Re:#26 BTW, The Tide Ultra Heavy Duty liquid is about $14.99 for the large jug and I was going thru one of these jugs about every 6 weeks, using capful filled to the large load line for each load (I only wash full loads). The Ariel 2X Power Powdered detergent it $13.99 for a the large 120...

I’ve been using Ariel 2X Power Powdered detergent exclusively since November 2024 after having used Tide Ultra Heavy Duty liquid for the past couple of years before. Hands down the Ariel 2X Power cleans better! It rinses out well and leaves all the laundry soft and clean. I don’t use any...

I completely agree about having simple, no frills appliances. We bought our GE 16 cu ft Top Freezer refrigerator 9 years ago this month. It was made in the USA, no extras what so ever, it even has wire shelves. It’s the best fridge we’ve ever owned! When we bought it I ordered an extra wire...

I have a Roper RTW4516FW2 which is essentially the same machine as your Whirlpool and this part snaps right outta my agitator with no problem at all. And is easily reinstalled. Eddie

Yes Louie, In our home Bosco was supreme too, in cold milk for chocolate milk and hot milk for hot chocolate.😀 Before my sister was born we lived next door to an elderly woman named Mrs. Brennen and she used to invite me into her kitchen to have “coffee”and she’d give me a cup of hot Ovaltine...

Bosco way the ONLY chocolate syrup we ever had in our home when I was kid. Mom always put it on our ice cream with sliced bananas and called them Banana Splits, and it was delicious! Eddie

After all this talk about Burgers and Fries I got the craving. So, tonights dinner is Chicken Burgers with Honey Mustard sauce and Oven Fries with Carrot and Celery sticks to get some vegetables in the menu. Eddie

I used to really love reading Consumer Reports back in the 60’s, 70’s and early 80’s. They were always a wealth of information with lots of pictures of the products that they tested. Then around ‘87 their reviews began to lose credibility and no longer had the detail of prior years.. We...

I’ll sum up my point of view on this topic in seven words. Enjoy everything in moderation. You do you. Eddie

Chet, I think it’s great when anyone makes home cooked meals and your french fries look crispy and well fried. Same goes for your onion rings and fried chicken. I didn’t mean to denigrate your efforts at all. The main reasons I seldom deep fry anything is 1. it takes a lot of expensive oil...

I would agree that a college education is sometimes wasted by folks that have borrowed on student loans that will take them decades to pay off, if they ever do. While they then don’t even use the college degree that they earned, if they ever even attain a degree. But for young people that are...

I make Cheeseburgers for us once a month for our dinner on Saturday. I buy 2 lbs. of 93/7 lean ground beef and divide it into six 5 oz burgers and freeze them on a baking sheet, then place them between wax paper and place them in ziplock bags, 2 to a bag and store them in the freezer. I hate...

Yey Ralph! I’m happy that this turned out to be a simple fix. I remember when the Neptunes first came out. I really wanted one, but it was too expensive at that time so I opted for a Frigidaire FL which was also a great machine, electro mechanical controls and never failed to SPIN. I hope...

Ralph, I’m sorry that your Neptune isn’t working properly. I hope that John will see your last post soon and offer you some viable options for your being able to get it up and running properly. I know you want to keep it and i would too if I were you. Good Luck1 Eddie

Well Ralph you really like this machine because of the electro mechanical controls that you simply can’t get in a new machine anymore, so I say try to find a new timer and repair it. But I’m certainly not an expert. I’m sure that John will be able to tell you whether or not it’s a realist...

My maternal grandparents always had Pineapple Grapefruit juice on hand and I used to love having an ice cold glass of it when I visited. They also used to make drinks for themselves in the afternoons by putting a shot of bourbon or gin into a glass of pineapple grapefruit juice. Eddie

John, I grew up with Melmac too! We didn’t have a DW, but I don’t recall that the Melmac ever got stained either. But then the cups were darker colors so coffee or teas stains wouldn’t have shown much. Eddie

I’ve used powdered Dishwasher detergent to clean out percolators for at least 20 years now. Fill the percolator to the max number of cups with cold water and add 3-4 tbs of DW detergent to the basket and run it through a cycle (if it’s a stove top perk bring it to a perk and perk for 7 mins)...

I don’t know much about the installation of a gas stove, but if the stove is going to sit between the cabinets I’d go with the 48” connector to give plenty of room to access the back of the stove in the future. Also, you could take a couple of photos on your phone of the connection on the...

The very first automatic washing machine that I remember my family having was a Bendix Economat that we got in 1954 when we moved to a new house that had a basement. I loved how the clothes were all mashed up against the agitator when the cycle was finished and Mom opened up the lid. Before...
