I saw a post with a pic of a Maytag dryer; the words Heavy Duty were on the machine. Made me remember my mother always insisted her washer and dryer were labeled as "Heavy Duty". Did that really make a difference or was it just a marketing tool?

Does anyone have any helpful tips on dealing with cat litter being tracked everywhere. I bought a home back in February with a friend. He has 2 cats that are adorable, I love them and they love me; so that's certainly not an issue. The issue is, they track litter all over the house. It's...

Over the course of the past 3 years I have experienced several life changes. Painful then, but all worth it today. I’m moving into a new home which means cleaning out while packing. I got these about 35 years ago. I suspected they probably came as an accessory to a stove/range. I noticed in the...

In the vintage appliance thread there's an ad for the Boss 1946 Kerosene Range. Does anyone know how those stove performed/ worked? Wouldn't they have stunk up the entire house? What sparked my question was my parents bought an older home in 1958 then less than a year later sold and moved to a...

Over the holiday weekend I was in shower, glanced down and the water was a brownish color. First thought "what have I been doing to get this dirt". Then thought the fire department had flushed the lines and that often times causes me to have brownish water. Well...come to find out it's coming...

I picked this up over the past weekend for a 30 pack of Miller Lite!! Does anyone have any information on it? I've looked on line every which way I know and cannot even find a pic. The story is: a couple in my neighborhood bought a 1930's craftsman about 2 months ago. They wanted to update the...

I bought a new car last August and it came with free XM radio for however long, not sure. I've really enjoyed it and will probably pick up the subscription whenever the "free" period runs out. I'd like to have this in my home as well. Does anyone know if it can be done? I've been wanting a...

I always enjoy the pod...in fact it's part of my morning routine before starting work. I've seen today's pod before and I was wondering if anyone beside me is a little grossed out by a machine that washes dirty clothes and dishes? I'm probably over thinking this but I just can't seem to get past...

What's everyone cooking up for Christmas dinner? Actually I have a motive for asking the question..I'm going to fix the traditional turkey and dressing and I have a new receipe for green beans casserole (hot and spicy) but beyond that I'm at a loss; I'd like to do something a little different. I...

Just thought I'd ask for some feed back. I'm thinking of giving a GPS as a Christmas gift. I borrowed a friends back in the summer while I was in Nashville Tn. and for the most part it got me around town without getting lost. There's a thing or two that I'm not clear on..such as:1) is the...

It occured to me about 3 months ago that I pay for satilite every month and 99% of the time I only watch the local channels. I'm considering discontinuning the service..seems like a waste of money every month. My contract with Dish network expired in February so I can do whatever. Has any one...

I'm thinking about buying a Zenith floor radio off craigslist...thought it might be a fun restore project to do over the summer. Does anyone have any experience/thoughts. I took the sellers pic and put it in this post...it's kinda small./thanks/mark

Just a question for you all. I got a 15inch flat screen (Magnavox) for Christmas in 2010. It's worked fine and is still working fine but it smells. I have it in my bedroom on a chest of drawers...on Tuesday mid day I ran home for lunch and to let my dogs out...there're both elderly; one lays on...

I had a tuff time with my tomatos this summer; they didn't do very much. I think it had a lot to do with the scorching record breaking temps..it was actually 117 one day in July!! I ate a few and managed to can about 4 pints. Now that winter is around the corner suddenly all the plants are bowed...

I've almost decided to cancle my dish services. I'm not that big of a TV watcher and it seems when I do watch the tube it's mostly the major network stations. I understand there's a box I can purchase at Best Buy or Radio Shack that allows the reception of local channels. Has anyone tried "the...

In reguards to baking...does it matter if the burbon is cheap or expensive? I'm not a fan of burbon as in drinking but I do enjoy the flavor in certain baked goods. I have a chcolate burbon pecan pie I make each year at the holidays. I bought a small bottle of something about 3 years ago and...

I purchased a GE electric skillet off e bay. It's probably 25 years old, new still in box with tags and warranty card. I've tried to use it twice. The first time I made a grill cheese sandwich and almost burned it up. I figured I did'nt have the skillet figured out yet. Tried again last night...

Wise one's..please help!!! About 6 weeks ago I posted a question that my Fridg. AC was blowing chuncks of what appeared to be dirt...from the response it seems it was mold..I contacted a repair person but before he could come to the house a friend was over and blew the unit out with the water...

I purchased a box of "sure-gel" to make black berry jam last night; I usually purshase the store brand sure-gel but the store I was shopping at only had the name brand. So I got home and proceed with the jam making process and while the berries were doing their thing in the pot I noticed in the...
