Hi everybody. You haven't heard from me lately because I have been very busy getting my Mom's estate in order. I have her electric Ironrite in the basement. It's a Model 85, probably purchased in 1958, when they moved into this home. Mom used it constantly until permanent press sheets came out...

BSH is recalling about 500,000 dishwashers manufactured from May 1999 through July 2005. It is a voluntary recall. See the link below for models affected and how to get a repair. I called today and they are shipping the part directly to me. I got a case number, and the phone number to arrange...

I want to thank you all for your prayers and kind thoughts when I needed them. My Mom, Betty, was a wonderful woman, I was blessed to have her as a Mother. She was kind and generous, just a joy to be around. I miss her terribly. If you want to read a little about Mom, visit her Hope Through...

I lost my dear, dear, Mother on Monday Jan. 12. She was 92 years young. It was very sudden, and she died peacefully. The funeral is next week in Philadelphia. Needless to say, I may not be talking with you wonderful folks for awhile. Your friend, Lisa.

Saw a new dishwasher detergent at the Dollar General last week, Pulse Pure Power tabs. The price was reasonable, 35 tabs for $3.50. So I thought to give them a try. They are a solid blue tablet, individually wrapped. First problem, they won't fit in the Bosch. Well I bashed it with a hammer, and...

In case any one is interested, I was in Marc's in Mayfield yesterday and they have brand new Ariston Platinum washers for $200. I did not see a matching dryer, but they may be available in other stores. Gee, you never know what will show up at a Marc's store.

Having been educated by you fine folks on some of the finer points of washing machines, I have a question for you. I have just realized that my Mom's Equator washer/dryer has never been run through a cleaning cycle. Mom washes everything in warm with liquid detergent, usually Arm and Hammer...

What a great picture of the day, featuring one of my favorite television personalities, Bill Cullen! Bill was a versatile guy, anyone remember him on "I've Got A Secret"? They sure don't make game shows like they used to. Wasn't "What's My Line" wonderful too. And Kitty Carlisle on "I've Got A...

Can anyone shed some light on this wringer washer? It is owned by a friend's brother, and run with an old one cylinder gas engine. It says "1900 CATARACT" on the side. Anyone seen one of these before?

I have just finished up the last of my old Zout, the original unscented formula (Pre Dial). Just used my "new" bottle, it's the blue bottle formula. Boy does it stink! It gets the stains out, but leaves a really heavy scent. Even stays in clothes after a second wash. It's driving me mad, as I...
