I've been in the market for a descent sewing machine. Nothing really fancy, just something to do some mending and maybe make a drape or two. My mother surprised me today with her old Singer. She bought it new in (she thinks) 1962. Had it gone over and it is in perfect working order, and has...

My dream pair!!!!!!!! That one is getting printed and hung in my laundry room!

Cheer me at 60, 10 pounds from my 70 goal. Pics coming, I'm so proud of myself. Seems living life as my truth suits me.

I think my wireless router is going out. It's a G-band Motorola, I've had it a long time, don't remember how long. I have to reset it almost daily, sometimes twice a day. Is there something else I should check, or just replace it? If I need to replace it, can anyone recommend a good...

Bought my first Crock Pot today, looking for recipes.

Can you wash in gentle some things that say dry clean only? I heard this, but never done it. I have a queen comforter that needs cleaning. It's $50 to get it done. I have a big front load with a gentle/hand wash option. Opinion?

I didn't know Speed Queen ever made a combo. What year is that?

I got a pair of Samsung 220's, They didn't look this big in the store, but I love them!

I don't do anything without consulting this group first...... My 17 year old Kenmore dryer died. I bought a used DD Whirlpool matching set off Craigslist, and after six weeks, that dryer has died. I could fix it, but with all the irons I have in the fire my wife and I have decided to buy a...

Good News - I have mentioned my unemployment here a couple of times. I found a job with a pay increase from my previous job. Bad News - 24 Hours after accepting the job offer, we found out that my wife has breast cancer, we are meeting with the surgeon today. Prayer Request - Thanksgiving for...

I suspect that the timer has gone out in my 1992 Kenmore dryer. The model number is 110.96282100. I looked it up and it looks like it just plugs in, is it that easy to change? I found a dryer on Craigslist that matches my Calypso washer for $300, but that sounds kind of steep, what are ya'lls...

I know I'm dealing with dated technology, but I ask this group every time I have a question about anything. Here's what I have. In my family room, I have a 32" CRT TV, and a nine year old G4 dual processor tower Mac running 10.4.11. I love watching shows on Hulu, but I would rather watch...

I have been unemployed for a while now and I'm about to start selling off some of my toys. I have five vintage Western Electric "Design Line" phones. They are: 1. Brown Sculptura (Donut) Push Button 2. Brown Scupltura (Donut) Rotary Dial 3. Antique Gold Rotary Dial 4. Mediterranean Rotary Dial...

This would be funny if it didn't hit so close to home.

I was in Home Depot and saw an Amana Front loaded. It was under $600 and looked like a decent BOL Machine. Opinions?

After a really bad day (like today), when I'm stressed. I load the dishwasher after dinner like normal, but i don't start it. I wait till everyone is in bed and the house is quiet, and then I start the dishwasher and sit in the wing back chair in the living room and listen to it run. I find that...

The prize list of washers includes one called Barton. I have never heard of that one. Any info? I would choose the Kelvinator :-).

I always consult this group before buying anything. I am not a fan of canister vacuums, I tend to get tangled up in them. I love my Kirby for vacuuming, but I need the hose for stairs and up high. The Kirby "canister mode" works great, but is a pain to deal with. I may have an opportunity to...

For the experts out there...... The "Power Surge" Bendix in today's POD looks very Calypso-like. Is the action similar?

For those of you who practice, what are you doing for your Lenton observance? I'm going to attempt to quit smoking, but I'm waiting till this weekend to start.
