Green Water Indoors? I don't understand how the pool water coming from a municipal water source would have “organic compounds”, including algae. I thought the chlorine and other chemicals in the potable drinking water supply would stop that from happening to begin with. I’ve seen other indoor...

American Washers I've noticed Hoover seems to be about the only American brand that was sold in Britain or Australia in years past, presumably NZ as well. Was that due to trade restrictions, or product pricing?

I've used Mr Coffee with the stainless carafe for several years. My first one died after 7 years, and i'm on #2 now. Better than Cuisinart's. And I think Cuisinart had some fire safety issues in recent years. But I found the best tasting coffee of all is made with my GE peculator pot (only...

While we're on the topic, why DID manufacturers drop the control panel lights anyway? Was it to cheapen the price? I know I would rather deal with a control panel light at 5:30 in the morning than have all the bright lights on.

If you have a machine with a lighted control panel it just make sense to have the lid open to the side. The light also helps you see into the tub. But with modern machines that don't light up, it probably doesn't matter.

My grandma had this same harvest gold LK dishwasher. It ran strong for 30 years. I miss how it would fill the kitchen with the smell of lemon scented Cascade when it was running. Nothing today smells like that. Wonder how many of these are still going.

Foraloysius, according to the polls, many of your countrymen disagree with you about the EU. And doesn’t it bother you that a regime dominated by Germans is trying to dictate to the people of Europe how to govern themselves?

Now that the EU Wattage National Socialists will no longer have sway over Britain, how many of our cousins across the pond are looking for a more powerful vacuum cleaner right now?

Has anyone had experience with this machine? It looks like it would make a good daily driver, although I'm not crazy about the silverware holder in the door.

The end? The attached link is for a CNN Money article from this morning. Things have gotten worse at Sears, and now they are looking at selling the Craftsman and Kenmore lines. How much longer can this go on? http://money.cnn.com/2016/05/26/investing/sears-kmart-kenmore-craftsman/

Cadillac look The second picture in the article, the one with the sheep. Everyone looks like the inside of a ’76 DeVille. I also remember denim suits during this time. I remember wondering why anyone thought it was OK to wear a suit made from blue jeans.

Ironing sheets I wonder if anyone still irons their own sheets today. Grew up in the 70s and I don't remember anyone ironing sheets back then either.

It appears that the hijacking attacks are aimed at Windows 10 users. Another reason not to use Win-10. I tried it last year when it came out, but it kept freezing my computer. Struggled with it for about 10 hours, then got back in thru safe mode and uninstalled 10.

Does anyone know what year this Lady Kenmore model is? Was this one of the last years for the LK line?

Old South mindset A couple of things about the area. First, the town of Stone Mountain is mostly black, so there could potentially be some tension there if your the only white folks on the block. Second, racial dynamics down here are like nothing out west. Blacks and whites in the South have...

Looking back thru the comments I see I’m not the only one to notice their bad customer service. It’s a result of how Sears treats its employees. They can’t hire or keep good people because no one who has options wants to work there anymore. Sears was nothing like this just 20 years ago.

Thanks! I thought I had seen them positioned toward the bottom of the mix in an old catalog. Makes sense now.

Frogeye Kenmores Looking at the Kenmore frogeyes, I can't place where they fell in the product lineup. Were they considered BOL, MOL, or TOL? Been wondering about that for a while.

Has anyone here seen one of these in the wild? Working, that is...
