That makes a lot of sense. I replaced the Bosch after 2 weeks (the odor was one of the reasons) and everything had been done correctly. And I tried all the fixes the Bosch help line told me. Got a Kitchenaid in its place and not once has that happened. I got so tired of folks saying that I must be doing something wrong. Nice to be validated like this. I don't understand why others don't have the same odor. But maybe they just don't notice it like I did.

Yeah- DW and (especially) ME don't really give much of a hoot about gas-mileage. Right or wrong, it's just not a deciding factor in our household. I have NOTHING against people who favor higher-mileage choices. I just literally can't fit in most fuel-sippers. 6'3" I am, with more torso-length. The farming background also kinda numbs you to gas-mileage! NOTHING gets good mileage on a farm LOL! DW is 5'7", & obviously just didn't like the hulking size of the Escalade. It was the longer-wheelbase one too...Uffda! If I was magically given 2 free car choices, you'd see a large BLACK Denali or Escalade, and a BLACK CTS-V (it's the Bat-out-of-Hell version...) in MY garage. Annie & Pesky- You're too gracious! Gotta love the "Boat" Lincoln's, & Silverado 4x4's!! Faron

When I was a teenager we had a Mina bird named Gus who had quite a vocabulary and was able to imitate voices and accents. One day when no one was home my boyfriend and I were "making out" in the living room when Gus made the sound of the backdoor opening and my mother's voice say " What are you doing?" You never saw two people get on other sides of the room so fast. Gus just laughed and laughed.
