Hi all: Today a delivery person came to my door and asked me to take a delivery for the house next door because nobody was there. I said that I was not comfortable doing that because I didn't know the people, but he didn't accept that and implored me to take it, saying that it was windy and...

I got rid of a lot of stuff when I moved house 10 years ago, and I vowed that I would not allow stuff to accumulate in this house. I have been pretty good about it. I used to buy vintage stereo equipment but stopped doing that; I figure I have enough backups, and I don't need anything else. I...

I wonder what P&G will do with its beauty lines? I would think Olay would be a cash cow for the company, but maybe not. I would be happy to see the fragrance lines go to other companies because P&G doesn't seem to be very good with those. The Gucci fragrances made under P&G are nowhere near as...

Congratulations on your find, retropia! Let us know how it works out. Bruce

Hi everyone: Thanks for your replies. Sorry for my delayed reply; I hadn't been able to get back on until now. Eugene, it is the old-school model with the round door. Mine looks very much like the one pictured by retropia above. Allen, my machine does not have a specific Quick Wash setting...

My Frigemore front loader (Kenmore brand) passed the dreaded 5-year mark this past spring, and it's still going strong. I hope I'm not jinxing it by saying that, but I love this machine. It washes really well, uses a sufficient amount of water, always spins when it's supposed to, and doesn't...

Thanks for all of your replies. I enjoyed reading all of the different perspectives. I don't think I would want to get a used VCR because I'm afraid it might have roaches in it. I think my cable box has a DVR, but I believe I would have to pay extra to use it, which I would not be willing to...

Hello all: Last week, my 11-year-old VCR conked out. I guess I'm way behind the times, but I was surprised to find that stand-alone VCRs are not made anymore. I hooked up a VCR/DVD recorder combo that I had had for several years but never used. It's OK, but the DVD recorder is temperamental at...

The linked article is clearly an investor perspective, which is telling. I guess Sears has become nothing more than a holding company, not interested in anything other than providing instant gratification to the almighty shareholder. How's that working for them? I know we all want our...

I am using the current version in the box that Westie2 pictured and have been pleased with it. For measuring, I use a small scoop that came with a previous bucket of Sears Ultra Plus detergent: one level scoop in the Frigemore front loader. At that dose, it cleans well and doesn't make many suds...

I have been using Tide HE With Bleach powder for awhile and have been very pleased with it. I don't recall the version I bought being named Ultra, but it was over a year ago when I bought it (it lasts a long time because I only have to use a little), and I don't have the box to look at because I...

My first car was a 1963 Plymouth Valiant four-door sedan, which my father bought me for about 50 bucks in 1976. It was white with a light-blue interior, and the exterior finish was horribly pitted. It had the push-button automatic transmission and burned oil like crazy, but it got me back and...

Wonderful brochure! A bit of trivia: The model in the brochure is Kathleen Noone. She played Ellen Shepherd on All My Children and also had a role on Knot's Landing.

I have been using Oxydol powder in my front loader with good results. It's not specifically an HE detergent but does have instructions for front loaders on the box. Works great and doesn't cost much. I have also used the Sears Ultra Plus detergents and was pleased with those as well. I might...

I am very sorry for your loss, and I know this is not an easy time for you, but always remember that she lived a life filled with love and happiness, and that was because of you. She knows.

I tried the Seventh Generation laundry detergent and was not impressed. Cleaning was so-so, and the laundry had a strange "dirty water" smell when it came out. I promptly went back to Sears detergent.

I was in Walmart the other day and noticed that it now has its own Great Value brand powder laundry detergents. I had never seen them before. There were two varieties: a lavender scented one and another scent that I can't recall (fresh something, I think). I noticed that the Great Value liquid...

Here, I like Redner's, Giant, and sometimes Weis. I also like Whole Foods, but there isn't one in my town. I go to one not in my town once in awhile, but I do find it pricey. I sometimes go to Shop Rite as well, which recently took over a local chain here that used to be called Klein's. It's OK...

What creeps me out are coworkers who have intertwined personal lives outside of work. I'm not talking about intimate relationships but social stuff, like shopping for wedding dresses together, having drinks together regularly, going on weekend outings together, having lunch with departed...

Wasn't aspirin a trade name at some point? I thought I read that somewhere.
