SOLD .......Miele White Pearl for sale. A full sized, good old Miele. Works well, has been serviced when needed. New power cord and rewinder. The tool cover is broken at the hinge, but stays on until you unlock it. Some scrapes and scruffs, really not that much use .I think I have all the owners...

After living with issues on all our appliances for a while, we bit the bullet and got all new ones. The old GE oven from 2006 would never hold temp, the Kenmore front loaders from 2008 were good, but the front was rusting, and the GE traditional fridge was always too small. We went with all LG...

When I'm occasionally killing time at work, I'll google addresses I used to live at or check them out on Realtor. After my Dad died in 1970, my Mom remarried 2 years later to an Air Force friend of his and we all packed up from the Detroit area and moved to rural Sterling Illinois. 45 minutes...

At the end of June, I was in an accident in my 18 Chevy Equinox. I had just taken the dog for a walk and we were going to get the car washed. I was rear-ended by a fully loaded dump truck that lost its brakes. I actually had been following the truck down a hill and he was having problems...

I've been clearing out some things and would like to "re home" my Blaupunkt hi fi console. Hoping someone local restores or is interested in vintage hi-fi's. I've had it since I was 18, so that was 38 years ago (more or less) Bought it from a friends parents that were moving to Florida, the...

I've had this dishwasher for 12 years now, bought it used when I bought this house. It's been great, cleans really well and until I remodel the kitchen I plan on keeping it. The problem is the racks are rusting in many places and it kind of skeeves me. Lost several tines on the upper and the...

Anyone local interested in this Carry cool a/c. Its the 5600 btu model, with very little use in good condition. Bought it at an estate sale, didnt want to see it go to the curb. Looking for $25 for it. I just had to throw the original box away as it got wet and fell apart. Send me a message if...

So my Tide bottle was a little yucky around the lid so I took it to the kitchen sink to rinse it off.  Got it nice and wet and took a paper towel and wiped the sides , top, etc.  Then I thought, what the heck, the paper towel was all wet and full of Tide, just clean the sink Jim.  Wow, can't...

I have a small Duracraft window fan that I bought in 1999.  It's nothing fantastic, all plastic, but electrically reversible and fits in my kitchen window perfectly. I decided to clean it yesterday and spent quite some time making it look almost new. I thought I was really careful with the...

Been doing a lot of baking the past few days and this little guy has been helping me out, as he has since , I think, 1986?. Someone correct me if I'm wrong

I don't think the pictures match the list of features on today's pic of the day, anyone else notice this?  To me,  and correct me if I'm wrong,  the pic of model 6703400 is more feature laden but if you follow that down to the description it doesn't show that.  But if you look at the pic for...

I was just visiting my family in the Detroit suburb of Allen Park last week where I grew up and helping to take care of my 88 year old "Mother Unit" who isn't doing very well. We've owned the house for 40 years and I guess I never really thought to much of it but there's alot of retro things...

Not sure if this popped up here, but I saw this on a news feed on FB. Looks kind of interesting...lets see if it pans out to something. http://https//www.kickstarter.com/projects/kurt/noria-cool-redefined

My name is Jim and I'm a fabric softener user.  There I said it.😁   Nothing crazy, but I use a little with each load, except on towels. Usually use Downey but we had a coupon for snuggle and it was on sale so what the heck.  My partner did sheets  yesterday, and may have put to much in I don't...

I recently catered an event for the Sisters of Christian Charity in Mendham, NJ ( NO... the walls did not bleed when I walked in!) It was a really cool old fashioned "nunnery". The kitchen we used had a really neat Westinghouse stove, but what was even more fascinating was the giant hall we...

I just stumbled across the first episode of the TPR from 1972 with all the original commercials too. Lots of appliances, cars and the commercials are fun for tupperware and Ann Blythe for Hostess. http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=eX35wivlucE

I was just reading the specs on todays pic of the day and am wondering how the washer managed to spin at 900rpms and not roll itself out the door? Did the wheels lock?

I found today's POD interesting. I've never heard of 5 of the brands listed. "One Minute", "Barton", "Marquette", "Zenith", and "Ambassador" Who has some info on these and has anyone seen one or even have one? Curious minds just like to know things like this

We picked up our new (to us) car last night, a 2000 Mercury Sable LS Premium, such a cream puff. 112K miles and in really very good condition. Knock on wood it stays that way. Its mostly for local running around and for the partner to get to work etc. But what I'm sad about is seeing his Ford...

Since it will be years before I can gut the kitchen and start all over and I couldn't stand looking at it another minute, I've spent the last 2 months or so doing an update on a budget. Total spent was $500, but $300 of that was the floor and that was paid for by a gift card for switching back...
