I had a tuff time with my tomatos this summer; they didn't do very much. I think it had a lot to do with the scorching record breaking temps..it was actually 117 one day in July!! I ate a few and managed to can about 4 pints. Now that winter is around the corner suddenly all the plants are bowed...

modern plastic's 1956 Ad cracked me up!!!! Did everyone's mother except mine take the agitator out? I'll have to say I never saw my mother gaze upon the beauty of the plastic agitator... let alone take it out of the tub...LOL!!!! or maybe she did late at night when no one was watching.

page 20 Ultramatic: Thanks for posting the cookbook. would it be possible for you to give us a look at page 20? I'd like the coconut icing recipie. I make a coconut cake every year at Christmas; it's sorta expected since I'm the one that host Christmas dinner...apparently homemade coconut cake...

question Like a lot of you I'm cracking up at this stuff...but still I'm totaly grossed out!!!! I guess what really blows my mind is...what the hell kind of mags did these ads run in?

the worst cook Easy..my exwife!!! During the holiday season of 1989 she announced that she would be making the dressing for Thanksgiving (prior to this her mother made it and it was to die for; so out of sheer spite and jelously she wanted to show her mom up)...so the big day rolls around...she...

yes yes the mixes were sold in packs. My cousin had EBO..turquise/light bulb, I wanted one but since I was a boy and it was the early 60's; well you know the rest of the story. So my cousine and I would "bake" in hers. My mom would take us to the local version of Wal-Wart of that time; I want...

Last June my 25k btu went out; was working fine that monring; I came home I noticed it was off. Never really found out what the problem was; I suspect it was a 10 dollar part. It would make a humming sound for a few seconds then click and be dead again. It was only 9 years old and I felt like I...

Matt: I've done quite a bit of canning; well lots..nothing better than home canned. I've noticed some of the advice above on times to process...your best bet is to get a book and follow the instructions. If your not careful you can end up making yourself and whomever you feed sick. I've never...

yes K-Mart was a big deal when I was growing up....I do remember having my pic taken with a cousin...but what I remeber the most is their carmel popcorn, bulk candy counter and the Red Grill..and of course the "blue light special" Too bad they let themselves crash...or at least here they did...

thanks!! Thanks Ron for answering my question...I never thought of the handle for turning the pump on/off. Forsome reason I envisioned that handle releasing some kind of drawer that had a filter trap inside one could clean after use. Thanks again!!/mark

handle in the middle kenmore ron: your Easy is exactly like the one my aunt and grandmother had...I posted a few years ago that I was fasinated with the machine as a child I was FORBIDEN to touch it..so when no was was looking I'd move the timer around...anyway my question is..what is/does the...

True it is good for a chuckle, but I have  clients that are borderline on the IQ scale, they present as average but after you talk with them for a few minutes you realize something's not right. The lady could be borderline. I've had clients in the past pour bleach all over their color clothing...

thanks!! Thanks for sharing!!! I love vintage receipies. My only complaint is I just got 30 pounds off from my quit smoking withdrawals...now I've got these 2 cakes to try plus the pineapple pie. I had made plans to make the pineapple pie for Memorial Day but had to shelf it because someone...

thank you thanks Matt and Spook. I got a new TV 2 years ago; a small flat screen for the bedroom. A friend that was moving gave me his almost new 27 inch TV (old style) that I have in the spare bedroom. Since I already had satilite in the house when the big conversion took place I guess I...

I've almost decided to cancle my dish services. I'm not that big of a TV watcher and it seems when I do watch the tube it's mostly the major network stations. I understand there's a box I can purchase at Best Buy or Radio Shack that allows the reception of local channels. Has anyone tried "the...

Since I seldom buy the name brand there's not much reason to coupon; and like a lot of comments above..coupons are usually for things I never buy. There's a few things like dish soap, laundry detergent, tolet paper and crackers that I'm a stickler on a certain brand; but as luck would have it, I...

it was great I don't have that feature on my 1941 Roper; but several years back when I had 6 people in the home I did have a gas wall oven that had the clock set feture. It was great. I could take a casserole dish out of the freezer, pop it in the oven, set the clock and by the time I got home...

my mother always used Dash..in the red box. She passed away in 1988 and the last few years of her life she did'nt do the laundry. I don't remember it having much of a smell/scent. I always wanted her to buy Tide or Cheer becasue of the scent and suds. She was a dediciated Dash user because of...
