Hi, first I had a front colition with my grandparents at 4 and a half y/o. I was afraid to death to cars and buses! I used to cry if I had to go into a car!. At ten y/o, my father bought his first car, which was a 4 year Chevy Belair big V8 engine Power Glide transmission. For me, that was the...

Hi Rob, you´ve understood perfectly well. I didn´t think of Ephemera as a third place on the web for this matter.  Thank you, very kind of you. Hughs Gus

Hi Rob, I don´t know if this is the right moment, but can you tell what and where is the third place you talk about beyond this and vacuumland? Thank you whatever your answer.

Thank you for your explanations. I understand very well the reasons why people use those combustibles, in fact I agree with the reasons . Not many days ago, at home, we had a blackout and we were worried because it was midday and it was completely impossible cooking without electricity. Finally...

Please pay no attention to my mistakes since my keypad is configured in Spanish ant the signs change its place instead of the symbols.

Guys, I believe wood-coal-coke combustion is regarded as high pollutants of the atmosphere. I think we must try to use the energy less aggressive to the planes. I use electricity since in our country we could reach a level of electric production that except in extreme droughts we can do it with...

Sorry to say several kinds of heaters old and new, I enjoy using ultra red resistance very old fashion heaters, they Do heat but they also do consume, They're very nice looking when on with the red glow light and if you're near you are very warm, but watch for the electric bill. You'll...

Hi Thomas, I live in Montevideo and we don't have snow but we have near 0 C. temps. The most efficient way of heating a house is weather pumps, we call them here split A/C and they have NO RESISTANCE WIRE TO HEAT BUT THE SAME COMPRESSOR, REVERSES ITSELF TO PRODUCE HEAT TO THE INSIDE OF THE...

Behaviour I´m from Uruguay, so nothing to do with the AEG but I´m fond of your attitude towards the person who posted this thread. You´re quite generous in sharing your knowledge. Congrats for ALL your comments. Gus

Bob, very sweet5 old memories. Thank you for sharing.

Beginning by the end, I´m from Italian origin, but I might be mistaken. Pasta it´s all the food made from flour like gnocchi, ravioli , fetuccini, penne rhigati, etc. Noodles I assume it´s not Italian but Anglo American. Sauce is tomatoe sauce, and gravy it´s like a sort of marinade, some sort...

HI FOLKS, It happens the same many years ago with a fifties Norge fridge. I called a technician in fridges, and he tied an electric cable, in green colour, and fitted it to a new plug which was earthed, like the electric socket in the wall. That worked indeed. Years later there was a short...

Setefan, I´m amassed at he film I´v seen, which is not the first time I see this theme treated in the media. iT HAS A REAL and serious approach. Its for all of us to take real and serious conscience of a real problem that humanity is facing. I DO thank you for your research and knowledge to...

dear Lisa, my coin to your knowledge. In Uruguay many years ago when my children were born the neonatologist adviced to rinse first the debris of diapers and then put them into a buck full or cold water and borax (WHICH HERE is sodium borax) a chemical white powder you buy at the pharmacy. The...

Dear Paula, (if you let me call you this way)not only you're a woman who enjoy old machines but you're a sensible person with a sweet soul. Thank you for staying among us. Gus

Guys you are a THING! I love your wity comments. Thanks!!! You´ve made my day. Gus

Supersuds, I really didn't know there were so many different electric ranges in South America, since Argentina, Chile and Uruguay we're all 220 volts, I assumed the rest would be the same!. But we say in Spanish "live and learn", and this is a real thing in this case. I hope, Peter, you can...

A/C My two pence. I think IMHO that a split 12.000 BTU would cope with big rooms (UNDER CERTAIN LIMITS), and the consumption shouldn't be higher than 1.200 watts. Those machines are quite silent and effective, far more than single window units, which usually are far less efficient and far more...
