While I was taking a nap:
I dreamed I was using all these heat lamps, space heaters, and bare light bulbs and a neon sculpture & perhaps a real bug zapper to rid a closet of all these bugs, when my daughter woke me...
And last month, I dreamed I was trying too sneak into the shower at my dad's house, when he was washing his hands at the bathroom sink on a CELL PHONE (my sister got him subscribed to a Trac Phone, that he'd never used, let alone, let it be the only phone in the house, refusing to replace his obsolete land-line he still uses; the only phone there is in my sister's old bedroom on the floor) so he actually gabbing on it & even saw the empty holster for it on his belt, though I wonder how I got a front view of him at the sink, as if I were on the other side of the mirror, when my wife woke me... Naturally, the daughter waking me was OK, it didn't interrupt anything, as that dream seemed finished, but my wife WASN'T, as that dream wasn't done & she had NO reason to wake me & to get me up for what she did...! (Kind'a yelled at her for disturbing & breaking up my dream, too) -- Dave | ||

Wow, Joe, you're about the same age as me. I've only been shaving for 46 years - you started early. I have 3 nephews, and neither of the older 2 shaved until they were 19. The youngest (different father) started when he was 12! | ||

I dreamed the Washing Machine Police were going to take my Top-Load Kenmore & make me replace it with one of those new Sh-Boom, Sh-Boom front loaders, amidst my protest that it wouldn't hold what my top-loader holds, and the repairman was even over convincing me I couldn't get any parts for her either (though somehow the dryer was OK) and this was all due to water inefficiency & the need for water conversation...,--Yadda, yadda, yadda--all while I think Side 2 of this: was playing (which I somehow always seem to fall asleep during)...

Yes, I got the Pierre Lalonde for the arrangements by Ben McPeek (staring another angle of record & CD collecting w/ artists/groups he'd worked on & even his own albums) more than just The Guess Who "These Eyes"...
Here's Side 1, not nearly as enticing: While I remember "on borrowed time" being in a sentence probably referring that washer & dryer "they were coming to take away", maybe during "Canterbury Station" originally done by a West Coast artist, Deane Hawley on a '45'... (No vid, & somehow may never for me be that actual item; arranged by Jimmie Haskell, as was the B-Side & another single, circa. '69-'70...) -- Dave CLICK HERE TO GO TO DaveAMKrayoGuy's LINK | ||

"The windows are illuminated by the evening, sun shines through them, their fiery gems, for you, only for you...", sings Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, on "Our House", and I seemed to first hear it when it came out many years ago at MY house, though the closest thing to this going on there, relating to the song, was construction going on in the street and those round, orange blinkers on those wooden road blockers coming on as the day turned to night... Well, maybe some candles, as opposed to a fire in a fireplace, reflecting on the windows...
And did anyone else hear the last "I'll light the fire..." at the end of the song suddenly interrupted by a news broadcast on 630 AM CFCO? (Helen Reddy covered this song, the, too!) -- Dave CLICK HERE TO GO TO DaveAMKrayoGuy's LINK | ||

"What is the color, the black is burnt?" asks Neil Young on this song, though to me he didn't enunciate himself well asking "What is the color of air?", until I listened to it well, years later, and you know what? Back then, I think I asked my parents what color Air was...

Okay, "What is the color when black is BURNED?", is what's asked...
Middle School Music: The slogging rhythm and draggy tempo made me quickly change the radio station on this:
Although at a dress shop (Downtown Ferndale's Dress Barn--now the Found Sound record store) I couldn't escape it playing, nor Dusty Springfield's "Wishin' & Hopin' (You Will Be His)"and The Temptations' "My Girl" coming on before & after it, respectively...
And along with the Moog synthesizer fills (a Squarewave was about as hard to "surf" as a real one, coming from a group, who'd started off as Beach Boys competitors in The Crossfires before becoming The Turtles) and seeing the lyrics to Happy Together in a Song Hits magazine & an Alan Gordon and Gary Bonner that it was written by, and credited with an "as recorded by The Turtles: surely made me literally believe that this was a Cartoon group, before such became Ninjas, though I surely never actually watched, but seeing 1966 obviously in a Flintstones-dominated world, would just have deemed it an also-ran before my time...
But anyway, leave it to me to hear it on an AM transistor radio on my way down the basement stairs (& the further down I walked, the ore the horns & chimes at the end got cracked up, as did the "Oooohhhh" sung at the end) to get THAT recognized introduction to it & everything about it to come together, right down to my dad pointing out to what I was listening to & who it was by--and also how that song is SUPPOSED to go & sound, as opposed to the namely-pamby nature I assumed it got sung as, and by anthropomorphic turtles...

