Kucht gas range?
Comments (74)Sharon - thank you so much for posting about your Blue Star range. It's gorgeous! I made the HUGE mistake about 5 years ago of purchasing a Hypotheory cooktop. Terrible craftsmanship, made in China. The company started by creating a fiction about how these stoves were Italian made and lying about how they were members of the National Kitchen and Bath Association. Then they reneged on their warranty (offered by New Leaf, but I didn't find that out until the warranty had expired) and then they just closed up shop. I suspect they are doing business now as a company named Cosmo, so others beware. Which leads me to now, where I am looking to buy a new cook top or range to replace the Hypotheory which is literally falling apart. Lesson learned - I won't be buying ANYTHING off brand. Even if there are good reviews, because these companies pay people to write good reviews or write them themselves. I am really leaning towards a Blue Star. I, like you, live in the country and am looking for a workhorse. I don't need the bells and whistles....See Morebatism gift
Comments (4)A bible or cross are nice if you want something that reflects the religious significance. If not, how about a 2001 Silver Eagle coin or a set of proof coins for 2001--either would be a special keepsake to commemorate the year of his birth and baptism and could also be the start of a lovely collection that you could add to over the years--and might get him started in the hobby of coin collecting.

Comments (26)I ordered 2 Mondrian prints, each was supposed to be framed in a Metropolitan frame. One came in the correct frame and the other didn't, even though the packing slip said it was. Short version is, I had to provide a picture of the print in the wrong frame and tell them whether I wanted a replacement or refund. I chose a replacement since they were to be a grouping (and the red trim in the frame complemented the colors in the prints so well), and then got an email saying that they were out of stock on "certain components of the item" and couldn't guarantee shipment for another week, and to let them know whether I wanted to wait or cancel. I chose to wait. We'll see what happens next. My advice is, if you're ordering multiple items, don't assume they'll all be what you want, or that you'll get a replacement very soon when they aren't....See MoreCreative ideas needed
Comments (15)The sentimental value of the dress seems to be your friend's, not necessarily her daughter's. She seems to be finding a reason NOT to cut it up even though she says she wants to. Personally I think placing sentimental value on some thing for future generations is just putting a burden on them. How many of us have something socked away that we don't like,have absolutely no use for but hang on to because a previous generation harped on how lovely,valuable,sentimental it was? That stuff is pounded into us from childhood and then we end up being guilt tripped into accepting and hanging onto the item. Then it gets passed on until someone finally has the guts to get rid of it. It's a dress. It's just fabric. The only one it really truly meant something to was the one who wore it. If your friend likes it so much then maybe she should make something for herself out of it. The grands won't care. I'm assuming Great Grandma is no longer with us. If that's the case the grands will never have even known this stranger who left them this this piece of cloth they're supposed to cherish....See More- 8 years ago
