I recently changed.... ......all the the CFL and incandescent bulbs in my house to LED and I'm very happy with them. I bought mostly FEIT brand at Costco both 60 watt equivalent and 100 watt - both with 5 position color temperature selector. I set them all on the warmest setting with the...

And Fred Waring..... .....spelled "blender" as "blendor"! Waring Blendor. (TM)

My official "laundry day"..... .....is every Saturday!

One week.... ....works for me because I am NOT working.

I watched it and.... .....sent it to a friend of mine who grew up in Newton and who's dad worked for Maytag. I told him that I thought I saw him on the merry-go round! I love those "Industry on Parade" films!

Irish Spring.... ....is my favorite shower soap. I have a lifetime supply of it thanks to Costco!

I've been eating "expired"..... .....foods for years and it hasn't harmed me yet. "Best by" dates just mean that the texture or taste MAY not be quite as good as new but it's still edible. We have a food bank at my church and they will not allow "expired" foods to be donated "for the health...

Pasteurizes the clothes.... .....in "only" two hours!

I remember our 1969..... ......Frigidaire Imperial dishwasher (pushbutton cycle selection and cycle indicator lights) having a metal "orbit arm". It looked like a smaller version of the main wash arm. I guess that is some kind of Frigidaire "feature" they have kept (or resurrected).

Yes... .....I always use heated dry on my 1994 Maytag. I also always use temperature boost and sani-rinse. This Maytag does have a blower but the heat comes from the element in the bottom of the tub.

They missed painting the wood..... .....ceiling of the porch and under the kitchen wall cabinets. Natural wood colors are SO dated. Black, grey, white - I think that look is here to stay for the foreseeable future. My house has every room a different color - including the carpet. I love it!

I remember machines like those..... .....in 1965 in a London, England launderette. They were that same blue color. After washing, clothes were moved to the BOCK centrifugal extractor, then to the dryer. Fun times!

I tried watching..... .....this guy's YouTube channel two or three times but his lack of knowledge about "old" things and limited vocabulary turned me off. I saw this video come up on my "you may want to watch" list but skipped it for that reason. It would be nice just to get a walk through of...

I really love the style.... .....of this 1970's house! The house I currently own had foil wallpaper in the entry foyer (blue and silver). The house my parents had built in 1969 had "wood" (styrofoam) beams on the family room ceiling. Also the dark woodwork (doors, trim, etc.). I'm sure someone...

Lint Storage I had to laugh at "Lint Storage" on the lint screen lid. For many people, it IS lint storage because they never clean the lint screen! Nice dryer!

I've been considering..... ....the FF7 (and matching dryer) to replace my 1987 Kenmore Limited Edition Electronic pair but $5000 for a washer and dryer - YIKES! I can see the washer costing a lot due to the complexity but for Speed Queen to charge the same price for the dryer seems like highway...

Vinyl Floor Care.... .....for kitchen and bathrooms; Vacuum Mop with Pine Sol and hot water using an O'Cedar spin mop Dry with an old bath towel

The round bed..... .....with the round mirror hanging over it - reminded me of Sue Ann Nivens (Betty White) on the Mary Tyler Moore Show. I think she had a similarly "racey" bedroom! I have dark brown carpet on my stairs and upstairs hallway. Hey - it doesn't show the dirt! (I also have gray...

No water today but OIL I did three loads of laundry this morning. I put this piece of cardboard under the washer before starting the first load so I could see where the water was leaking from. Instead of water, I find oil. I don't think that's a good sign and it seems like quite a lot for only...

The Green Bedroom Furniture..... .....reminds me of the set my parents had. Purchased in 1969 from Montgomery Ward for the new house they had built. I recently sold the entire set for $100 as I was unable to donate it. Seems Habitat and other charities didn't want it as it was "too old" (or...
