Still Works Like New After 62 Years






Check out www.chamberstoves.net and www.vintagechambers.com for more information.
I've been using my new Chambers range for about a week now and am sooo happy to have found it. Sold the modern stove on craigslist today for more than I paid for the Chambers. Had to give up the cupboard that was between the old stove and the refrigerator and am now scrambling for places to put things. Where can I find an 8 1/2 inch wide cupboard base?

This is What $8,000 Damage Looks Like









Jacob missed a stop light on the way to the dentist Thursday. Noone was hurt, thankfully. I think I'll be car shopping soon.

Gas Off


I hated my new Maytag stove as soon as I bought it. Since I first saw Sam's Martha Stewart-green Chambers stove in his Sherman Hill apartment, I was jealous. Notoriously heavy, after Two Men in a Truck delivered it, they told him never to call them again. Thankfully, my friend Doug and his friend Cody know how to move anything anywhere. It's all about the straps, apparently. My butter-yellow BZ model is a little rough, but I love it. This is what it looks like without the backsplash which is still in my living room. Hopefully, it works. Now, does anyone know a good degreaser?

A Single Man



Colin Firth to The Huffington Post regarding his Oscar nomination: “I thought I was managing my expectations, but on hearing the news I discovered new and unfamiliar vocal tones. Perhaps I should do another musical.”
That boy from About a Boy has become quite a cutie.
Go see this movie.
