Economic stimulus? I can't really think of anything I want. I'll probably put it in savings or make an additional principal payment on my mortgage. I'm sure Ric Edelman would be frothing at the thought of that, but what can I say? Guess I'm not very stimulated.

Cable TV is a ripoff too I find that cable television is as much of a wasteland as broadcast television. The days of commercial-free cable programs are long gone. I like to watch old movies, so I do enjoy TCM sometimes, and that is still commercial free. The on-demand movie service, though, is...

Yeah, my mom has the TV on pretty much 24 hours. As for PBS, it is not so good anymore. At least on my local PBS station, fundraising dominates. The ratio is pretty much 2 weeks programming, 4 weeks fundraising, alternating like that all year. And both the programming and the fundraising are...

Other possible sources You might also check with Garage-A-Records, KABUSA, Needle Doctor, and LPGear. All have Internet sites. They might not have a cartridge but might have a stylus. The cartridge in your unit is probably an Astatic ceramic cartridge--just guessing from the player and the era...

Oh, that is nice! Thanks for showing it.

Three years ago, the roller rink adjacent to my neighborhood closed. It was very old, had been there for decades, and was considered somewhat of a historic landmark in the area, which used to be rural but has changed a bit. I was sad to see it go, having been accustomed to seeing it over the...

From a reliability standpoint, Hondas, Toyotas, and Nissans are all good. I have a Honda Civic and love it. It only has 54,000 miles on it so far, but it has been flawless. Previously I had a Nissan Altima, which was also good. It had 140,000 miles on it when I bought the Honda, and it was fine...

Try Garage-A-Records, Needle Doctor, or LPGear. They might have it (or a compatible replacement).

I love this stuff! I used to pore over those Allied and later Radio Shack and Lafayette catalogs all the time. Ah, those turntable deals with cartridges for a penny! I always liked those Garrard changers. I have a Zero 100; it’s cool but very fussy. Don’t use it much these days. Actually, I...

I thought so too but apparently not. The Method site lists CVS, Wegmans, Food Lion, Lowes, and Office Depot (!) among other stores that carry Method products in my area, although I have not checked out any of those stores directly. If you are looking for a powder HE detergent in the stores...

I bought the Sweet Water version because that was the only one available in the small bottle here. I think it cleans well, but the fragrance is very strong and will stay on everything, no matter how little you use or whether you use it in a front or top loader. Don't even think of washing...

Wow, how cool is that! That's a Miracord, I think? I have never seen that kind of indexing before. Thanks for sharing it.

All of our KKs went out of business about 2 years ago. They were very popular when they first opened in the late 1990s, but then they seemed to fizzle. Guess they couldn't make a go of it here. Funny enough, one site now houses a T-Mobile store, as if that is going to last! I don't eat donuts...

Answer to Launderess' trivia question: I think that may be "Young Lust" by Pink Floyd, from The Wall?

I have a landline as my main phone. The phone itself is just a cheapie ATT unit that has a caller ID display and an answering machine built in. The answering machine, which is digital, sounds horrible, but because I am a screener, an answering machine is a must; finding a phone that has one is...

Wow. I've never even heard of this person before. I had to do a search to find out who he is. It is sad that he died so young and with what seemed to be such promise.

I just tried the suggestion above of unscrewing the hinge on my new Whirlpool. It works. It's an easy workaround that allows you to watch. Thanks.

Well, I just bought a regular old DD Whirlpool TL machine to replace a much-hated Fridigaire FL that I had. Will let you all know how it does if you are interested. I am not new to the DD Whirlpool; I "inherited" one in a house purchase and thought it was fine. But then I got the FL bug, so I...

If I were choosing such a washer, I would get a Whirlpool-branded model, which is usually less expensive and might be a bit plain in comparison, but it's essentially the same thing, so why not get the original?

I just read the report. It is somewhat puzzling to me. It says that the conventional top loaders have addressed the energy restrictions by having more aggressive agitation. What does that mean? Have all the Whirlpool-made machines speeded up their agitation? I can't imagine that they have. And...
