I'm Hoping.... ....That you're making all sorts of wonderful progress, Fred! Look forward to seeing more when it happens.

Sadly.... ....Souse seems not to be available here in Iowa. At least I've never seen any for sale.

I Never.... ....Was able to make my peace with liver mush, though my late partner was from Hendersonville. When we'd go up there, one family member or another would put liver mush in front of us, to Wilson's enormous pleasure. I could get through it out of politeness, but didn't ever really...

I Have.... ....Very little in my house that was made after 1975. Everything in my house is much heavier, much better-built and more satisfying to own than today's cheap tat. I rarely have anything wear out or even break down. To add insult to injury, most people I know buy their new...

Here's an Article.... ....I wrote a few years ago, about this very thing: " Everybody today has a vision of what the Mid-Century years were like. Our nostalgic view says that everyone then had sleek steel-and-glass houses, George Nelson furniture, and tail-finned convertibles with two-toned...

Detergent's Not the Problem. The problem is that deodorants and anti-perspirants contain an ingredient called stearate, which is a fatty, waxy substance that repels water. Rub some of your antiperspirant onto your hand sometime, and then hold that hand under running water. You will see that...

Best Paint Job.... ....Since Helen Lawson's last visit to Merle Norman! Seriously, it looks great.

Hans: "....many of those old folks were incredible." Yes, they were, and it was because of what you noted: Many of them got thrown into the deep end of the pool at a very early age. It was sink or swim for their generation. Now, kids keep going back to their parents, who keep letting them...

No MAKEUP STOOL???? Horrors! What will Helen Lawson twirl on now? Don't answer that! ;-)

Great Progress! I really admire the speed and efficiency with which Jerry does things. I'm more accustomed to a DIY pace, which is, shall we say, a bit more leisurely? It looks great - I can't wait to see the shower enclosure go up. Thanks for the photos! P.S.: I'm also very curious about...

I Give Up: I've made three attempts at contact over the past 36 hours, with no response. I wish you the best with selling these machines.

Paging Kevin....Paging Kevin.... Kevin: I've been trying to reach you at your .edu email address, and have not heard back. I am interested in one of the machines shown, and would like to discuss it with you. Could you contact me at [email protected] ? I am not an upgraded member on this...

Kevin: Check your .edu email. Sandy

Hans: I know exactly what you mean. I grew up in a house that sat on an acre - about half an acre in front and the same in back. As soon as my little brother and I were old enough to push a mower, we got stuck with yard duty. Half an acre is a lot when you're eleven years old, and the...

Shudder! Don't you know that a riding mower is God's way of telling you you have too much grass? ;-)

Sounds Reasonable to Me! "Jerry was worried about the drain being able to handle the water from all those shower heads." Well, we all know what can happen....

Definitely a C-4: I missed the flat-top bag door; that nails Tom's identification of the machine. SEVEN BUCKS? You will have to pay more than that to replace a bristle strip on one of the tools, LOL. You did very well indeed!

P.S.: It's pretty sure Tom is right, and that's a C-4, but I was hedging my bets because of that wand in the way. Whatever it is, you did well.

Well.... It looks like the photo leaves a little room for doubt; I think there's a chance it could also be a C-5, manufactured from around 1961 to around 1970. The big visible difference in a C-4 and a C-5 is that a C-5 has three casters - one swivel caster at the front and two stationary ones...

Be Sure.... ....You pick a really nice shower drain grate! You don't have to settle for a utilitarian grid any more: http://www.ebbesquaredrains.com/designer-drain-grates/cat_7.html
