In Reply to: Homemade Bread - many questions
i have made loaves from hand, and i do believe they are better. but you cannot beat the ease of the bread machine! Its almost sinful :) (add liquids, add flour, butter/salt/yeast/etc and turn on) I work full time and was given one as a gift, an Oster. Love it :) if you want to shape loves and bake them the oven, it has a setting to just mix the dough too. It has a number of different settings. and yes, you can add all your own ingredients. I tried a few ready-mixes and don't like them. I was also given a fabulous bread book. it has everything you could ever want to know i think and the best mouth-watering pictures! (e/m me if you want the name). If you want homemade but quick and easy, do try a good bread machine. but i am also going to try NYMTs recipe -- sounds good too!

Never could get the bread machines
to work really well using fresh ingredients, the boxed mixes worked good but are more expensive than a loaf of bread. I have a few recipes for the oven that turn out great though.
washing machines
I thought my clothes would be de-dirtified & wrapped in cellophane.
Questions re: Massage machines
Hi,
Looking to buy a massager for my feet mostly, but would like to use on other body parts as well--those MT hands and fingers and elbows and...on and on, and so a versatile massager would be great.
Was considering buying one of those little tripod jobs as a first time test, but they're $10 and it seemed foolish to drop that amount of money when I could get a serious one for 1-1/2 to 2x the price on eBay, etc.
I've been checking eBay, Amazon, Overstock, etc. In general, the customer reviews for Dr. Scholl's is a big, fat NO as regards a variety of that company's models, so I'm not interested and have taken them permanently off my search list.
--Otherwise, anyone have any suggestions on model/brand, etc.? I've seen on line several Pollenex and Sharper Image products that got good reviews and look like they're worth buying.
--Can anyone fill me in on the infrared massagers and what's so wonderful about them?
--Also, I have a sleep disorder; has anyone heard of a massager used near the head and/or neck causing neurologic interference or sleep problems due to the vibrations, electrical pulses?
(Once I saw an acupuncturist who used a machine with pads and electrodes that were applied to my head area--against my better judgement I allowed it. I should have told him noooo freakin' way, but foolishly didn't. My sleep was severely disturbed for several days despite my medication which is extremely effective.
Thanks a bunch.
Have Braille on Drive Up Teller Machines?
I'm very near sighted so don't go smacking me around for being insensitive to the needs of those "less fortunate." I just think this is a funny thing, that's all!
Sewing machines make me crazy...sm
I had my mom's old machine. I kept it for a few years because I would make my son's costumes at Halloween and things. Well it was such a pain in the a** I told my mom a few months ago she could take the thing back. I would have problems getting the dang thing started. Or either be sewing along and realize it wasn't actually sewing. It never went smoothly and it fustrated me. So I said enough of this.
