Re: [MBZ] OT dishwashers

2016-04-02 Thread rogerhga--- via Mercedes

I'm always amazed that you guys are always complaining about Maytag. I 
installed mine when I built my house in 1999. About 7-8 years ago Maytag did a 
recall on the door wiring and replaced it all for free. Last Summer, (16 years 
old) after reading an article on line, I took mine apart to clean the screens, 
etc. There was minimal material in the screens to remove. I use Cascade powder 
for cleaning. Now, this unit isn't the quietest, but it's fast and efficient. I 
guess the newer Maytags may have problems, but then it seems that most newer 
appliances do (made in China, trying to get a high energy rating, etc.). 
I know it goes against all the list "macho teachings", but if you have an 
appliance problem, maybe you should call an appliance repairman to 
repair/resolve it. There is that old expression about a man knowing his 
limitations.

We have a Kitcenaid that's several years old that I repaired twice under a
homeowners warranty.  Quiet and cleans well - no food disposal so no
maintenance other than adding the rinse agent.

Be careful - in the old house we bought a Bosch model that was affordable
but found out later it had the SMALL tub.  :(

Re: [MBZ] OT dishwashers


Bosch make different racks for different countries, but you should be able
to order what you need in terms of racks if you do some homework. The one
we got in 2010 is still in service but the door itself is flimsy
torsionally and the metal at the hinges was giving up, literally cracking.
Not impressed. Filters need cleaning and occasional de scale with vinegar.
No food grinder. Filters are easily removed. Racks in ours were terrible -
none of our dishes fit into that thing efficiently, and the flatware rack
was in the back of the bottom rack, which has to be the worst location for
it. The wheels fell off the top rack all the time and would get lost if not
put back on promptly. Yes it is quiet and energy efficient. Takes two hours
to do anything unless you pick quick wash, which turns out to be 90% of
what you use the machine for. Not terrible, but I won't be buying another
one.

I think i mentioned before here, but you should know that Bosch make the
dishwashers for all other high end brands also, eg kitchenaid, and
thermador and possibly viking/wolf also.  So you can shop around the
different brands for the best price on features and rack styles you want.

I think Miele might make one, but it will be double price of a bosch, and
probably only 1.5x as good. We are going with Fisher  and paykel dual
drawer model next.

Re: [MBZ] OT dishwashers

We have a Whirlpool "Quiet Partner I", which was about $200 a few years ago.  
Quieter than the 1994 Maytag it replaced, but not terribly quiet.  Plastic tub. 
 No filters, not many options, just gets the job done.  

I don't remember which brands make repair info available to home owners, but I 
think that is important.  I think it is very hard to find repair info for 
Maytag appliances.

Kitchen appliances are very simple compared to our beloved cars.  There's no 
good reason we shouldn't also fix our own appliances (if we want to).

[MBZ] Mobil One Rebates

2016-04-02 Thread Mitch Haley via Mercedes


The $12 (limit two rebates) rebate is back on Mobil's web site. What made it even better for me is that Meijer has it on sale (for another two weeks I think) for $23.xx a jug.And they've got an mperks online coupon for $5 off a $30 automotive purchase. And, yesterday and today, they had a coupon for $5 off a $50 purchase. So, I ended up paying less than $44 with tax for two jugs and two bags of potato chips. After the $24 rebate, that's $2 a quart, a price I haven't seen since 1987 (and it was an incredible sale back then).

and have it available in case the dishwasher in the rental house craps
out. I do like this 3rd top rack on some of the Bosch ones I have
seen. How does the filter thing work? Also, which Bosch did you get?

another sort of screen assembly deal that catches all sorts of crap. Long
story short I do not see how food particles would even make it past all this to
be chopped up by the chopper. I pretty much have to pull everything apart
about once every month or 2 and clean all the food particles out. Lately the
top rack is not getting clean at all even though I know the top spray arm is
spinning etc, its just leaving deposits all over everything. I pulled
everything apart again and cleaned it even though I just did it a couple of
weeks ago and it still does the same thing. I will research further but WOW it
sure does not seem like you should have to take the dishwasher apart monthly to
clean it out. I am starting to seriously consider just buying another one,
this time maybe a Bosch or something. I have always looked for washers with
the disposals and I understand the european models such as Bosch only have a
filter that you have to clean out. Since these are designed to be cleaned out
it seems easier than having to take the dish washer apart anyway. I know
several of you swear by Bosch so what is your feedback, or anybody elses? How
do these filters compare to the hard food disposals? Any thoughts or ideas on
my Maytag? This is the one we have now that is about a year and a half old.

So when we moved into this house I put in all new appliances which are

It has a hard food disposal which should get rid of pretty much

is not a single kernel of corn or green bean on a plate before putting

Re: [MBZ] Annoying craigslist sellers

I pretty much do it like you.  With all the scams and spammers now days 
I just about always have them ask any questions they may have after 
reading the detailed ad via email and once all their questions are 
answered I will then give them a phone number if they want to schedule 
an appointment.  What annoys me with this guy is I have been talking to 
him about it for a couple of days and wanted to look at it the other day 
but he was not available.  We set a time for today and I emailed him 
that I was heading his direction.  He should have said he has somebody 
else coming at the same time.  At least he did email me back though but 
I was literally right down the street from him at a stop light and just 
happen to check my phone.  Oh well.  I am not annoyed about the car but 
wasting the trip down to him.

