Clubs? Lord Kenmore-have you ever played Clubs? Much less well known and actually I enjoy it more than Spades.

Sorry was a favorite with my sibling and me. We rediscovered it by playing for years with her daughter as a child. I have no idea what Monopoly is like now on the computer, but the version in the 90's was actually quite fun to play alone and it moved so much faster than the board version. We...

Washer Prices Fortunately, whoever sells pdf's of ephemera on here has sold me the 1954 Cooper Supply Catalog, which appears to be a very comprehensive distributor of TV's, radios, and major appliances. Looking in there at washers, the automatics that would compare to our machines today...

Thanks! Thanks to all of you for the information. I still think these machines are cool, but I think I'd be like the radiologist's wife. I'd want two simply because, at least today, they'd take so long before I could do a second load. But these are sure attractive! I've purchased the...

What's your Percolator made of? I'm assuming you're not using one with a glass carafe like Proctor-Silex or Corning. Is it aluminum or stainless steel? I went to YouTube and looked under 'cleaning a percolator'. Funny thing is that apparently the procedure most people use is the same one for...

Frigilux Thanks for your reply! I agree--making a decent moisture sensing system ain't brain surgery these days.

Thanks to a comment on here, I learned that Consumer Reports ran a combo test in 1960. I just got this May, 1960, issue today in the mail and read it with interest. I came away with some questions I hope the experts on here could answer for me. 1) Apparently there were widely varying drum...

Frigilux--if I remember correctly you have the same SQ dryer that I have. Having had this one for 8 weeks I'm finally getting a handle on where to set the dial on the thing. However, a couple of weeks ago I ordered a set of 6 wool dryer balls for this dryer. I'd bought those plastic ones...

Am thinking about making my own potstickers. Has anyone on here made them? Any suggestions? And yes, I've watched most of the YT videos...

Rain-X I've found over the past decade or so that using Rain-X on the windshield after cleaning it has done wonders to lengthen the life of blades. I think the lubrication that causes water to bead up also keeps them from chattering. Living on the TX Gulf Coast, we get boatloads of rain...

Frigilux Thanks for your reply! My God, I've never used the slow speeds, no telling what they'd sound like! After nearly 20 years of silent front loaders, probably any top loader would've taken some getting used to. Tell me--did the Westinghouse front loaders make much noise on agitation...

As I've stated on here before, a few weeks ago I purchased a new SQ 432 with matching dryer. Living alone and not generating tons of laundry, I often run loads smaller than full-capacity. In fact, most of my loads are 'medium' or smaller on the machine. One thing I've noticed is that, not...

Making Bean Dip Check out YouTube under 'bean dip'. Down here, it's assumed that bean dip is made with pinto beans. However, you can just as easily make it with black beans, mayacoba beans, etc. And, of course, vary your favorite seasonings. A lot of people will 'brown' the beans in a hot...

agifllow2 I'm like you; dryers seem overpriced. No doubt that the manufacturers are working to add enough dryer gimmicks to impress the kids and millenials.

Comino is the natural name for 'cumin'. An absolute staple in Tex-Mex cooking. I use it routinely for cooking pinto beans, some meats, etc. Where I live, here in the Houston area, one sees 'comino' more than 'cumin'. The one ingredient used so much in Tex-Mex that I really don't like much...

Delightful ad on today's POD for the RCA Whirlpool combo. Hell, I'd like to buy one right now! I know so little about these fascinating machines. Among those of you on here, which one of the brands of combo washer/dryers do you consider best, or were considered best back then? I haven't...

Stain Removal We all get stains from time to time; you might want to check out the America's Test Kitchen video on YouTube where they check out stain removers. Tops was indeed the powdered Oxy Clean. However, as you'll see in the video, for it to do its best work it needs to be concentrated...

Cold Water Wash has always mystified me. I understand that there are some woolens and a very few other items that require cold, but I've never owned any of them. Do people wash their damn dishes in cold water? I sure don't. Do these cold water fans think they don't put off sebum, that...

'59 and '60 Buicks That '59 had the six-way seat. The problem with so many of those cars was the angle of the seat back. And no, only Rambler had adjustable seat backs. But--my father owned a '60 Classic wagon as a 'work' car, and it verified what the car mags said back then--the steps were...

Tesco Living in Texas, I have no idea about Tesco powder. Is there a reason that it would have more zeolites than other laundry detergents? I went looking on Wikipedia and was surprised to discover that my cat's litter is likely made from zeolites.
