DR singdaw, I'm very grateful that you agreed to sing on the Victor Herbert collection.  I just listened to "When the Right One Comes along," and it's quite delightful.  There is once track on the recording that I wish I could redo because I think I got it totally wrong. I think my favorite track might be Rebecca's "Indian Summer."

Dental appt. vibes for DR VIXMOM today.

I would recommend that you get a microwave with at least 1100 watts of power......that's what most food packages list when they are suggesting their cooking times.

We have had many brands - and like DR JANE I usually buy mine because of size.....or sometimes color.  Probably the best one we have had has been GE.  The worst was Panasonic.

Title: Re: THE DARLING DAUGHTER PAYS A VISIT
Post by: ChasSmith on February 06, 2021, 06:54:37 AM
I always had standalone microwave ovens, but now it's a built-in above the stove, and when I got that I just went with the brand that the stove was so they'd match.

A couple of years after having that one, something was wonky with the door handle. I forget what, exactly, but we eventually figured out that because it's right over the highest powered burner (it's a gas stove), the heat had gradually screwed up the handle. We chose its replacement (different brand) because its handle wasn't plastic. It's a lightweight metal that might feel warm to the touch now and then but it holds up just fine over that burner.

As for what power it is, or anything else about it, I haven't the slightest idea. :)  Maybe I'll pull out the manual and have a look.

Is is a regular bike, DR John G., or electric assist?  Extra wide wheels?

A regular bike, but 21-speed, meant for riding on pavement, not mountains.

Watching a strange French movie called Deerskin. A recently divorced and depressed man uses all his money to buy a fringed deerskin coat. He also wants to make a slasher film. The coat starts talking to him, and he begins to make his movie by really slashing people. It stars Jean Dujardin from The Artist. And well, it's just not as clever as it thinks it is.

Listened to a wonderful opera by a composer of which I know nothing and apparently I'm not alone in that, and now playing is a comic opera called Der Barbier von Bagdad by Cornelius - I gather the source material is the same as The Barber of Seville. It's a short two-act opera, and its companion opera in this 2-CD set is by Busoni, entitled Arlecchino.

I'm too lazy to go downstairs to see what brand mine is, but I think mine is also more than 1200.  I also have to cut my cooking time.  All of my appliances were here when I moved in in 2006 and they all still work well enough for me.

Tonight I watched some episodes from Netflix original series UNSOLVED MYSTERIES. In this one episode, the guy was explaining how he could possibly be the murderer of this young woman he said, “When I get high I lose control control and I am an entirely different person.  I’m a real jerk. It’s a whole Heckle and Jekyll thing.”
