@foraloysius I hear you on the secretiveness of these Brits ;=) I've contemplated signing up for one of these VPN services so I can get a UK IP address ;-)

Good Lord... Well, I wouldn't guarantee not to deck anyone who startled me like that! But yeah some of these guys DID overreact just a bit!

@ultramatic Pennies are sort-of a copper alloy. Until 1982, they were a 95% copper, 5% zinc alloy. Since then, they have been a 99.2 % , .8% copper alloy with pure copper on the outside. I'd say they were not durable at all, without A LOT of urethane on them. A LOT of urethane.

Thanks! Gotcha, that makes sense now.

Biologicals...enzymes... Don't these detergents "eat" organic fibers, such as wool, silk, cotton, etc.? They are proteins, yes? Just curious; last time I bought woolens from woolovers.com/woolovers.co.uk/etc

220 v appliances and lethality For 220v small appliances, if you live anywhere where they are Indian communities, check out Indian stores. Often they have 220v appliances that folks buy and take to relatives when they go to India. If your home as 220v it would be relatively easy to wire up...

Given how 'Ritzy' Colts Neck is... ...I wonder if this is an estate and the person who had it loved mid century modern?

antique bread machines There ARE antique bread machines, but they are dough producers. See attached link http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-art-collectibles-ANTIQUE-BREAD-MAKER-THE-ORIGINAL-BREAD-MACHINE-W0QQAdIdZ155479249

juicer Come to think of it , I do have one: a manual citrus juicer I bought at a thrift shop solely to extract juice when making marmalade. So I use it once/twice per year, does that mean I should get rid of it? LOL.

yeah it is more 'what's your life like?' I don't use an electric can opener, nor a countertop grill. I have extensively used a juicer in the past (think several decades ago) but the thing I DO use frequently is a bread machine, for gluten and gluten free bread (we have 2). I just love the...

I thought i was the only one... Wow, I thought i was the only person on the planet who preferred electric stoves over gas. I have electric convection ovens, but I also prefer electric tops...fast heat, not as adjustable as gas, no, but not bad. And no mess. I switched to electric mid 1990s...

Don't forget toxic laundry detergents. Nobody can tell you what the formulations of detergents will do to the biospheres....

awesome! This is an awesome machine!! Enjoy it :) As for the back pain, have you tried "Vibram Five Fingers" shoes? I have tried them recently and BOY do they help loosen everything up.

All Miele? Is it all Miele machines?

Two Zoji My wife and I are a 2 Zoji family. I use the larger one that makes horizontal loaves for my bread. I make a loaf or 2 per week and never, ever buy bread anymore as I don't like the taste of store bought. I too think you can do a better job in the oven but I like the time savings...

it's not messy... ...it's 'lived in' :)

Incredible. I don't understand selling washing machines that don't ... clean clothes. You can use HE detergents that don't suds (sud?) but is the detergent REALLY out of the clothes? For several years I used my Duet and I now, having gone back to an Asko, remember what RINSED clothes were like.

"Cake Bible" I use this book as a reference, but interestingly enough, have never made many of the recipes in there. They just aren't to my taste. However, I DO use some of her components - like the icing recipes, and such. And the interchange charts about ingredients are invaluable if you...

for those who buy US made products.. I have found US made towels that are out of this world -- bought 'em from here 'Made in USA Forever' or some such. Link's attached. They are SLIGHTLY more expensive but the quality is incredible. And they feel good. http://madeinusaforever.com/bathroom.html
