Lordy, lordy...I've fallen into Alice's Rabbit Hole..
Comments (11)Oops, another when fell down the hole into WS heaven. Just wait till you see the seedlings in the spring. Then you will think you died and went to plant seedling heaven, OR, you are dreaming and can't believe what you see, OR, you will fall over backwards on the ground, look up at the sky and have that huge, huge grin on your face like the Chesire cat. Then you realize that you have to plant all those seedlings and you are up and running to get them in. Have fun and welcome to the wonderful, crazy, wacky world of WS. The best addiction one can have. Don't forget the seed exchange forum too. You will need tons and tons of seeds to feed your WS addiction. Ooops, now you will have 2 addictions to deal with.

Comments (8)Paul, that whole conversation would be good for the humor thread, IMHO.. Ken is right, somebody got rid of their unwanted materials. Much like when I moved here, they'd had pitbulls fenced in the back, and I found old car batteries and window a/c units filling in the holes the dogs dug....plus the 1/4" stainless steel CHAIN they were restrained with. Mobile may be short on some things, but its trash pickup service is the best....26 times a year up to 9 cu yards each time. We tested the limits that first year, and I played the "little old lady" card with the trash crew a few times....but it all went away eventually....See MoreAlice in the Rabbit Hole
Comments (36)I read a design book about this topic recently (I don't remember the name). It was about the psychology of design and contained no photos. It said that there are two competing desires in our genes. One is for expansive spaces reflecting our need to explore and roam. The second is for smaller spaces reflecting the caves and protections our ancestors craved. The perfect space combines both. For example, our living room has 8-foot ceilings and isn't too large, but all the windows have expansive views down the valley. You get the feeling of space, but are in a protective environment. We have lived in all sorts of houses-- a 1927 Tudor, a 1990 cookie-cutter vaulted builder special, townhouses, apartments, a 1885 Victorian with 14-foot ceilings--but this modest 1970s ranch with three quirky add-ons is our favorite. No one else has one like it, people comment on how warm it is, and nothing beats an amazing view. Our Victoria house was stunning but always cold....See MoreBest Laundry Powder - it’s a rabbit hole!
Comments (71)John, I used steam a couple of times and it faded my clothes so I did not look into it further. I noticed that during the Allergiene cycle the steam is used in the begiging of the cycle with very little water before the clothes are actually washed. It raises the temp very high for 20 min and then fills with lower temp water for the actual wash. When I have a load of whites I will run a steam wash and monitor to see how it works in other cycles and report back. However I do not think it is a sub for a true hot wash for whites and it is too high a temp for darks. I read in this forum that for darks some people like the perm press cycle since it has more water and the temps are a bit better than normal. For my whites I used to do the whites cycle but it is not hot enough and now I am switching to xhot or sanitary washes. Still experimenting. I am still learing what cycles work well. My normal right now (winter) is consistently at 28C....See MoreUser
