love it, very cool!

I saw that too - first commercial break was for the fridge and freezer, second for the Laundromat set. Very cool. Amazing that fridge was $239 - a lot of money in 1950.

That is excellent news! My partner said in his 24 years of living with HIV, he never felt more stigmatized than when he was banned from entering the US. Good to see change coming....

welcome and another!

love it!

"Oh Fab, I'm glad they put active enzyme lemon freshened borax in you!"

I run my own painting/drywall co., also work part time as "the maintenance guy" for the BC Persons with AIDS offices and 3 social housing buildings. Now I'm slowly moving east to Toronto to join my partner where he's moved for his new career, I'm thinking it's time for a change. Past careers...

Thank you! We did our big dinner last night - it's turkey all the way with all the trimmings, 18 pounds of organic free range love in my case... Besides the date difference with the US, I think here it was based on more of a celebration of the crops being brought in and winter coming. No...

hmmmm....so tempting. I was going to go see it but talked myself down. Are you buying?

Like most Canadians, my partner & I have always taken advantage of the close proximity of the US for visits & getaways - hitting SF or NYC at least once a year, weekends in Seattle or Portland etc. That's apparently over now. Last week at the airport, my partner, after being held for over 2...

I have the electric version of that beauty and have had great luck in finding parts needed everywhere from ebay to old appliance repair places. Still need a drawer (the electric version has a drawer under the oven controls), one knob and a new drawer handle....not that I'm hinting you should...

I have the electric version of that stove (it's the deluxe '48)- absolutely love it, although the crisper thing is used for only non food items. Had the clock rebuilt, replaced all 10 light bulbs (there's 5 of them in the back alone to light up the "Tappan Deluxe"), oiled the timer spring &...

I think I posted this link before but it gives you the Inglis scoop. Inglis was THE name for appliances when I was growing up.....not anymore. http://www.inglis.ca/show.php?page=aboutus/history

I'm betting Eatons - just checked my 1973 Eatons spring & summer and although that pattern's not there, a lot of similar ones are, all advertised as "English Ironstone". No mention of the manufacturer but only $39.98 for a 40 piece set...

it's a nice size...

check your mail Pete - sent you a walk down memory lane...

wow Bob, I had to go out for a cigarette after reading that....

awwwwww Pete......the long gone Shaggy Horse. A dump of a place but some of the most fun I ever had here. Were you the guy out back on the loading dock?

on the "bad boys line" one Saturday afternoon when I was really bored and, er, pent up... Supposed to be an hour and here we are almost 11 years later - no one's more surprised than me. I was never the marrying kind.... Pic is us in London celebrating my 50th 9/23/07

At least you guys have some drama going on! Canadian politics these days are a dull, dull state of affairs. A minority government headed by Prime Minister (yawn)Harper, the opposition equally boring. We're probably heading for an election this fall but the only issue that's talked about is...
