Does anyone here use or know anything about Charlie's Soap? I see it mentioned frequently on another laundry forum, where it seems to have an almost cult-like following. I rarely see it mentioned here, though, so I was wondering whether anyone here has anything to say about it. Is it good? Thanks.

I remember that. Most of the dance-type clubs played it regularly circa . . . 1979? I always liked it but remember the version played being much harder than the one in the clip; perhaps it was a special dance mix. Thanks for the memory (although I must admit some reluctance in considering 1979...

Wow. Thanks for your replies. I didn’t intend to start a controversy; I just asked a simple question. Sorry if I instigated anything. Thanks for the video, dadoes. At first I thought it was an example of mild OCD, but since I’m the one who admitted to having tantrums over trying to fold sheets...

Does anyone here use a flat sheet instead of a contour sheet for the bottom sheet? Every time I have a tantrum trying to fold a contour sheet neatly as it comes out of the dryer, I am reminded of a Martha Stewart episode from years ago in which she said she preferred to use a flat sheet for the...

I don't like summer very much, so I usually don't make summer vacation plans. I might like to go to the beach for a few days (about a 3-hour drive), but other than that, no plans.

I know it's sometimes considered lame, but I always liked "Making Love," and I thought it was so cool that Kate Jackson got to do a feature film (and of this type)!

Here's another article, which names "potential bidders." Other articles I read state that GE is citing the housing slump and a decline in credit as reasons for trying to sell the appliance division. Mostly, though, it seems to be a move to appease disappointed shareholders because current...

Thanks for the additional words. I’m really liking this machine. It seems to work well with little fuss. Time will tell how it holds up, of course, but I will try to treat it well.

Just me here. I average three loads per week: one clothes, one towels, and one sheets. I don’t have much in the way of white, black, or very dark clothes, so I just put all the clothes together in a single load.

That is a beautiful house with a lovely history. Hope you enjoy it for many years to come!

Thanks for your replies. I have noticed that many people have had good experiences with these machines. I hope to as well. I’m not sure about a comforter; I guess it would depend on how bulky it is. I haven’t tried anything like that yet. I did wash a full-size comforter in the larger...

Sears had this Kenmore front loader on sale for $480, so I decided to give it a try. So far, I like it. It has simple controls and only a few cycle choices, but those are about all I would use anyway. Compared with the larger Frigidaire I had previously, this one seems to use more water and...

And why is there a big picture of Patricia Heaton in it?

Shoes off for me. Not for any concerns about the house but strictly for comfort. I will wear them in the house if I have visitors, but otherwise I'm barefoot (or in socks during the winter). I don't leave them at the door, but the first thing I do when I come in is take my shoes off and put...

I had a cordless mower called Bully. It stopped working after just a few mowings. Apparently there is a fuse inside that is not accessible to the user, and there is no repair support. Absolutely ridiculous. Am happy with my BD corded mower.

Happy birthday! Hope you had a wonderful day.

Happy birthday!

Best wishes to Rich for a full recovery. On this road you have love, and that shall help you on to the best days ahead. Take care.

I have a regular DD Whirlpool TL washer, which I purchased in January. I like it. It does what it’s supposed to do and seems to do it well. It is noisy—with all the thumping going on during agitation, one might think something is wrong with it, but apparently that is how these machines operate...

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts are with you.
