me, since I live alone, often I don't unload the d/w at all. I'll use the dishes out if there aren't many and they go right back in. Anyone else on here just hate unloading groceries at home? I quit buying soft drinks decades ago, partially because I don't like the flavor or expense...

Your Money, your choice. It would do a fine job on my laundry and I'd really like to have that 7-year warranty. But then, I don't have a house full of oil field workers or little kids...

Our K-Mart disappeared about 20 years ago. The original Wal-Mart turned into Academy and Wal-Mart leased a huge new facility to make a Super. K-Mart was tiny compared to that; it's now a Big Lots that's nasty with age. I liked the original Kresge's that were in Houston. They seem to have...

Compared to my new 432, I think this would satisfy me equally well. I haven't rigged the lid as I get no sexual thrill from watching the agitator. I really liked the design shown in the videos by Rivas, saved those to a hard drive. I like the simplicity, even though I'm not a washer...

For Light Duty These KA mixers are fine. Cakes, etc. And so many decorator colors! They expect that to attract the women just like vintage w/d pairs... Of course, the design is the limiting factor but like top load washers, people are willing to live with it, the corresponding obesity...

appnut I don't like smelly dirty laundry sitting around. I guess I could put it all in the garage, but I don't want to. But then, I don't use anything like that amount of laundry, never have. But I'd sure bet that you're the exception rather than the rule. And I use kitchen towels...

Somewhere along the line, washers changed from being rated by pounds of laundry to cubic feet of the tub, as I understand it. As Lord Kenmore, a few others and I have noted, we seldom run our particular washers at capacity, simply because we don't generate enough laundry (doing proper...

Lorainfurniture- I wish your business the best with these new machines. There's certainly plenty of hot air circulating around here, mine included, but we don't have money on the line.

I Wonder Whether All These Histrionics happened when Speed Queen went to a perforated tub. Or when Hotpoint got rid of their solid tub. Do you think people went gaga over it and predicted the end of clean laundry? I don't know, as I was solidly in the Filter-Flo camp by then, and Lord knows...