Re: [MBZ] This sure seems cheap

Price is right.  Doesn’t look too bad.

Pre-1996 models are troublesome like the W140s are, only they don’t have the 
W140 issues. Distributor ignition, old style Bosch fuel injection, etc.

Stil looks like it might be a good deal.

The Merrie Monarch Festival is an Hula annual
contest in Hilo. In the world of Hula, it is the
olympics. The winners are the best of the best.

http://www.merriemonarch.com/the-festival
There will be live streaming from
http://www.merriemonarch.com/live-streaming
tonight at 11 PM central. This will be Hula
'auana and awards. The finalé for 2016.

I would define hula as storytelling. Most people
in the US have heard the song: "I wanna go back
to my little grass shack in Kealakekua Hawaii"
There is a hula that accompanies this song that
tells the story in movements. Every hula tells a
story.

There are different types of hula

Hula Kahiko is the ancient form, and includes
men's hula which is often preparation for war,
telling the story of victories, or a means of
intimidating a opposing force. As such, the
men's kahiko may be aggressive, loud and
intimidating. Other types of kahiko are
generally telling the story and history of the
land, the people and the customs. Accompaniment
is with traditional instruments such as the ipu
and Kala'au (sticks)

http://www.staradvertiser.com/breaking-news/kahiko-takes-the-stage-at-merrie-monarch-fesitval/

Hula 'auana is the modern hula and is what you
think of related to movies, advertisements for
tour companies and the like; the stereotypical
hula. The accompaniment is generally western
instruments such as ukulele, guitar and bass.

This website tells a few of the basic moves.
http://www.alohafriends.com/hulamoves.html

This site defines movements but does not help much with interpretation.
http://www.huladancehq.com/hula-dance-steps-in-depth.html

This video does a good job of defining hula
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwbnuANCDe4=ANyPxKpH66sq1D-D-CfUfT8dGE0_XMh3RY05yWLQKNahHaOSt3g-V60yfRj-qgPxVJd3OfjpkOu1Qv5S_-1zeCP2C1TsCJkVUg

As usual wikipedia knows all:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hula

You don't have to understand the Hawaiian
language. I don't know more than a few words. I
enjoy Hawaiian music as well as hapa-haole music,
and I enjoy the Hula. I am more drawn to the
Hula Kahiko.

[MBZ] Annoying craigslist sellers

Been talking to a guy that has a car in CL. Setup time today I was going to 
look at it. I emailed the guy right when I left that I was on the way. Drove an 
hour to get there and he emailed me again right as I was almost to his house 
that he sold it. Really?

Well, try the one that came with it first - right click the C: in th
windows file explorer, choose properties, then tools. Optimize and
defragment drive should be an option.

Re: [MBZ] New Frontier

I hope they get their act together.  Right now it’s like a Three Stooges 
episode around here with the changeover.

Our other option is Brighthouse, who is being bought out by Comcast.  I’m not 
going there, for sure.

Our FIOS contract ends this month, so it’s going to be interesting to see what 
their retention efforts are like.  Verizon was pretty aggressive, and if you 
went off contract for a month or two and ignored their calls and promotional 
mail, you could call them up and haggle for a better deal.

I'm not sure why you are blaming Windows for these types of files. I set Norton

Kaleb, It does seem to run faster, load, program launches, shut down, etc. 
Dan, I don't know about security issues. The upgrade kept my Win 7 settings. I 
then went into Security settings after the upgrade and tweaked anything I 
didn't like or want. And then I left Defender on and I run Norton, so I don't 
have security issues...or at least none I know of. Maybe ignorance is bliss, 
but I'm ok so far.

I did on the wife's PC - and it works fine overall. I did not notice an
increase in performance. Sometimes "Edge" - the new "improved" browser acts
up and she screams at it - but she did that before the upgrade also. I'm
experimenting with Opera, Iron, Comodo Dragon, Comodo IceDragon, and
SeaMonkey to find an easier, less annoying alternative for her.

Verizon got bought out by Frontier in my area a few years ago. I do not have 
FIOS available, so I have ADSL. I have had no complaints. 

When I have had to deal with tech related customer service, it is based in the 
good old US of A, staffed with intelligent, articulate people. I had my 
internet go out last week, for a few hours, as a matter of fact. ‎I thought it 
was fixed while I was at work, and a field tech showed up a few days later to 
follow up. He had called first to let me know he was coming. No sooner did he 
leave, and my Internet crapped out again. I called him up on the number from 
the caller ID and he came back, checked the lines, then went and reset 
something at the central office. He said if I had any more issues with it, to 
call him on his work phone, and he would see to it that it would be fixed. He 
even called back the following day to reaffirm my ADSL was working properly. 

I am sorry you are having problems in your switch to Frontier. In my area, they 
are great.
