Consumer Reports: How to Make Pricey Appliances Last
The cost of maintaining a home and appliances is often a major deterrent for those debating whether to rent or purchase a home. The unexpected expense of fixing leaky gutters and broken dishwashers can be budget breaking if it comes at the wrong time of month. Not to mention it's a huge pain.
We love new appliances
because people ask for it (ok..only Shiloh... but still)

I told my mom that as soon I cant I will buy a new stove, the old one didn't have a working oven like for..
Keeping Your Appliances In Their Best Shape
To keep your washing machine new, every few months fill
the machine with warm water and a pint of vinegar. This
will clean out the hoses and stop clogging.
This works for the dishwasher as well!
Who would have thunk it.
"Because you’re sexy, you’ve gotten into the habit of switching off your out of use appliances, but did you know that many appliances enter “passive standby” mode when they are turned off (so they can start up quickly when turned back on), and continue to suck energy after you’ve flipped the “off” switch? In fact, as much as 40 percent of the energy used to power appliances is consumed while they are turned off. Unplugging your appliances is a good way to reduce energy waste by as much as 1000 pounds per year, but can be inconvenient.
Target - Black Friday Deals
I saw this ad tonight and thought you ladies may be interested in knowing about the Target deal early. I also cut this article down because it was REALLY long.
Retailer's 'doorbuster discounts' reportedly include a 32-inch LCD HDTV for $246 and a $10 free gift card when you spend $100 or more.

Laundry-themed Halloween
Here are my 6 and 7-year old peanuts Nate and Ben as a Kenmore washer and dryer set, and my 2-year old Jonas as a missing sock. We took the photo while trick-or-treating in the mall, at the Sears store in front of their fellow appliances!
Rice Cooker
So, I'm sure there's some super-specialized place on the internet that could answer this question for me, but what I want to know is how many of you ladies have a rice cooker, and what else do you do with it? I just finally got one tonight and made some fantastic, perfectly cooked brown rice. I've been wanting one forever, because I'm so easily distracted I always wander away from the stove and accidentally let my rice burn. (Or I put in too much water.) I know, set a timer, I'm just ADD in the kitchen, I hear the timer, taste the rice, and wander away again, thinking to myself, "I'll go check on it in a minute...". And it seems like every time it takes a different amount of time to get to the right consistency, 25 minutes, 30 minutes, 35 minutes... Easier to pony up the thirty bucks for the appliance than to try and change my behavior to become patient enough to deal, you know? Plus, honestly, the first batch of rice we made was so tasty, it's better than anything we've made on the stove, I don't know why.10 Ways To Be More Green

Philippine Floods--Why wasn't Manila prepared?
By ISHAAN THAROOR Ishaan Tharoor – 38 mins ago In Manila, millions of residents now live in a world of mud. Torrential rain over the weekend triggered the worst flooding the Philippines' capital has seen in over four decades, submerging more than 80% of the city, killing at least 246 people and displacing hundreds of thousands more. By Tuesday, the water had receded in many places, but it left behind ruined homes and swept-away neighborhoods, and according to health officials, it disabled the majority of Manila's medical facilities.
