Can someone explain the part about pre-approved credit offers? All I can think of is that a thief could get into your mailbox or you might be careless and not shred it before getting rid of it.
 
Also, one thing I always worry about is the possibility that I could be in an accident and die tomorrow, and even if I send a letter to relatives beforehand telling them where valuables are hidden, you just know they're either going to lose that information or be under such pressure by the big clean-out chore ahead of them that the valuables will get thrown out by accident anyway.
 
Included:
 
"21 secrets burglars won't tell you"
 
"13 signs your house is vulnerable to robbery"
 
"26 Secrets an Identity Thief Definitely Doesn't Want You to Know"
 
"how to avoid being an easy target for criminals"
 
"13 security tips that could protect your home from a break-in"
 
"20 secrets a home security installer won't tell you"
 
 
 
 
Lenona.

BITD my favorite was Sparks but I don't think they make it anymore.
 
Now, if it's an emergency, whatever is cheapest or most easily available. None of them work that well anyway.

I certainly have no idea what those items cost -- never wanted to buy
any of them.

Hi
I own two of those Staber washing machines.
One is at my daughter's and one at my house.
The older one about 10 years old is working fine.
The other at my daughter is in need of motor after maybe three years of use.
 
Now i have to tell you about my adventure with German front loader washing machine MIELE ..what a total junk. Paid over $3500.00 Canadian for it. It took four adult man to carry it inside the house. It is small and heavy, reminded me of German WW2 tanks. No one warned us about it. beware. After connecting it it worked like a charm for about two months. Plugged filters. Almost everyday on the city water. My wife had to unplug it. Of course she needed help from a handy husband Lol. In the first year water leak developed we called the company and were told that the technician will come but if it's not covered under warranty we will have to pay $200.00 for his visit. we have and ended up paying $200.00 for nothing as we were told the seal where the water pump filter is located is leaking and we have to tighten the screw. Well after about two and a half years dealing with the ever present leak the washer started to leak some seriously. we call Miele again this time $250.00 for the call and technician tells us that we need to purchase a rubber boot for water drain connected to the machine basin and wait for this part as he didn't have it in stock, cost was about $800.00 plus $250.00 repair call.
Well it sounded like "the real German engineering" do you recall VW diesel programming scam and lately testing the diesel emissions on people "Dr. Mengele style" ( Dr. Mengele was German Nazi Dr. who tested all kinds of cruel pseudo medical methods on children and prisoners at the German Nazi Concentration Camp in occupied Poland during WW 2)
 
We sold the house where the biggest German Miele scam of the washing machine world remained. Not paying anyone to brake their back moving this piece of history.
 
One more word of caution, German Miele had control of the price the Enbridge gas in Whitby, the store where this item was sold and for how much. I was told that if they were to lower the price Miele would take away their right to sell Miele line of products. All stores were to sell it at the retail suggested price.
No exceptions.
I would call it a price fixing scheme.
So i called the competition bureau of Canada to inform them about this practice. After they requested too much info from me I just said forget it. Didn't want to be involved in the court battle with the big German firm.
 
Conclusion, Staber is a good washer, my daughter loves it. my entire family loves the way it washes clothes, no smell of detergent residue on my clothes and no detergent allergy reactions. As we all know all things break down ad that's part of the industrial design build in obsolescents. We are to blame for it as well.
Lets be fair to Staber.
i wish there were more companies like them designing products in a common and simple way so those can be inexpensive and easy to repair. buying inexpensive universal and readily available components.
 
Sorry if I have upset the person who is complaining here in the first place.
Sounded like you worked for this company and it did't work out for you?
Sorry if i'm wrong.
 
Sincerely,
happy Canadian Staber supporter and customer

> You don't have to kill the mice. There are plenty of traps made to catch them so you can take them outside or down the road in the woods. You may also watch videos that tell you how to make your own or order them online or at your local hardware store or Walmart. I made one and it worked. If you don't understand why one should catch and release, read up on PETA. There is no way I will kill another animal if it can be helped, nor will I eat their meat knowing how they are abused and killed to get to market. I even catch and release insects, including spiders, and I'm a 67 year old woman. They deserve to live out their lives as we do. They are only trying to get out of the cold, just as we do, and their pain is equal to ours.

I'm sorry but no...just no. First off you need to read up more on PETA yourself. Look up what they do with all the animals they "rescue". Look up how they treat cultures and people whose lives depend on hunting. In my opinion, PETA is quite literally a hypocritical terrorist organization whose whole reason for existing is not to save animals on earth but to do one thing - make money, just like every other greedy human. Finally, if a mouse is going to come into my home in the winter then it's going to die in a trap. Natural selection.
