"Try washing greasy dishes in cold water. Body oils and all that need hot water." There's a thread here somewhere discussing the temps needed to wash out skin oil and various other types of oil/grease based stains & dirt, assuming the use of products available in the average supermarket...

That reminds me of a funny incident. A few months ago there was a problem with the hot water in my building that caused a building wide temp drop. I'm now on my 3rd apartment in this building and I never noticed any hot water temp change over the past 5 years.. The problem was fixed. Again, I...

I know it's been a trend for years and not limited to washers, but I really, really hate undescriptive descriptors. What exactly do "Bulky Items" and "Deep Clean" mean? How are those cycles physically different from regular? As for temps, thanks to everchanging ATC "Tap Cold" is the only label...

If the whole heating unit turns out to be no good.... I saw a 2020 version of this classic 3 weeks ago at Costco, so similar heating units are still being produced somewhere on the planet. A few years ago I was looking at those alcohol burning 'fireplaces' and other such heaters that needed...

I use salted because my docs have told me I'd probably feel better if I could get my blood pressure UP to something like 120/85. faster For the blends I prefer butter/olive oil. Don't know why....... Several doctors have told me that artery clogs/deposits from butter/dairy dissolve...

Love the vid. Sweet car.

You've bought an Orgasmatron! Oh. Wait. That's just how I respond. Never mind.........

Yes, but if you did nothing, you continued as before. Many people missed that memo and continued 'renting' their phones for years afterward.

That combo looks like an awful lot of fun. Please keep us posted. When I have my way I tend to value function over form, much to the annoyance of some people who used to be in my life. I also tend to keep things until they're irreparable or my needs change. Hell, I used to dye clothes that...

#50 Sorry to hear that. That's a serious bummer. And $8500? That's crazy! $3500 would be a bit more reasonable IMO, especially because the $8500 price tag might well scare off potential buyers.....

#1 HEY! WE were Cypress! ... Which makes me wonder: Was there any uniformity in exchange names? Was every 29x exchange called 'Cypress-x' xxxx? But by the time we moved into our 1960's suburban 'development' letters/names had been dropped. Hard-wired connections were as well. We had those...

"My Polo's AC system dosen't have a temperature control per se. It's a simple dial that mixes air between what goes through the heater core, what goes through the AC and what is just outside air. Thus, turning it down gives you a higher percentage of cold air mixed in and the higher the cooling...

"No, it won't and that is one thing people just won't get through their thick heads. Same as those who walk into a home and turn AC down to 70F or even lower because they are "hot", and think it will cool things down faster." In partial defense I'd like to point out that I've rarely heard a...

When the power goes I turn off the tv, laptops, dehumidifiers, & dishwasher if any of them are running. If it's daylight, I turn on one light so I'll know when the power comes back.

A long time ago I worked in Gap, Wrangler,& Chess King retail stores....... Those brown/tan, holes, wear spots, etc. are all add-ons. Honestly, neither I nor any of my coworkers ever figured out the attraction. I think many/most of them are popular only in specific areas of the country. None...

#43 At only 36K miles might the batteries be covered under some kind of warranty? IIRC, Nissan also has/had some kind program for batteries that 'got got old before their time'. You still had to purchase them but there is/was a huge discount. #44 My 2nd Cube developed a similar problem...

My second Cube from a few posts back. Pics taken at a stop on the way home from buying it. More BOL than the first one, but perfectly fine. One weird thing: This one is noisier at 65mph than my first Cube yet quieter at 85. Go figure. Photo credit: NewVista58 [this post was last edited...

They look great!!! I use 4100k in my living room/dining room/office combo. For me they're the ideal cool vs warm balance. Warmer has a better feel but eye fatigue sets in prematurely when reading. Cooler feels too harsh and stark. YMMV, but I think you've nailed it for a laundry room, and...

Smart Car!!! I put down my $99 deposit the second day they started accepting them in the US. Unfortunately, My '96 Olds 88 decided to shift into neutral'.... and stay there; repair was over twice the value of the car. Next was an '03 Hyundai Elantra. Can't complain. 100K miles in 5 years...

One thought just popped up: I know in Italy there're multiple grades/types of olive oil used for different things. Also, many people with an Italian background a wed to one particular brand and type of olive oil and have a grudging second choice if necessary. Philipo Berio was the 'team' I was...
