If you've not already considered doing such, contact the (National) Lincoln and Continental Owner's Club. There will be someone in the club who will give that lovely car a loving home! The club has a Mid-Atlantic region which encompasses New York, NJ, PA, CT, RI. I'm the membership chair of the...

Almost forgot.... As a thank-you gift for the friend who let us stay with him, I purchased him a box of Miele DW tablets. The water in Palm Springs is incredibly hard, and he wasn't doing himself any favors using nasty Cascade gel with chlorine bleach. He was (yes, it pained me to see him do...

As a day trip to LA while visiting friends in Palm Springs for the White Party, I spent an incredible afternoon at the Miele showroom while visiting Beverly Hills two weeks ago. I drug my husband and friend Patrick along with me, and while they were initially "what's the big deal about these...

In my 12 lb. (5 kg.?) Miele W1930, I'll use 1 level tsp. per 3/4 scoop Sears powdered detergent for most loads; 2 tsp for nasty whites at 180 F. Our water is not especially soft. I'll also add a level tsp. to the Miele DW for most loads with a normal wash and 1/2 Miele tablet, now that the...

Had a coupon for this product, and hadn't been getting outstanding results from Sears detergent+STPP with nasty white been-out-mowing-the-lawn ankle socks, even at 155F in the Miele. Tried one of these packets in the wash, and all I can say is "Wow!" It's HE approved, fragrance free, dye free...

I remember a boyfriends' mother who would WASH the dishes clean and then put them in the TOL KA Superba to "scald 'em". I could never make that woman (or her son) understand..sigh..

The interior lamp for my Sharp R-430E microwave oven has died. Of course, the owner's manual says to take it to an authorized appliance repair center. This may wind up costing me half the price that I paid in 2002 when I purchased the beast ($129.00). Is this something I could do at home? I...

Bought a set of 3 24-count boxes from the Miele online store for $34.95. I have noticed that they no longer contain phosphates, and unlike the (yesteryear) Claro tabs in the blue box, are not scored in the middle for splitting in half. Still, short work with the kitchen shears gets them cut in...

Oops...my bad. It is, of course, beige. The little latch opposite the offending hinge is yellow. See pic attached. The filter isn't clean, I know, but I don't want to be vigorous or even gently clean the filter for fear that the scrap of plastic holding it on will fail. I should have the...

The filter assembly in my 2005 Miele Premiere Plus has worn out. The small yellow flap in the bottom of the assembly which one opens to clean out the filter is hinged on one side by the thinnest of plastic hinges. It's finally worn out, and the next time I open the flap will, I know, be the...

A friend of mine needs to replace the discharge (drain) hose on his LG Tromm FL washer. Apparently, the hose is accessible from the bottom of the washer. The owner's manual says to call a technician to replace the hose. Is this something that a reasonably skilled D-I-Y'er can do? Any...

Like Gyrafoam, I've been in the funeral business for quite awhile, tho' not nearly as long as he. Unfortunately, in some markets, corporate funeral homes are all you'll find. I work for a large corporately-owned funeral firm. I work for the direct competition to the aforementioned...

This is almost exactly the washer I purchased (also new) tho' mine may be a year newer as it heats up to 190 in the cottons cycle. Same 1600 rpm spin speed, etc. I love my machines..got the washer and matching T1520 Dryer from a RETAILER at $699.00 each new and unused in 2008.

If this doesn't make you believe in a higher power, I'm not quite sure what will! I can't play or read a note of music, but this (Charles-Marie Widor's Toccata) always sends chills up my spine! Highly recommended for organ music lovers.

I'm thinking about spending a B&N gift certificate on a Nook, as opposed to an Amazon Kindle or a Sony E-Reader. Now, as a former librarian, I "should" be opposed to an electronic reader, preferring the feel of a good book in my hands, blah, blah, blah. But, I'm really intrigued by the fact that...

Now that Miele no longer sells the Claro-sourced tabs in the pinched waist box, I notice that the tabs (now called "Miele-Care")are available on the Miele site in a different box, and priced differently ($29.95 + shipping for 60 tabs). For those who have used them, can these be broken in half...

I was unaware that the raid had happened. I used to haunt the ATL Eagle quite a bit, but it's been a few (married) years since I've ventured in there. Now that the Eagle in Charlotte, NC has closed (a victim of the economy and the Internet), I was planning a pilgrimage back to Hotlanta now the...

Thinking of barber shops and my mind drifts... Being married to a hairdresser, it could be free. However, since he's been legally blind since his stroke in '95, I go to a old-fashioned military barber shop right outside the gates of Ft. Jackson, here in Columbia. A dry cut is $10 and I give the...

The manual that came with my Miele tumble dryer (T1520) states in bold print: "DO NOT USE DRYER SHEETS WITH THIS DRYER!" It states that the silicates in such will damage the electronic sensors, and that if one wants softened clothes to do it in the washer only. Miele said it, I believe it...

Steve's information (and he, like me, is in the death-care business) in this posting is spot-on, especially that part about "have a plan". We're all going to die, that much is known. You certainly don't have to pay for your funeral/cremation/disposal of some sort in advance, but for pity's sake...