Oh, shoot! Forgot what makes this AW-related:
Thought one of the lines was: “showed me how to SEW!”—yes, what I meant to put here... I also had the Hugo Montenegro version from MOOG POWER—the thing to do The Robot to... And got to hear The Byrds original, in it’s acoustically-“turn, turn, turn” true-form... Also just recently found out: “it’s not a trick at all” is really: “it’s not a TRIP at all...”, even though back then, I’m sure people did enough trippin’ that “trick” would be the right word, just get a break from what everyone was counterculturally doing, to give wa6 to “something else as bad”, that fit in either way... — Dave | ||

Is this man a VIP member of AW.ORG
I thought this was a somebody having a joke when I heard about this on the radio last week on BBC radio 5 live last Friday. He seems to echo the thoughts of members of this site. It appears the report may be true. Regards Nigel.

 Anything I have to say about the man in the video is best left to the Dirty Laundry forum.
I’ve had a number of different dishwashers since 2000 (KitchenAid; Frigidaire; Maytag; LG; GE; Whirlpool; and all of them did a great job cleaning tough loads while using less water and energy than vintage machines.
I use only the 1-hour cycle on my plain Jane 2017 Whirlpool portable and am impressed at how well it does on really grungy pots & pans in softened water with a high-quality detergent. This post was last edited 01/21/2020 at 19:00 | ||

OR
You simply appreciate the POWER you have with your dishwasher and realize
you can load the large cooking dishes right after the food is prepped and have them washing while the meal is served. Then, by the time the meal and dessert is over, they will be clean, you can unload and load the dinner dishes. Because that's how many people you served and that's how powerful you are with your dishwasher. YES! It's so quiet.

When the first thing you create with the new modeling software you’re learning is a pair of central-dial Maytags.
When you’re willing to spend thousands of dollars restoring old washers and dryers. When the first thing you ask after learning someone’s name is,”What kind of appliances do you have?” When you keep track of your friends and family based on what appliances they have. When you keep track of the years by remembering what appliances you had. When the first thing you do after arriving at someone else’s house is finding the kitchen, laundry room, and where they keep their vacuum cleaner. When you defeat the lid switch/lock on a family members washer to watch it run. When you go to a family members house and ask if they have any laundry to do. When you find something wrong with you’re Great Aunt’s washer and repair it while you’re visiting. When you see the clean washer reminder light on at a family member’s house and start it on a cleaning cycle immediately. | ||

I used my Classics IV '45' of "Every Day With You, Girl" and "Traces" as a timer while some cookies were baking, while the alarm on the stove buzzed during the "Somewhere" part of the lyrics in latter of which I was determined to finish the single and take the tinearm off of which the cookies luckily didn't burn...
But a neighbor who was watching the house asked if the timer was for the cookies, while I couldn't think of a sarcastic comeback for finishing a Nooooo, I gave out... (I was a bit of a brat!) -- Dave | ||

When you’re favorite sleep sound is a Maytag with a helictal transmission agitating.
When you enjoy going to the laundromat. When you can identify the model number of most central dial Maytags just by looking at the control panel. When you take pictures of your finds before you even unload them from the back of the truck. When you take all the good parts off you’re old dishwasher and list them on E-Bay because you can’t bear the thought of it dying in vane. When you’ve watched the brave little toaster at least a million times. When you name your appliances. When you knew the words “Maytag”, “agitator”, “Kenmore”, and “Whirlpool” by the time you were 4. When you’ve been silently judged by at least one person because of your interest in appliances. When you can tell which cycle the washer is on just by listening to it. When you restore a Kirby vacuum that looked like it had been at the bottom of the ocean to prove a point. When you do a science fair project on what type of washer cleans best to prove a point (This should go without saying, but old school top loaders won). When you delight as a family members washer that you hate is slowly dying, and try to sell them on getting a Speed Queen every time you see them. When the first washer and dryer brand you recommend to anyone is Speed Queen. When you have a T-shirt with the 1970’s Maytag logo on it. When you spend the same amount of money on a 1940’s sunbeam toaster as you could buy 5 modern toasters for. When the only way that you will give up your appliances is if someone prys them from your cold dead hands. | ||
