Hey Mikey

Just saw your last line. Yeah, the two-speed is great, esp., since you can wring at low speed which is excellent for a blanket or other bulkie in that you can gather the garment to help it through without rushing the way you must in the usual one-speed wringer like a Norge or a Maytag.

But what I REALLY want to know is-- our ACCENTS-- do we all sound they same to you or can you discern our various accents. We all have then, but most of us are in playful denial about them. What do you hear?

Been smelling soaps for years trying to find that magical sc

the closest match available is powdered HE Tide original scent. But I use powdered Tide with Bleach for whites. Last week I bought the new ketchup squirter bottle of All 3x concentrate, haven't tried it yet ,

It was gyrafoam who said to go to "blowes" and get a can of Chrystal Clear Rustoleum to make a perfect glossy coal black agitator--multiple light coats, full dry in between.

sounds like it would work, to me! I got my fingers crossed!

For Jim "may63"

and any other AWORG brother or sister who knows where I could find the control dial seen in Jim's post and permanently A.W.O.L in this flick. Any help would be appreciated forever and renumerated outrageously.

Re: Buffalonians:

Hey guys I was also born in Buffalo and lived in the area for the first ten years of my life. We lived in Sardina and then moved to the Springville area and went to Griffith Institute and Central Schools until the fourth grade. Then we moved to California which I hated and wanted to move back to the Buffalo area, but we never did. Then we moved to Nebraska to North Platte area. Mickyed what accent,you don't have the accent. The ones with the accent are the people from down south. We didn't have relatives in Buffalo, but most of my relations were in Pennsylvania. Thanks for Listening Danf.

"How you doin' buddy?" lol I just watched the video once again and never tire of the sounds and views. I would love to find a visimatic like you have. I can remember seeing them sitting on the display floor of our local Sears store in the '60's. I just wanted to say hi and have a good time. Gary
