That is our question. My beloved Kitchenaid KUDS30IXWH8 is dying. Saturday it was washing a load running along at it's whisper quiet paces as always and all the sudden it sounded like the cat got caught in the disposer. I figured that there must have been something hit the chopper so I...

So I get this email, and then a letter from my alarm company telling me that AT&T and Verizon are phasing out 3G cell service, so my security system that has back up cellular communication may not be able to communicate with the monitoring company if there is an alarm. I needed to contact them...

Sometime ago we had a discussion about Samsung's Water Wall dishwasher. I haven't heard much of it as of late, today I noticed that Dacor has a Water Wall. Does Samsung make these, or is it shared technology...

My Dad worked for the owners of his home, Roger Weidman of Wideman's Metal Masters. He worked there after he was laid off from Boeing, just before he died. He did some work in this home, and used to tell us how grand it was. My dad was a welder by trade, he did the stainless steel work...

I'm talking about the Unstoppables, Gain, Scent crystals etc. I got a free sample of the Unstoppables at Sam's recently. I actually used it in my vacuum cleaner bag, but was wondering what these waxy little pellets actually do to the insides of a washing machine. Do they completely dissolve...

My old and trusted friend has died. There is rarely a time that goes by the Kitchenaid is not used, however, after a marathon baking session Christmas week my KSM5 has set idle until last Tuesday. Having some bananas that were turning brown, I decided to make some banana bread. I put the...

I have seen this story I several places today. Three year old Whirlpool Duet involved. http://www.kare11.com/news/exploding-washing-machine-knocks-out-mother/488201171

I normally hang at least my bedding when weather permits, however, the last two weeks it has rained almost constantly.  There was a break in the rains on Saturday, April 1, so I changed the beds, washed the sheets and was ready to hang them out when I noticed it was starting to cloud up again. ...

My grandmother also "wrenched" her clothes.

Not the one Minnie did I "The Help", I defrosted the deep freeze. For a smaller upright freezer it sure is a PITA. That's why I usually only do it every two years or so, or whenever it will only hold one frozen pizza, which ever comes first. Now with everything back in place I think to ask...

The last few days was cool enough in the mornings that we needed the furnace to take the chill off.  I had been noticing that the Coleman/Evcon furnace would come on, the igniter would glow, burners would light, and immediately go out.  Usually it would finally be ok and run the second time it...

FDA study shows that these soaps are or can contribute to resistant bacteria.  40% of the overall soap market, items containing triclosan and triclocarban.  Manufacturers have one year to comply.    http://www.kansas.com/living/health-fitness/article101517412.html

I don't use fabric softener often, but keep it on hand.  Today I was going to add a dose to the towels I was going to hang out and found that the half bottle of Downey Free & Gentle had congealed into one big block of muck.   Can it be saved at this point?  Should I add water, or just toss it?  

Then again I am easily amused.   I'm just thinking how nice this would be in the middle of the night when you gotta go, and don't want to turn on all the lights.     http://https//www.glowbowl.com/

Today I made Cinnamon rolls, Ginger snap cookies, and  Kris Kringles. All seven pans of cinnamon rolls were done at the same time using three racks and convect-bake. [this post was last edited: 12/22/2015-22:47]

You have to admire Quick Trip, a convenience store company that will spend over $300K to preserve a historic victorian home. This is a beautiful home, and very much a part of the mid-town Wichita history. http://www.kansas.com/news/local/article34693359.html

New study, maybe our dishes are too clean? I may have Asthma, but I am still using my dishwasher, on sanitize. I'll lick a water fountain or something to help my immune system...

This week at work our "new girl"  has been here six months and was eligible for some vacation, so she took two days off.  When she returned I asked her if she had been to Mardi Gras, "No" "I went appliance shopping"     She bought a new dishwasher and stove, as well as a new over the range...

I always hear people say don't get a Service contract, I even tell people that myself--waste of money.   When I bought my dishwasher in 2013, the lady at Sear's talked me into a S/C driving home all the electronics, moistusre, etc.  so I popped for the S/C.   With the service contract Sear's...
