Hate my GE Harmony - don't want to make mistake again.
Comments (2)Check the Bravos models, be sure to get one with an onboard heater. I run most of my laundry on the bulky cycle because it uses the most water and sprays water over the load to saturate everything. I still save water over a non-HE model, but my clothes are clean. They only get really tangled (as you describe) if I have a really big load. I always use the second rinse and dump a detergent bottle of plain water on the load before starting a cycle. This makes the washer "think" there's a bigger load, so I get plenty of water to wash in. I might not be saving as much water as what some people feel is best, but my loads are truly clean and completely rinsed. No detergent residue for me. Good luck on your quest and let us know your decision....See Moreprimer after wallpaper removal--hate to ask this again :)
Comments (8)When I remove wallpaper, I have never been able to do it without gouging the drywall or tearing off some of the drywall cover paper. So I end up patching and skim coating, and that's where the oil based primer comes in. Here is how it was explained to me by the experts on Gardenweb. The mud used to skim coat and patch is water-based, and painting over it with a water based product will cause it to have a slightly different sheen than the non-skim coated wall. To eliminate this, you apply an oil based primer over the skim coat....See MoreTrying again...What do you think of this dog?
Comments (112)I got one of my babies from PetSmart back '98. i didn't go there to get a dog. tho they had a dog on a poster that I told myself would be my next dog. that day I went wasn't their normal adopt a pet day either. when i walked in they had 1 dog and several cats... that dog looked just like the dog on the poster. She was spayed and I got her for 40$. she was about 2 at the time. they said they usually required a person to have 6' fence, but since she could jump that they waived that requirement. And she couldn't go to a home with kids. I had none at home and no gkids in the state that would be coming to visit, so she came home with me and was my princess until she got her wings in 2013. Other than that I was willing to pay the $40.00, they knew nothing about me. I did go check out the no kill shelter that put her in PetSmart tho. It seemed like a nice place and they wanted her back if she didn't work out etc. But they never checked on her or my house/land. I often thought I should send them a card from her asking when they'd come to make sure she was safe and tell them she'd been waiting for them. No one ever checked on her, or contacted me to see if I still had her. She was fine with kids - my 6 yr old neighbor boy would come over to play catch with me and they got along fine. I still didn't allow him to come over unless I was home. I posted this just because I think sometimes those shelter places are just weird. they had a few requirements for adopting her, but had nothing to verify that I met those requirements, except my word. My baby was very blessed that it was me that walked in and then walked out with her. The girl I have now, was listed on CL. I had no idea people put pets on there. I was shocked. i worried that some weirdo would get her and hurt her in some way. Again, the people who had her, didn't know me or anything about me, except what I told them. She too, was one lucky little girl. I wasn't looking for another dog then either, but couldn't bear to think what could happen if the wrong person got her. My old girl was still with me then, and she took about all the energy I had at the time. penny - I'm sorry this didn't work out for you, and her. how sad. I would be glad to donate to a pet fund for her, if needed. Maybe you could call local rescues to see if anyone has her. Those 2 needed a good loving home, vet care and good food. It's heartbreaking to think they might have put them down....See MoreI think I hate my new dining room chairs ...
