Once upon a time I asked for help fining replacement G.E. Hotpoint oven knobs and someone directed me to a site that specialized in replacement parts. I thought I had bookmarked the site; yet now I can't find my bookmark.

Can someone please remind me of where that site was, Please. l.marie

Dear, sweet Lizalily... I, too, am counting the days with you... and will be there with you in spirit as you go through this painful process of knee replacement... you truly do have the faith and the upbeat spirit to get through this, and I believe you will overcome this little obstacle and be back in the garden in no time! As always, I'm keeping you in my prayers... I don't know how you and Cindee manage... I'm such a huge baby, and I'm not sure I could deal with the pain without my normal doses of pain meds. I abandoned Celebrex years ago in favor of something much stronger that actually takes the pain level down to the point where I can get out of bed and move through the days... and sleep through the nights. Some days are worse than others, but I think the accident definitely shifted my Lupus into a higher gear... I can certainly relate to unfolding after a long car ride! Our doctor is in Chicago, which is a 3 1/2 hour drive, one way! I'm thankful we only have to go once every three months! It's an all day adventure, and at the end of the ride, I'm stiff as a board! Lizalily, I hope you and your partner have a wonderful time tomorrow for your last big fling before surgery! It sounds like you have a great day planned! Cindee, I think Lizalily is right... you'll be much better when it's all said and done, and both legs and hips match length-wise... you have way too much enthusiasm for life to let this get you down! I see you as having this wonderfully fun-loving, bubbly personality... and I hate to see you down in the dumps. :-( Both of you should be happy, and thankful, that your problems will soon be distant memories! You both are good friends and wonderful people, and you deserve to be happy and live life without pain! I'm pulling for both of you, and I know everything will work out just the way it's supposed to! You'll both be running circles around your gardens in no time flat! I'm in the process of taking lots of flower pictures to share during recuperation time, and I hope I can at least put a smile on your face, Lizalily... and for you, Cindee, there will be lots of garden pictures, and hopefully photos of my new bulb garden in full bloom! My best to both of you... I have faith that all will be well... Hugs!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I did it with newspaper first and lots of it and in no time the weeds were coming right through it. I think it's not thick enough and breaks down to fast to smother the weeds. Cardboard has been the best by far and overlap the edges a little. I think it takes longer to break down and in the mean time it seems to kill the weeds/grass from coming back through then by the time it has broken down bye bye weeds and grass. HOwever it is still not fool proof, as the wind will blow some seeds into the new beds but that is way more manageable then dealing with that and existing weeds/grass in the beds. Also a good idea in mho is to add a layer of topsoil over the cardboard then add your mulch. The cardboard thing works best if you are doing it around shrubs/trees/roses because the cardboard is stiff and it is hard to work it around delicate flowers. If you want to do the cardboard for flowers then I suggest you do it before you add flowers and build the soil in layers on top of the carboard if your soil is bad or just a enough and wait a few months till the cardboard breaks down if you have good soil and then plant and mulch. I have the same problem with my neighbor actually both sides of me they don't do anything to control the weeds and battle to keep them out of my yard. So far the cardboard is really helping. ~Meghan

Paradise Joyce - reminds me of June but want one

Yup... just the opposite of viridescent... starts out all green for me, no hint of markings... then the center goes light green, chartreuse, yellow... and the one in more light actually goes pretty close to white. Years ago we rented a car in Paris and visited Normandy, then went through Belgium, dropping in on Danny van Eechaute, then on to Holland. We went looking for Paradiseweg... I believe that is "Paradise Way" - the road Marco Fransen's nursery is located on. We found the place and started wandering around. I couldn't get over fields of hostas growing in lines in full sun. Holland is so far north that the sun isn't as strong as a lot of us deal with. Having heard Marco Fransen's name so often and knowing what a force in he'd become in the hosta world, we were expecting an old grizzled hosta veteran. Instead we found a neat little farm and a huge shaded hoophouse being looked over by a youngish blonde woman. At first we thought she was a teenager, but when she got closer we realized she had to be in her 30s. We took lots of pictures. A lot of plants were potted up... including some massive 30 gallon pots of hostas they use for the big European plant shows. We must have seemes suspicious and eventually she came up to check on us. We explained we were Americans and couldn't bring any plants back with us, but we wanted to see the famous Paradise Hosta farm. Her English wasn't very strong, so she went and got a big Dutchman... way over 6' and a build that suggested he could lift a cow. We chatted for a while - and found out this was Marco himself. Young guy... and the blonde was none other than his wife Joyce - already famous via Paradise Joyce, Marco's own selected sport from Halcyon. A great morning... two neat folks who didn't want their three boys growing up in the city, so they built up a farm - and now I'd have to say Marco is a pivotal figure in the hosta world. Nice, humble, funny... hosta people are pretty great!

They would be called Flex Vent or Rotolock Shoes and are handed so a window would have a Right and a Left shoe. Check with an Andersen distributor locally they would be able to order based on the description if they are available individually. Due to the age of the units you may need to purchase the entire operator mechanism to get these parts as they may no longer be available by themselves.

Why don't you just look in your yellow pages and go to the local appliance parts store? you'll save shipping costs, but more importantly, you won't have to wait for them. We always just pop in there when we need something--so much easier and faster, and they often volunteer very helpful advice (when you're replacing something complicated).

Even if they don't carry the ones you need, if you get them to order them for you, you'll still save shipping costs, and they'll probably arrive just about as fast.

Brick and mortar stores are carrying less and less of the fringe parts. It ties up their inventory dollars on items they may only sell once a year, if that.

I found Repairclinic on this board after contacting several appliance stores for a replacement part for the screw on cap in the dishwasher door for liquid Jetdry. No one carried it. Most of them didn't even want to bother with special ordering such a small part for a 10 year old machine - and if they did I have no doubt they would have passed on their shipping and handling costs.

Repairclinic not only had it, but it was shipped immediately and the entire transaction was delightful. Since then I've used them for a few other items, and each time the transaction was fast and reliable.

Love these guys.

It's not only just the fringe parts being available that seem to be of the past, but just parts and service in general depending on where you live.

Years back, we had Sears, three furniture stores, and a hardware/appliance store locally at which to buy appliances, parts, call for service. Four of the five had their own full time service department and service man on payroll.

Now we're down to Sears (who no longer has an employed service department in this community, it's all contract and they come from Olympia, 55 miles away), and Home Depot. Two choices within 55 miles for appliances or their service.

Repairclinic has 'saved' me more than once ;)

... sure comes true, around here.

And often provides useful information for many of the rest of us in addition to the original asker, as well.

P.S. Do you mean to tell me that all of my contributions re archived, as well???

Then ... just how does one separate the forest from the trees?
