First World Problems...

Look carefully. The blade has two sides, only one of which is sharp. Yet it can be removed and flipped over so that the dull side is presented to the food being peeled.

Unless there is some way to sharpen the tiny blade with a tiny stone, I see no reason to remove it. Yet inexplicably, somebody removed mine, and FLIPPED IT OVER!

Clearly there are imps at work in my home, and I may be in need of some sort of exorcism, or at least a cleansing by fire!

The teeth aren't large like that and don't cut deep at all. So, not for julienning.

I went looking for a new supply this week looking at hardware stores, craft stores, etc. There were none in town. WTF! Oh sure, they could be ordered but none on the shelves. Ended up ordering from Amazon. Apparently young people (under fifty) no longer use them. Maybe everything is digital. Reminded me of the trouble I had last year finding cards for a circular rolodex, the kind with the slots. As someone who would happily trade in his smart phone for a landline and answering machine that uses tapes, I guess I shouldn't be surprised anymore. I do not worship at the church of digital storage. Perhaps I should be grateful to still be able to find scotch tape and rubber bands. For now.

94 DINGEE WHITE FABRIC
When one of my daughters-in-law visited yesterday, she brought a bag of white clothing items (handed down for my grand-daughter) which she asked if I could whiten/brighten up a bit without using chlorine bleach ... Oddly, I had recently tested a new "recipe" spotted on the internet which did an impressive job on hubby's old white sox; so I tried it on the hand-me-down items ... The reason for no chlorine is that it's corrosive on front-loading washer gaskets ... Anyway, while this new recipe did not remove what I'm guessing was a few dots of Sharpie permanent ink, it did a very nice job removing the dingee-ness ... See my next post for the recipe [continued]

NON-CHLORINE PRE-SOAK FOR FABRIC WHITENING

Ingredients:
8 cups hot water
3/4 cup white vinegar
3 Tbsp. powdered detergent (laundry or dishwasher)
2 denture cleaning tablets (Polident, for example)

Directions:
~First determine if you need a single or multiple batches of this pre-soak solution (based on the amount of clothing), then choose your soaking container.
~Pour hot water into the container; next add the vinegar, powdered detergent, and denture tabs; stir.
~Add clothing to container and stir gently to make sure all the fabric is wetted.
~Soak for 1 hour; drain, wring out, then transfer to washing machine for regular laundering. For even more whitening, add a scoop of OxyClean White Revive.
~For those with sensitive skin, perform an additional separate Extra Rinse to remove any leftover residues from these treatments.

What could go wrong?

Aside from the THREE damn filters in the thing. Two can be cleaned easily. One is more difficult to reach and you have to let the damn thing dry 24 hours!

This was the worst thing I ever bought and I bought a Coleco Adam computer.

Went to the vacuum store, which I should have done first. They still make American made Electrolux vacuums, which I looked for. $1500 bucks, loud as hell so I wear earplugs but it gets the job done.

USA! USA! USA!

168 I miss having a fabric store in town. The Joann's Fabrics closed down several years ago. I don't know the economics of the business but it was pretty busy. I wasn't the only guy who went there with a micrometer when buying material for BP shooting patches or getting heavy canvas for a shooting bag. All that stuff is available online from some place or other, but there are some things that are better to get in person. Besides, it was amusing to see the reactions of the women and little girls when a tall bulky guy with a white beard came in.

170 For cheap, flimsy ones, yes. I haven’t been in one recently: has something changed?
Posted by: NemoMeImpuneLacessit at August 03, 2025 03:50 PM (FwJ+V)

I'm still using spatulas, drainers, can openers ,large spoons, measuring cups , pizza cutters, peelers, etc that I bought years ago from the Dollar Store.

Not flimsy at all.

173 If imps are the problem, you may need an exorcist. But this is a religious question: as I recall from The Fearless Vampire Killers when a cross is used on a certain vampire “Oy vey! Have you got the wrong vampire!”

===================
Try visiting YELP-DOT-COM and typing in your location and "fabric" in the search fields ... Businesses in your area which repair sewing machines might also be able to tell you about local places to buy supplies ... Just a couple suggestions.

There's no point having a fancy kitchen if your driveway is cracking. Fix the driveway first.

183 158 .. "The black/white vs. white/black aliens episode of Star Trek TOS was a weak one, mainly because it was hitting the viewers on the head, repeatedly, with its moral."

Agree in part. But Frank Gorshin's acting was excellent and improved the episode. (I wonder if there were out takes of Gorshin doing a James Cagney or Burt Lancaster impression.)

btw, the "oscar" "academy" in charge of giving out fake awards to hollywood degenerate celeries finally decided to add "Best Stuntman" category.

But, but...it doesn't take effect until 2028.

WHY?? Why not this year? Who cares. You know no white man will get the award, so who cares.
