Since smartphones have been easily gotten, their widespread use, along with the plethora of Apps, has conditioned much of society into a bunch of zombies. I've often, during a nice summer evening, sat out on my patio enjoying the night air and sometimes brought out a radio to listen to and...

Ya know, I never in 20 years since I bought the house, knew what that Rinse-Hold button was for, or what it did. I always just hit the Normal Wash button and walked away, end of story.

I always leave the lid open after doing laundry, and it stays that way until my next wash load. Never had a problem. My dishwasher never smells either, even though the lid is closed, it's spotless inside.

And now you can also qualify to be chastized for wasting food by DADoES/Glenn. 😦

My Kitchenaid KD19 doesn't have a dispenser for rinse aid detergent. Which is fine with me, the Cascade Complete does a fine job on its own.

Goofy Glenn Strikes again!

That's more then stupid, it fuels rudeness too. I threw a Christmas dinner party at my home a while back for several friends and neighbors. I rarely anymore go to all the trouble to do such things. After all, it's a lot of work! The one thing I asked everyone before they came over, was to...

Oh lord!..... I've seen plenty of botched up jobs come across the counter! I could tell stories about them till the cows come home. Jury-rigged slop, dangerous repairs, etc etc etc..... you name it. One thing I always did right at the counter when the customer brought something in was to look at...

Indeed, I like and demand my privacy too. We're entitled to it. I don't need my washing machine to order me some new boxer briefs just because their beyond their "expiration dates". 😮

Good for you! But that's YOU, not everyone is the same way. Small children, elderly or sick people, may not feel like licking the plate clean. Last I heard, everyone has their own DNA too.

Combo52 stated "A dishwasher should get everything you put in it clean without pre-rinsing" His words, not mine. As for leftover food on the plates, not everyone "cleans their plates" at the dinner table. - for various reasons. So why even mention that?

The thing about those youtube videos on stereo repairing is that a lot of times they're produced by amateurs, aka "backyard mechanics". Some are quite convincing though. But I wouldn't rely on them for doing repairing. Why, you may ask? Me, being a long long time professional in the business...

Really?? So according to you, I can leave the chicken bones, chicken skins, peas, beans, ham bones, etc. on the plates and burned sauce stuck in the pots? Wow! I'll pass that important info around to others just so they know!

They're sturdly little machines for sure. Can't put a lot in them, but of course they're small portables. That rapid agitation cracks me up though, and the two speed system is nice. Mine sits, a bit dusty, across the laundry area from the Maytag.

Well, those blackouts only lasted for at most, 45 minutes. PECO electric here is usually pretty quick at fixing the problem. Heck, if it was winter, I'd use a BBQ lighter and fire up the stove burners for heat.

Yes, my living room programmable thermostat runs from a 16 volt transformer. I've only had 3 power blackouts in 20 years, always in the summer.

Beware of ANYthing sold at aliexpress!

Well Chet, my Crown had the "standing pilot" when I moved in, but in 2008 I modified it with a Honeywell electronic conversion package, which saves gas since there's no longer a need for that older pilot system. If the system needs heat.... it fires up the pilot, when that's satisfied, it turns...

Hey Laundryboy! That's the exact same washer model that I have! - but mine is in white. I picked it up for $100 back in 1995 from a guy who came into my shop looking to sell it. I used it for years in my apartment, the only thing I replaced was the agitator dogs once. It's been great since...

I moved in early 2005. Well, I replaced the 33 year old AO Smith hot water heater (started leaking) in 2020 with a new AO Smith model from Lowes. Its amazingly efficient too. The house furnace, a Crown boiler, (Crown in Philly) was installed in 2002, and it's great at keeping the house radiators...
