DD - 603SS vs 605SS and finish questions
Comments (2)Based on the available cycle choices and descriptions, the 605 model does *not* appear to have a soil sensor. They're the same cycles and sequences as all the models have always featured. The silverware basket is redesigned, the 605 series apparently uses slightly less water, does not have the extended dry option, and some of the target temperatures are a little higher than my 4-year-old 603. Newer 603s also may have different temperatures. Cycle temperatures have occasionally changed slightly within a particular model series. The product description mentions "triple flood protection," which I don't recall seeing that before .. but does not provide further details on what are the three guard methods....See MoreQuestion on difference between SS finish and satin nickel
Comments (7)Those finishes look about right as examples of brushed stainless steel and brushed nickel. You can combine both finishes in your kitchen. How you go about it just has to make sense. The stainless steel does look a little more contemporary, because it has a slight blue undertone. The brushed nickel is warmer. My brushed stainless steel faucet Brizo Floriano shows no finger prints, but my brushed stainless steel appliances show everything. Go figure. My brushed nickel knobs show no prints, either. I used brushed nickel cabinet hardware, because it worked better with the warm tones of the maple cabinets yet still related to the grey of the stainless steel. The selection is greater for cabinet hardware and faucets with brushed nickel finish than for brushed or shiny stainless steel finish. My advice, wait until everything else is done in your kitchen, and then make your final decision on your cabinet hardware. Take home several styles and finishes. The hardware is the final touch that brings everything together. Like jewelry. Sometimes you can go with more, sometimes less; but in the end it has to look right!...See MoreVacation question- going by myself to bring SS's or not
Comments (21)I was going to agree that you don't have to take the stepchildren with you on vacation, however, when I read that they live with you full time I changed my mind! I can see spending one-on-one time with the children individually, but I can't see taking only your children on vacation when you are the de facto mother to them (given the fact they only see their mother every other Friday and she returns them on Saturday - which is almost the same situation that I have). I would be okay with telling the older boys that they most likely wouldn't enjoy Disney and just taking the younger three, however, I would probably make an effort to do something special with the older two (not necessarily costly, just something special to them). I think segregating them by age given the nature of the vacation would be okay, but segregating them as "you're not mine" would be hurtful since you ARE their full time mom (even though you may not always feel like it!!!). I think my stepdaughters would be very hurt knowing I was excluding them just because I didn't give birth to them. Did that make any sense?...See MoreQuestion about traveling/SS/internationally
Comments (16)lovehadley, I once traveled back from the Caribbean with DS then 5 and my 1st cousin's son also 5 after a similar family gathering. We were dropping him off in NY for his parents (he traveled down with his aunt/mom's sis and flew back with us) and then we went on to LA. Cousin got the proper forms, very much like kkny's, from the airline directly, in this case American. She picked it up from one of their sales offices. As mentioned above, no one asked for the document on either trip, just the passports(we also had copies of the birth certificate, pre-school IDs - loaded for bear This is becase on an earlier trip another cousin did NOT have her kids passports, they left the US ok but couldn't come back. She had to scramble, fly to the counsulate high drama) so now better safe than sorry. Immigration only asked what were the relationships and looked at the passports. I heard the airlines will e-mail the forms to you now if you have purchased tickets. I don't remember them being notarized, not to say they weren't, but is probably a good idea....See Moregirlnamedgalez8a
