I thought my clothes would be de-dirtified & wrapped in cellophane.

re machines
i have made loaves from hand, and i do believe they are better. but you cannot beat the ease of the bread machine! Its almost sinful :) (add liquids, add flour, butter/salt/yeast/etc and turn on) I work full time and was given one as a gift, an Oster. Love it :) if you want to shape loves and bake them the oven, it has a setting to just mix the dough too. It has a number of different settings. and yes, you can add all your own ingredients. I tried a few ready-mixes and don't like them. I was also given a fabulous bread book. it has everything you could ever want to know i think and the best mouth-watering pictures! (e/m me if you want the name). If you want homemade but quick and easy, do try a good bread machine. but i am also going to try NYMTs recipe -- sounds good too!
Never could get the bread machines
to work really well using fresh ingredients, the boxed mixes worked good but are more expensive than a loaf of bread. I have a few recipes for the oven that turn out great though.
Questions re: Massage machines
Hi,
Looking to buy a massager for my feet mostly, but would like to use on other body parts as well--those MT hands and fingers and elbows and...on and on, and so a versatile massager would be great.
Was considering buying one of those little tripod jobs as a first time test, but they're $10 and it seemed foolish to drop that amount of money when I could get a serious one for 1-1/2 to 2x the price on eBay, etc.
I've been checking eBay, Amazon, Overstock, etc. In general, the customer reviews for Dr. Scholl's is a big, fat NO as regards a variety of that company's models, so I'm not interested and have taken them permanently off my search list.
--Otherwise, anyone have any suggestions on model/brand, etc.? I've seen on line several Pollenex and Sharper Image products that got good reviews and look like they're worth buying.
--Can anyone fill me in on the infrared massagers and what's so wonderful about them?
--Also, I have a sleep disorder; has anyone heard of a massager used near the head and/or neck causing neurologic interference or sleep problems due to the vibrations, electrical pulses?
(Once I saw an acupuncturist who used a machine with pads and electrodes that were applied to my head area--against my better judgement I allowed it. I should have told him noooo freakin' way, but foolishly didn't. My sleep was severely disturbed for several days despite my medication which is extremely effective.
Thanks a bunch.
Have Braille on Drive Up Teller Machines?
I'm very near sighted so don't go smacking me around for being insensitive to the needs of those "less fortunate." I just think this is a funny thing, that's all!
Sewing machines make me crazy...sm
I had my mom's old machine. I kept it for a few years because I would make my son's costumes at Halloween and things. Well it was such a pain in the a** I told my mom a few months ago she could take the thing back. I would have problems getting the dang thing started. Or either be sewing along and realize it wasn't actually sewing. It never went smoothly and it fustrated me. So I said enough of this.
I used the tub from my old washing
machine for a flower planter in my yard. It has good drainage!!
New Washing Machine
A gentleman that I took care of/helped for a while (because of MS and being somewhat immobilized) had a Maytag, which was a top loader, but had all the computerized bells and whistles on it and I was amazed at the amount of water that was extracted after the spin cycle was completed -- it took HALF the time for the clothes to dry because of that, but another suggestion that I would make is checking out Consumer Reports and just do an internet search as well to see what the top rate machines might be -- no sense in "going inexpensive" only to have to replace in 2-3 years :)
Need a new washing machine...any suggestions? sm
Either a regular top loader or one of those front loaders I am looking for but nothing over $700. All opinions welcome!
Does it really matter which washing detergent you use? sm
i normally buy the cheapest washing detergent. but it seems like my whites get really dingy. lately i've been using washing detergent, color safe bleach. i also use liquid fab. softener. is it really worth paying more for washing detergent? just wondered what you all do.
thanks
Wear your clothes more than once before washing or
I wear jeans, khakis, and dress shirts at least 2 or 3 times before I wash them. They key with dress shirts is wearing an undershirt. Some of you may think it’s gross, but your clothes will not fade as quickly and you’ll spend less on detergent and dry-cleaning bills.
Borax washing powder is not dangerous.....
Borax sold in the supermarkets for laundry washing and other uses is not poisonous to the public. However, REAL boric acid is......just be careful with it.......that's all.....regarding pets and people.......
Yes, but is that a valid reason for not washing your hands after you
Maybe you were just making a statement and if that's all it was, please excuse the question. Personally, I use the papertowel that I dried with and open the bathroom door when I leave. I also keep hand sanitizing gel with me at all times.
Question about NOT washing your hair everyday...
I've heard this many times...That you're better off not to wash your hair everyday--Dr. Oz was on Oprah yesterday and said the same thing. He meantioned something about you are stripping your hair of good oil etc et.
I know some people can to a day or two without washing their hair--I HAVE to shower and wash my hair in the MORNING everyday---
But in regards to "shampooing" everyday--Would you be doing your hair good by not using shampoo everyday? For example I used shampoo and conditioner yesterday and this morning when I took a shower I got my hair wet but didnt use shampoo--just some conditioner.
What do you think?
And what about that commercial with Jessica Simpson washing the car
in her teeny bikini. That was for hamburgers too.
I have also heard that washing with dog/cat flea shampoo kills them although I have never tried it.
;
I have told people starting to leave the restroom without washing
"Oh, wait, ma'am, there's soap in THIS dispenser." as if she might have thought ANOTHER dispenser was empty. Just about gets em everytime. They'll begrudgingly come to the sink and wash their hands and I play it off like it's nothing. Sometime, I'll say, "Don't you wish they would fill the soap dispensers more often?"
Does anyone notice you seem to lose more hair with washing and blowing dry than just brushing other
days.
